A Repurposeful Tuesday?  What is the world coming to?!

Upcycled wall art has been on my little mind for quite a while.
The only way to purge it?  Well, post it, of course.

This photo is Repurposeful Perfection - the refinished
old cabinet doors are utterly beautiful.  Simple and elegant.

This is a perfect example of a clever piece of art - reusing distressed
boards with a play on words, accenting the antique hay rake.

Sorry the picture is blurry but you get the idea - a pack of antique
playing cards was mounted inside an old window and trimmed out
with a vintage tape measure.  Ingenious!


Who says wall art can't be useful?  This old window, coupled
with a piece of chicken wire, makes the perfect message board.

A piece of salvaged cabinetry and an old board showcase pieces
of a family's antique dinnerware and cutlery.  Charming.

The door from a vintage Jeep is waiting to be hung in a Man Cave.  Imagine
the conversations this piece will generate.  Isn't that what art is all about?

Wall art can spark fond memories - this is the grill
of an old Volvo framed with antique barn wood.


Tip:  Surprise your spouse with a unique one-of-a-kind gift.
Go to a salvage car yard and look for a grill, steering wheel
or door like the kind from your love's first car.

Don't you love the simple cedar shingle board?



Whether painted or left natural, antique tin tiles are beautiful.

A perfect example of how sophistication can be simple:

Antique mirrors provide a patina that can't be
duplicated in any other type of art.

If you're considering a purchase of a wall hanging for your home,
take a risk and step outside the box with repurposing.
After all, normal is so over rated!
