Making a Wooden Chess Set 🛠️ One of the joys of doing all my upcycling and DIY projects is that I get to work with lots of beautiful materials and I love keeping any leftover pieces just in case. I had some scrap wood and leftover wood veneer in my studio, so I made my son Dusty a chess set for his 7th birthday! He is obsessed with maths (definitely does not get that from me) and the strategy of playing chess (definitely me), and I thought it would be a super cute idea to give him something h...
a wooden chess board with black and white pieces on it, surrounded by ice flakes
DIY Wooden Chess Set 🛠️♟️ I had so much fun making my Upcyclecd Marquety Lamp project last week, but I did realise it was a little ambitious, especially if you’re new to this technique.

an open room divider with abstract paintings on the wall and wood flooring in front of it
It’s the weekend! ♻️ And that means it’s time to rummage for secondhand gems at your local charity shops, thrift stores, recycle centres and tip shop. And keep an eye for some unwanted furniture on the side of the road, of course! You might just find something that’s perfect or needs a little TLC, like this room divider I upcycled a couple of weeks ago ♥️
