Since I work with Habitat ReStore so closely, I am always challenging myself to come up with upcycling ideas for some of their more commonly found items. Like these Christmas ornaments that I made for them a couple of years ago. Today, however, I decided to do the same with a vent register, which they always have in stock. It seemed like the perfect piece to use as a paper sorter of sorts; or more specifically, a greeting card holder.Read more ›

The picture frame section at thrift stores is full of potential treasures. Unique art to decorate your home, picture frames to upcycle or repurpose, and yes, the occasional corkboard. Since I am a notorious list-maker and note-keeper, I decided to snag one from Habitat ReStore for my desk. But, of course, I had plans on transforming it into a decorative corkboard that was just as pretty as it was functional.

I was cleaning up my Craft Room a bit and found some cork board sheets that I had snagged on a thrifting adventure in the past. I was about to put them in the “re-donate” pile (which I am CONSTANTLY adding to), but thought better of it. If I found the picture frame, I could combine them into a framed cork board to use as home office decor!Read more ›
