{Replace - New Face: Borrowed DIY Before & Afters}

Face it, who doesn't love D.I.Y. (do it yourself) projects - especially when the project allows us to re purpose, "junk," we already have?!! Save a little cash, spare the landfill, and breathe life into a tired piece of furniture. Finding a great piece of used furniture at a great price is one of the great joys of shopping Craigslist and flea markets. Check out some of the fantastic and very creative DIY projects that I've stumbled upon today. Enjoy!

I'm thinking my favorite is the file cabinet turned planter - sh-mazing, right? Hey lovely readers - if you have any of your own DIY projects that you would like to share - email me and I will be sure to post them. I love posting before and afters - so inspiring!

Have a great one peeps!
