Upcycled Decor Project Ideas {Maternity Leave Guest Post}

Hey Mom Endeavor read­ers! I’m Saman­tha and I blog over at Lil­lian McKay Designs and A Lit­tle Sim­plic­ity. I am excited to be here while Sara is adjust­ing to life with two lit­tle boys & a new baby. {Aren’t they just super adorable?!}

One of my favorite tips to give when some­one says they are redec­o­rat­ing, is to upcy­cle things you already have on hand. The more you dec­o­rate with items you already have, the more you will save. Plus maybe that sav­ings will help you buy that cute new rug you’ve been eying. With our recent move across coun­try I’ve been doing just that, upcy­cling “old” items into cute “new” pieces for our walls. Here are three of my favorite projects so far…

DIY Chalk­board Sign

Upcy­cled Can­vas Painting

DIY Map Frame

All three projects cost me under $10 total! Which means more money can now go to the upgraded light fix­tures fund. {yay!}

Thanks Sara for let­ting me stop by & share some of my projects. I hope you enjoy all those extra pre­cious moments that come with new babies.
