I'm feeling a little nautical on this Repurposeful Monday.

Woo Home

What a clever idea - the top portion of an old wood

boat was cut off and is being used as a door frame.

A 1940s boat light was mounted on an antique

tripod to create an industrial-style floor lamp.

An old boat was used as a floating flower bed.

Used boat cleats mounted on weathered wood make a charming coat hook:

Green Home offers shower curtains made from recycled sailcloth from America's Cup boats.  The sails are also used to make bean-bag beds and tote bags.  

A small skiff makes an efficient cooler and party bar.

What a darling sand box!

Home DIT recently posted several intriguing uses for discarded canoes:

Vintage canoes make great herb gardens.

This might be one of the most beautiful lodge light

fixtures I've ever seen.  And quite expensive, I'm sure.

Before closing today I'd like to apologize - on Friday I forgot to post a reminder of the time change.  I hope that yesterday you weren't saying, "I'm late, I'm late!  For a very important date!"
