Trash to Treasure Tuesday

Good Tuesday morning, everyone!  We had a fabulous time on our Spring Break vacation in the Sunshine State, and are settling back in at home.  The fridge is still empty and the laundry pile is as tall as one of my children, but, hey, it will all get done.

Hopefully my Trash to Treasure project that I planned to share today will eventually get done too. 

I hate it when I have more important things to do than decorate.

Anyway, here’s the inspiration picture for what I’m working on in our stairwell.

IMG_1110Be. still. my. heart.  I saw this frame and mirror collage at Cottage Instincts last week, and fell in love.   I want want want a similar look to update our stairwell, so I’m collecting frames and searching for small mirrors.  I plan to have my version done to show you next week.  Fingers crossed that the laundry fairy shows up to help me out.

Here are a couple of other favorite finds from last week.

headboardOh, how I love this headboard from the girls at All Things Thrifty.  Makes me want to redecorate my recently redecorated bedroom.

before-and-after I’m so planning to copy this DIY metal sign project from Peppertowne.  I have a little thing for vintage metal signs, but the real thing is real thing expensive. 

Link up those projects everyone, and enjoy this beautiful spring day!
