Upcycled Gift Guide

This year I'm struggling to find gifts that I can afford, are fabulous, & with just the right touch of creativity and originality so my friends and family will know I put some thought into their gift. One day I found myself junk shopping and came across this wonderful wicker piece that would be great in my sister's sunroom.

I found THIS
{wicker settee}

It had been weathered & needed some stain.
Price was right at $15

I used some leftover MINWAX I had in the garage. Cost $0

It looked a bit rough..but in my head..
I was seeing THIS...

Now with all the staining and varnishing complete,
I am on the hunt for some nice,
inexpensive material for the cushions.

it's how to relax & enjoy
the blessings I've been given
