Monday's Repurposing Riddles
Riddle #1 - Guess where this darling, petite apartment is located:
Here's a clue:
That's right - the photos are of a repurposed caboose!
A very smart developer came up with the idea to turn old cabooses into
'tail gate train apartments' for the University of South Carolina alumni.
With train tracks located just off campus and close to the Williams-Brice
Stadium, fans can hang out before the game in comfort and style.
Riddle #2 - Obviously, the home below is housed in
a commercial building. But what type of building?

into clothes hanging space. Darling!

cabinet into a clothes press for the nursery.

islands by adding sinks to them but this one was left in its
original state and later can be used elsewhere.
What a lovely image with which to end today's post. Have a great Monday!
