I am super excited to say that my husband and I will be buying our first home in the next couple weeks, and I have been so excited that I have been collecting some tutorials and DIY that I can do once we get our home. I had always had a dream to teach people to decorate there home with
up-cycled items to save A LOT of money and cut down on consumption. We throw away perfectly good items all the time and I like take these items and re purpose them into something useful and beautiful! So, this will be a sort of prelude to things to come, because as soon as I move in we will be doing tutorials DAILY! I will share every step of the way with you all in hopes to inspire to do your own re-decorating with re-purposing!
 So my own personal preference for decorating would be a cottage style, if there is another style you would be interested in seeing in a post, please email me rubbishlove22@gmail.com and I would be happy to make you a post on it:)
 Also, as you know my store is full of re purposed items and signs, furniture and if you are looking for custom signs or custom pallet furniture please visit my shop and send me email, I can make you the perfect sign or have my husband build you custom furniture piece . I have worked really hard the past several months to make sure that all my customers are happy and Love there signs and I am happy to say that I am on my 43 sale!!!

Alright lets get started, the first place we are going to go is my pin board on pinterest and to the board labeled:
{PROJECTS} FOR MY NEW HOME!!
These are a few DIY that I have found that I WILL be doing!!

HERE WE GO!!
You will soon learn that I am not interested in anything that looks like it was made in China and mass produced ,I find more value and soul in something that has been around the block a few times.
Even if it needs to be cleaned and fixed I think is worth any amount of time put into it.
Here are some kitchen ideas that I found and I will explain why I like these and also how easy it is to do!
This particular kitchen is so simple as you can tell but I love it because it is rustic..the only thing about this kitchen to me it is too plain and too simple. I love the idea of the open cabinets and I love the pallet table and pallet on the wall but I like more color and well clutter. I Love the idea of bringing different items with no relationship to one another together to make a unified look! I love this look  in the below picture too it really suites my obbession with chalkboard paint. I also am in love with this vintage looking freezer door I would love to find one and make something similar in my own kitchen.

  Any of these kitchen are easily achievable with a little work! You need pallets which are either free or very inexpensive and you can scope out your local thrift stores. Craigslist's free section is AMAZING and if you are up for it go check out your local alleys, you can find some truly amazing items that people throw away all the time.
 I am going to make a goal to see if I can decorate my home with Little to no money involved!


This is truly simple but I absolutely love it!! Easily find a drawer and turn it into a little side table!!

I have been collecting suitcases for this very reason, and I cannot wait to make my own...To make
Collect 6 suitcases ..thrift store, relatives and alleys
and you can get an old dresser, remove the drawers paint and distress!



 Here is another easy project with a suitcase, make a little end table!

I love this next idea and I have noticed that it has become really popular and you can be assured that I will be trying it in my new home,it is using a dresser as your bathroom vanity. It is a great way to re-purpose an old dresser. I have come across some many dresser for free or hardly nothing, add a little paint and scuff that baby with some sand paper and BAM you have this.....



I love the way this bathroom is so clean and white and is contrasted with this bright very distressed dresser. It is a wonderful balance and with the touch of green in the plant this is such an inviting bright room.
Here are few more examples:

Tip: If the drawers are no good or are missing  you can leave it open and it looks great, or even make curtains to go in front for a country look.


Ok moving right along I want to show some pallet bedrooms..Welcome to one of my favorite parts....

here is a room with pallet beds hung with rope...I love it as a guest bedroom idea..
The pic is kinda blurry but I think you will like it!

I love pallet couches and I love the idea of the big cushions and using a ton pillows to make it oh so cozy!


It is also great for a small bedroom make a bed that doubles as a couch.

Pallet storage, here are some very easy to make shelves.







  


Now here is some very inexpensive ways to perk up an accent wall with
pallets! This looks amazing and rustic but blends well with a white clean look!




 Well that is it for know, I will definitely be doing more posts on this subject and I know as soon as I get my new place I will walk you all through the whole process. I honestly like the way the up-cycled re purposed items and homes look way better than something new and bought at the store. My entire Idea for my home is to decorate it all from free or very inexpensive items. I want to teach others that are interested that you can have the cutest homes on a budget and there is something just some much more interesting and beautiful about something that has been recycled.
If you are interested and need any tips or ideas for your home, I am full of ideas and concepts feel free to write me and I would love to help anyone out!
Thanks so much for reading always remeber to do what you love, you will be rewarded for doing what your heart desires!
