My Favorite Thrifty DIY Projects

Hey friends! This month the Thrifty Style Team has decided to share some of their past thrifty posts! Whether they are past thrift store or flea market excursions or favorite thrifty DIY projects, there is sure to be something awesome to be found on each blog this month, so be sure to visit them all!

Redhead Can Decorate | 2 Bees in a Pod | At the Picket Fence | Bliss Ranch | Chatfield Court | Cottage at the Crossroads | The How-To Home | DIY Beautify | Duke Manor Farm | I Should be Mopping the Floor | Salvage Sister and Mister | Smart Fun DIY | The Painted Hinge | What Meegan Makes
 
 
I’m sharing my favorite thrifty DIY projects on the blog to date! You can see everyone’s contributions to this month’s Thrifty Style Team at the bottom of this post! 🙂
  
Entryway Table Repurposed from a Coffee Table
 
 
My Entryway Table Repurposed from a Coffee Table is one of my very first thrifty projects I shared here. This was a coffee table that started splitting down the middle due to water damage, but I just couldn’t find it in myself to throw it out. Instead I cut it in two pieces longways along the split and came up with this.
 
The one thing that’s interesting about this project is that people either absolutely love it or can’t stand it. Everyone has a right to their opinion, and whether people love it or hate it, in the end it still drives traffic here. Like the old saying goes, there’s no such thing as bad publicity, as long as they get the spelling of my blog URL right. 🙂 I plan on writing about my experience as a blogger with this and why you should always post what you personally like on your blog no matter what anyone else thinks, so stay tuned! 🙂
 
Shabby Chic Fall Wreath Tutorial
 
Shabby Chic Fall Wreath Tutorial
 
My Shabby Chic Fall Wreath Tutorial is another of my very first thrifty projects I posted on here. It is my most popular post on Hometalk by far with over 2.8 million views. I think what people like about it is that it is a simple  and thrifty project, but it looks like it took a lot of time, money and effort to make. 
 
Herb Drying Rack from a Repurposed Picture Frame
 
 
Along the same theme as the frame wreath above, my Herb Drying Rack Repurposed From A Picture Frame was also popular as well as  being thrifty and useful. I’m still using it today – I have it hanging in my pantry where I use it to dry herbs from our garden, which saves me even more money – herbs are so expensive to buy in stores! It’s the thrifty project that just keeps on thrifting! 🙂
 
DIY Farmhouse Tray From A Repurposed Cabinet Door
 
 
One of my more recent thrifty projects, my DIY Farmhouse Tray From A Repurposed Cabinet Door is one of my personal favorites. It is so simple to make, yet the finished project is as useful as it is elegant. And you can pretty much get everything you need for this project for next to nothing at your local Habitat For Humanity ReStore. What’s not to love?
 
Cookie-cutter Mirror Gets A Farmhouse Style Makeover
 
 

Another of my more recent thrifty projects, my Cookie-cutter Mirror Gets A Farmhouse Style Makeover is another personal favorite. I am working on making over one of our downstairs bathrooms, and I really love that I was able to makeover the mirror I had in there with a more rustic look without having to spend any money to buy a new mirror!

I hope you enjoyed my walk down my memory lane of thrifty projects! Be sure to visit the other Thrifty Style Team member’s projects below!

Yo! I finally got my front porch decorated for fal Yo! I finally got my front porch decorated for fall! I’m always late on decorating our front porch for fall because the almonds on and around our farm are harvested in mid to late September. The process of harvesting almonds creates an enormous amount of dust which covers everything outside. Add all the ash from the recent fires in our area and everything was covered with an inch of dust and ash by the time everything was said and done. (I’m exaggerating there, but not by much.) If you'd like to see more pics of my fall front porch, please visit my blog - link in my profile. Have an awesome Saturday!⁣

Hey guys! I am thrilled to have had the oppurtunity to try out the one of the paints from the One-Step Paint line by @amyhowardathome ! The color is a departure from the light neutrals I usually favor, but I have to say I am totally in love with the results! Stepping outside the box can be a good thing! 😍 You can find the complete list of Amy Howard at Home products I used and step-by-step instructions on my blog - link in my profile. Happy painting!⁣
