Hopefully you found some great ideas last week in our first Trash to Treasure feature. And hopefully it got you thinking about how to look at things in a different light. Sometimes all it needs is a coat of paint! ;)

If you have a project to share POP your link into the comments section below!

IN the meantime..........Here are some ideas to inspire you as you hit some yard sales, and second hand stores this weekend. I found all these great ideas at my moms house! enjoy!
Mail organizer - A simple block of wood, paint, large spring and 2 screws. Stretch the spring across the wood and secure it on each end with a screw!



















































Paint can do WONDERS for lamps - the shades and the base! don't pass up an old lamp because the finish on it doesn't fit your style. A bit of green paint on this lampshade finished off with some vintage buttons in my Mom's sewing/craft room and now it's fun piece that adds character to the room!


















A score for $3.00 gives this item new life! and she didn't even have to paint it! Now it holds all the utensils for roasting marshmellows and hot hogs!





















A peeling red gate was salvaged and placed behind this chair in the living room. A great way to add color, interest and texture to the room!



































And lastly, a quaint faded chair gets a whole new purpose sitting on the porch housing a potted plant.
