Goodwill $5.00 Challenge

Spring is knocking at our back door and ready to come in!  With that being said, I have been wanting to spruce up my back porch.  I love this area in my home.  It is the place where I go to relax and enjoy the spring weather.  Needless to say, after a long winter it is time for a “refresh” on the back porch.  

Hilary from the youtube channel My-So-Called Home initiated a spring inspired $5.00 Goodwill challenge.  With this challenge you basically have to go to Goodwill and shop spring items for your home.  The catch is that you cannot spend more than $5.00!  Well I was up for the challenge!  See all my finds and how they look in my home in the video below.  Hope you enjoy!

Enjoy the video!

So in the video I do share with you some fun diy projects that I have going on currently.  Below is one of my finds that I feature in the video along with showing you how I transformed this into a outdoor candle lantern.

You may also notice in the video that I recovered my outdoor ottoman with new fabric.  I love the new look!  Initially I was wanting to go with one of the four options below, but when I got to the fabric store I fell in love with the one I chose.

  3. Nikki! Eeeekkk I am so excited, you did a great job! I love that challenge. I might challenge myself to do the same thing. Also I just can’t believe it but for the last 8 years my husband and I owned the very same desk ( looks just like it)… I kid you not! He bought it at a yard sale for $50.00 ( it had been donated to the fundraiser yard sale from a banker) and we in turn when done with it donated it to Goodwill. I wonder if you bought ours here it was here NC! LOL
    It will be a great DIY project!
