Do you know what time it is? It's the second Tuesday of the month which means is Trash to Treasure Tuesday! {{excited applause}} My gal friends have created inspiration for you that you'll see in a bit. For my trashure fun today, I've got a repurposed antique sign...er...soon to be. Take a look at this made in _____ gem. Kinda a hot mess with tousled raffia, falling off crow, and mossy mess. Fall Decor Before Upcycle by Larissa of Prodigal Pieces | prodigalpieces.com A friend sent me a message asking if I wanted this. You bet! What a fun challenge this is, right?

DIY TIME

First order of business to tear this puppy apart. Talk about therapy! haha. It literally took two whacks of a hammer to get this to fall to pieces. Disassembles Fall Decor for Repurposed Antique Sign by Prodigal Pieces | prodigalpieces.com What you can obviously see is a moon, two rusty stars, a crow, and some really weird pumpkins. However, I can see wood, and wood means potential. It can be transformed into most anything. Since I mentioned a repurposed antique sign, that's where I'm headed. To keep it simple, I'm basically taking these bits and using them in a different form. In order to do that I bring a thrifted wood frame I scored a back a few months ago. It has a bit of damage, so I am updating it with a metallic English brown paint.

NEXT STEPS

Next, after my painting fun, I cut a piece of luan to mount my newly created decor. To install it, I use my point driver to tack the panel into the frame.

You did a great job. I was wondering what you were going to do with the pumpkins, but then I figured out that the words are on those pieces.

You are amazing. The way you take things and turn them into something completely different highlights how smart and creative you are. I am not surprised that it already sold.
