Today's Repurposeful Monday is all about finding extra storage
space in unexpected places.
Vintage thrift shop dressers are relatively
affordable and provide tons of room for storage:

Storage and organization go hand-in-hand:
A recent study showed that being disorganized was
a major cause of stress. That's easy to take care of:
Don't be so quick to toss those small breath mint tins into the
recycle bin. They make great little organizational cubbies:
Keeping game and toy parts organized can be a challenge.
Dedicate a yard sale end table for holding specific toys pieces:

Aren't the Lego drawer pulls clever?
You want a cool, eclectic coffee table, right?
And you want extra storage space, right?

Put your collection to work, using
it for hiding treasures from view:
Ladders are also great for repurposing into
extra storage and displace shelves:

I love the towel rack, too!
And what's cooler than locker storage?

Leaving the lockers in their original rustic state
gives off an intriguing masculine vibe. Interesting.

Possibly the coolest bookcase you'll see today:

Let's not forget that old commercial lockers often contained metal baskets:

Simply gorgeous. Sigh.
Have an awesome Monday. It's the last one of the year!
Cool ideas! Thanks for sharing. We are trying to get things put away and organized here. It is a great way to begin the new year!
ReplyDeleteI love organization tips. Most of us spend a lot of time thinking of ways to save money but saving time is just as important. It's something we can't replace! I hope you and your loved ones have a wonderful New Year, Jan
Deletesuch an amazing assortment of storage ideas, what inspiration! Happy New Year to you!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stopping by. Repurposeful Mondays are some of my favorite posts to create. Hope you have very safe and Happy New Year, too! -- Jan
DeleteThose are really amazing and practical. I've been accused of being organized to a fault. But you are so right, it cuts the stress out of living. In fact yesterday I made an inventory of my pantry, and today clean all the shelves, took things that accumulated during the holidays to the garage.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stopping by...I really enjoyed your comment on the Laundry.
Happy New Year. Going to save your blog...I will be a regular.
I'm an organizational addict which is good since I'm also a semi-hoarder! Books, craft supplies, and china are my weaknesses but they're such harmless weaknesses! Have a wonderful New Year, Jan
DeleteGreat Ideas for organizing, Jan! Love the ladder in the kitchen. I might steal that idea... Happy New Year! xo Karen
