This site is still fairly new, but it already has a pretty cool list of neat projects. Site owner Nancy Roebke (the Frugal Decorating Diva) likes to "re-purpose" things (well, "junk"!) into other things (treasures!) She tells you how to find worthwhile junk at low prices (she's frugal, remember!) and how to turn it into something cool. An example, you ask? Sure: take a canvas camp stool plus a deep frame and make a really cool table. There's also a blog with even more projects, and a free newsletter. And it's all frugal -- by design!
