Hello and happy Friday Eve everyone! I’m so glad that you popped in today for this month’s Thrift Store Decor Upcycle Challenge. Each month I team up with my super talented bloggers friends to give a thrifted item a little bit of love.
The Rules:
- Upcycle an item(s) from a thrift store, resale store, or garage sale into a new piece of decor.
- There’s no monthly theme.
- There’s no budget to stick to.
Meet the Hosts
I’m not really sure what it was used for at one time–a memo board of some sort maybe? I liked the shape and knew there just had to be something that I could make with it.

I hope you all have a fantastic weekend. We are headed out this morning to take the kids on their first official vacation at an indoor water part resort. We’re only staying for one night but we are through the roof excited about it! See you all next week 🙂
And now for more thrifty goodness!
