As Monday was Labor Day and I lollygagged yesterday, guess
we'd better get back on schedule with some Repurposing today.

And what greater usefulness can we receive than from
repurposed space?

A dormer window is the perfect spot for a charming reading nook.

I'm completely entranced by closets that have been repurposed.  Last year

I posted this photo and keep coming back to it for inspiration.  The painted

wood paneling adds an architectural interest to the room.

A closet was 'removed' and a display area was created.  Beautiful.

A foyer closet was converted into seating with storage.  A faux
window was created with ingenious lighting and a valance.

'Removing' a foyer closet completely changed the tone of this house.
The gold mirror is an exquisite touch as are the wall mounted candles.

While this closet space conversion is slightly claustrophobic,
I wanted you to see the overhead lighting screen which added a
custom touch.

An incredible amount of crafting space was organized into one closet.

Sometimes just removing the closet doors
gives a room a feeling of expanded space.

Little folks would enjoy a closet conversion, too.

And who doesn't want some elegant
privacy when having a diaper change?!

Have a bedroom that's rather boxy and boring?  Frame in the
end of the room, build a platform with storage underneath
and, voila, instant charm.

That same principal was applied in this gorgeous French country cabin:

Hydrangea Hill Cottage
Instead of framing in a nook it was simply partitioned off
with toile curtains.  The matching wallpaper also helps to
delineate the space from the rest of the room.

Who says a pantry can't also be a retreat?

Don't have a mud room but want one?  Create one!

Think an area of the house is too small to be functional?  Think again.

I hope today's post will give you some ideas on converting
spaces in your home for other uses.  Thanks for stopping by!
