Today is a fun day. I'm sharing a thrift store DIY! I'm joining some friends (who are all linked at the bottom of the post!) to share our DIY upcycles from thrift store finds. If you're new here, you will quickly find out that I love taking things (anything really!) and transforming them into something amazing and new. That's why when I hit the thrift stores this month, I was totally bummed to be completely lacking inspiration. I went to FIVE thrift stores and came back empty handed (except for one simple spray paint project that you can see in my home tour next week!). So I took one final trip and found something that I knew would make the perfect DIY Wooden Spoon Rest - just in time for fall!

So this is the bowl I found. I was actually searching for a bowl bowl, and found this instead. It's a old soap dish, and it's even more perfect for this project. It's a little worn out, but still totally functional. Honestly, I probably could've just left it like this and used it as a spoon rest because of how shallow it was, but I really wanted the iconic dip at the edge and I was sure that I could add one easily.

I love this so much (also, I loooove these moody photos!!). I had my mom bring me back a couple Hearth & Hand spoon rests from Target because I couldn’t find just a simple one like this.
