Routine is such a comforting thing.  I'm so glad

we're back to another Repurposeful Monday.

Let's begin with a few Winter repurposing ideas.

Ever heard of Ice Marbles?!

Simply fill balloons with colored water, leave

them outside in the snow, peel off the balloons

24 hrs later and - bam! - you've got Ice Marbles!

Giving a friend a bottle of wine to celebrate a special event?

You know what to do - use the arms of a sweater to wrap the bottle.

Well, since you've removed the sleeves of the

sweater you might as well use the rest of it:

Have any long-sleeve shirts that you or hubby no longer wear?

They make great pillows, especially the flannel ones.

I love these vintage snow shoes:

Storage and Glee

They make charming organizers, don't they?

Speaking of organizing . . . . 

Recyclart

Glue keyboard keys onto a tin can to

make an interesting pencil holder.

Even small cans can be repurposed:

Belle Maison


Use your  magnets on an old cookie sheet:

BHG

Soda crates are great for storing fragile
stemware as well as staying organized:

 Simply Salvaged

Not only is this drawer a darling organizational

idea, it's also great for serving:

The Old Painted Cottage
And the little 'feet' are glass drawer knobs!


These old drawers were turned into shadow boxes:

52 Flea


Want one of these?

Napa Style
Go to Tractor Supply and buy a galvanized wash tub, mount it on legs
from Lowes then paint it.  You might want to wallpaper the interior, too.


Silver plated trays are still fairly affordable at thrift shops:

My Heart's Song

Isn't this a clever coat hanger idea?

I Love That Junk
Old cement trowels mounted on distressed
barn wood make a rustic coat hanger.


Don't throw out those old paint brushes:

Pretty Handy Girl

Use them as cabinet door handles
in your studio or craft room.

Do you have any vintage yard sticks and Legos?

Home Talk
This proves that you can pair just about
ant combination of collectibles.


What looks like a birdhouse made from old text books
is actually a bedside stand to hold your book!
Dishfunctional Designs


But it won't be long 'til it's time to
get the birdhouses ready for Spring:

Home Talk
This is a great use of old ladders.  
Can cats climb ladders?!

How cool is this unique birdhouse?
     
Gadget Sponge has the most creative ideas.


This birdfeeder was made from found objects including old license
plates, a silver plated serving lid and a vintage potato masher:

Junk Market Style

Wow - look at the high gloss paint
job on this pallet coffee table:

Believe it or not, this sophisticated ottoman is actually a
pallet covered in foam, upholstered, then legs were added:

Beautiful!



Stars For Streetlights
Old suitcases are so versatile, aren't they?

This old suitcase was mounted on a salvaged table pedestal:

Tattered Elegance

Over the years I've shown you some really cute suitcases
turned into pet beds but this is one of the cutest:

Architecture Art Designs


Let's close out this Repurposeful Monday in the Kitchen.

Ever thought about making your own Steampunk kitchen sculpture?

Anthropologie

Blue Moss Girl


And what can you do with an outdated clock and a pot lid?

Make one of the coolest clocks ever!
