I really enjoyed writing The Upcycled Garden blog post I did last year so I thought I'd
do another one (or two) of them this year. Before you know it spring will be upon us
(hopefully sooner rather than later!) so why not get those gears turning and think about
what creative ways you can use and display unique items in your yard and garden
this summer? Take a look at this collection and let me know what you think!

DeleteI love the wreath bird bath and the last shot of the cello. Very pretty ideas!
ReplyDeleteI thought the birdbath was a cute idea. Would make a nice gift for a gardener.
DeleteI've seen a lot of posts like this, but yours is SO extensive — and charming!
ReplyDeleteI've been holding on to 3 large coffee cans, thinking of creating the hanging up-side-down system for spices. This renews my enthusiasm for the idea.
Screen doors have always made me feel nostalgic, in a very pleasant way. I'll find a way to remember this idea for when I own a house + yard. :)
The choice of a bourbon bottle for the bird-feeder is hilarious. I would giggle whenever I saw a bird come back for a 'drink'...
Glad you liked the post. I thought the bottle was funny too! And I feel the same way about the screen doors. They just scream nostalgia!
Deletewow, these are great ideas. What a wonderful list. I really liked the hose idea, the car-chicken house and the bycicle lawnmower! thanks.

DeleteI use old glass insulators mounted on long nails (8"-10") stuck into ground as garden hose guides. The insulators spin on the nails as I pull my hoses by.
ReplyDeleteThat's neat!

DeleteThanks for the inpsirations. Loved all of them.
ReplyDeleteGreat! Glad you enjoyed the post!
Deletei would be interested to know how you did the embedded tea cups. do you plan on posting any how to's with these items? if not on here would you mind emailing me the how to? it's amandacomplete@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteSorry, there is no DIY to go with that image. You probably could use regular mosaic supplies, and your adhesive would have to be one that goes with whatever material your base is made from. Would not plant directly in the cups either. Over time, moisture would probably pull the adhesive from the base if this were to get wet.
DeleteSo many great project. I am totally jealous!
ReplyDeletePerfect timing.. I am looking at ideas to put outside a window to hide the veiw of the garage.. The old door will be perfect.. plant some cannas etc.. DOne.. THANKS !
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this post. I see do many projects that I want to try. Thank you do much for sharing these eith me today.
ReplyDeleteSmiles,

Saw this on Pinterest -- the bird feeder. I NEVER repin until I see the source and found all your ideas charming. The tin cans - GREAT for those large tomato sauce cans I am currently using (until I get my own tomatoes for sauce grown!) for herbs! Thanks for gathering these together.
