I love working on upcycle projects because they breathe new life into objects that might otherwise end up in the landfill. I also love getting organized. So, when an upcycle project actually helps me get organized, I know it’s a winner.
If you’ve been visiting my blog for a while, you probably know about my most recent upcycle project – where my husband and I took an old dresser and two salvage shop kitchen cabinets and turned them into built-ins for my dressing room.
This idea has been around for a long time. But these jewelry organizers were fun to make – and they were a great way to use my vintage button collection.
We simply couldn’t chuck this cute old cabinet door that was original to our house, so I turned it into a chalkboard for our kitchen. We use it every day to keep track of our grocery needs.
This post also talks about a couple of mystery chambers that we found during our laundry room remodel. Old houses hold many secrets!
Thanks for helping me sort through my blog’s attic today. My plan is to continue to organize the attic, so I’ll be posting more roundups from time to time.

All wonderful ideas!! I use many old pieces of furniture in my home, ones I picked up for a song (or free!) and they are some of my favorite pieces! I love giving something new life – not only does it save it from the landfill, but it also gives a home such character.
I agree Debbie! It’s so fun to find unique pieces. Right now I have the cutest side table I found at Value Village. I’m still waiting til I find inspiration on where to use it, and then I can’t wait to give it a facelift.
