Amy from Joyful Daisy has seen and made many different magnet boards but simply couldn’t wait to make another when she saw the round ones featured at The Land of Nod. Not only was Amy able to customize her magnet board with pretty fabric, ribbon, and a monogram but she saved a whopping 80% since she only had to purchase the pizza pan and the grosgrain ribbon. Even if you had to buy a small piece of fabric, this is a project that definitely wouldn’t break the bank!

I love me some chevron, so it’s no wonder the design of this table built by Paula at Sweet Pea and her hubby caught my eye. The slanted shelves mimic the look of chevron and also keep books and magazines nice and tidy. You can’t beat stylish AND functional! Would you believe it only cost the couple $30 to build?

Tami of Curb Alert is a pro at taking trash and turning it into treasure. She had found a bright orange plastic clam shell at the Goodwill. Sure, it made a great chip bowl for her luau, but it wasn’t décor Tami would want displayed on her table everyday. At least not until she took it from tacky to classy with a can of stone texture spray paint!

Abby at Just a Girl and Her Blog recently came upon some colorful coasters at Anthropologie that she absolutely loved and immediately thought, “I can make those!” With some plywood, washi tape, and a little bit of paint, Abby easily created her own coasters that are really similar to the original– and they were free since she had the supplies on hand. I love when even a coaster can add some serious style to your space!

Stephanie of Simply Swider has been whipping her entryway into shape with an industrial chic makeover. A distressed wood and metal console table? Yes, please! A $695 price tag? Um, no… And why would you pay that much when you can build your own console from leftover butcher block and conduit piping – for under $50!
