Repurposing is one of the best ways to start the week.   So, let's get started.
 

Looking for a way to safely store treasures while you're away?


So clever!


Don't like the look of a paper towel dispenser?  Hide it under a shelf:
Amazon
Instead of buying a shelf at Amazon for $48 try making your own.



 
Another great use of a washing machine drum.
 


 
Magnetic strips glued to a particle board keep your bobbins organized. 
 


Dress up your office by turning odds-and-ends
pieces of vintage jewelry into magnets:


Just a Girl



Place Casters on old drawers and use them
under beds for extra storage.  Turn this:

 


into this:

 Dukes and Duchesses




A piano stool and a wheel from a vintage wheelchair can make a coffee table?!
                   This                               +                 This


equals:
Mamie Janes
Just top with a piece of thick cut and polished glass and voile - instant table.


The next time you run across an inexpensive trunk or foot
locker, consider turning it into a unique coffee table:

I Heart Nap Time



Old thrift store bundt pans are great bird feeders.  Doesn't
this old step ladder make a charming planter and bird bath?

Eclectically Vintage



Old Beds
  An old iron headboard makes a lovely gate.
Isn't this a beautiful scene?

Go out and make it a great Monday.  See you tomorrow.

  1. I love these ideas, especially the table. I have no room in my house now but I am working on the garden and that would make a good outdoor table as well as inside
