This piece was displayed at The Art Institute of Chicago:
I don't know if that is the artist or a bemused tourist.
A 1953 VW Beetle was transformed into A Sphere:
It makes me sad that a beautiful vintage Beetle was sacrificed
for art. Why couldn't the artist have used a Yugo?
Sun Shines In The Rusty Morning by Anya Gallaccio:
That's right - it's a pile of bricks.
What is the piece below saying?
I'd rather regurgitate worms than view art?!
Pietro Ruffo's The Chinese Empire:
(It's a pile of empty boxes that once
held merchandise from China.)

What appears to be a leather jacket is
actually one piece of carved wood:

(Including the hanger and the wallet sticking out of the pocket!)
When I first viewed the next two paintings,
I thought, "I could do that!"
Pablo Picasso's First Communion, 1896:
Beautiful.
Pablo Picasso's Olga, 1923:
Stunning.
Pablo Picasso's A Dream, 1932:
What the heck happened to him?!
(No kidding.)
Paint-By-Numbers art from the 1960's has become
highly collectible. Who'd have thought?

Decorators and designers are encouraging their clients
to 'mix it up' when it comes to displaying art:
Yes, it certainly is.

The last Repurposeful Monday of 2015? Sad. But inspiring!
Anything recovered in a burlap
coffee bean bag looks fabulous.
I love this recovered bench:
And speaking of benches, this coffee
table was cut in half:
. . . . to create two benches for the mud room:
A vintage Coca-Cola cooler was used
to make a charming bathroom vanity:
You don't have to go big when repurposing -
little upcycle ideas are great, too:
A dishwasher scrabble sign - brilliant!
Adorable personalized family photo. . . . .
. . . . . of unique pendants:
Yes, Scrabble tiles are crafty and versatile . . . .
. . . . even in the garden!
It's hard to toss out Christmas cards you've received from
family and friends. Turn them into next year's gift tags:
Add a few extra trinkets to give your
gift tags a mixed-media look.
Click here for a tutorial on how to make this lovely
Victorian-inspired decoration that was created from cards.
If you give books as holiday gifts, make your own
bookmarks from repurposed Christmas cards:
Sorry today's Repurposeful Monday is a little sparse. The
house is suffering from Holiday Havoc and needs a very
thorough cleaning. I'd rather be bloggin' but I'd better get busy.
