Hey Besties, 🌟


Guess what? I stumbled upon the cutest, most rustic-chic treasure ever, and I just have to share it with you! Picture this: an old, lovingly worn board game transforming into the most charming wall art you've ever seen. 🎨🌿

So, here's the backstory. A few years ago, during our annual family yard sale (you know, the one where we all get together and turn our lawn into a treasure hunter's paradise?), I wandered over to my neighbor's sale. He was moving and had his life's collection up for grabs. This neighbor, bless his heart, had been a fixture in the neighborhood forever, so you can imagine the gems he had!

Now, let me sidetrack for a second with our little yard sale tradition. Ever since that one year when my grandma's car decided to take a little break (literally!), and my husband and I dashed off to rescue her during our sale, we've made it a thing to peek at other yard sales. That time, we found this epic roll of Christmas wrapping paper - a never-ending story of festive cheer for just $5! Note to self: I must do a whole post on that magical roll!

Back to the board game - it's got this perfectly played-in look like it's been part of a million family game nights, which only adds to its charm. It's vibrant yet fits so cozily into our living room decor. When we first moved into our log home (yes, very few drywall moments here!), I hung it up against a white-painted wall, and let me tell you, it's been a conversation starter ever since!

And oh, if you look closely, you'll see it's sharing wall space with my wooden pineapple piece - another story for another day!

So, besties, what about you? What are some of your favorite thrifty art finds? I'm all ears and can't wait to hear about your adventures in upcycling and home decor!

Stay inspired and keep turning the ordinary into extraordinary! 🌍✨🖼️
