March has arrived!

Did you have a good weekend?  I hope so.  And I hope you enjoy
these clever repurposing ideas that I want to share with you today.


If you're short on garden space consider
using a ladder to hold potted herbs:


A colander makes a wonderful hanging
basket and provides lots of drainage:


What charming bicycle baskets:




A wrought iron headboard serves
as a timeless trellis.


An old chair that is beyond salvaging
might just be ready for the garden!



A wine bottle makes a
great bird seed dispenser:




A vintage commercial scale and an
old tin can make the perfect perch.


Looking for a different kind
of food bowl station?

A wood soda crate provides a
stable platform for your pets.


Plant urns are just the right
height for outdoor water bowls:
Front Gate



How charming are these dinnerware sets
repurposed into hors d'oeuvre caddies?
High Tea for Alice



A vintage galvanized 7-Up cooler was
repurposed into a darling bathroom sink.


I adore this towel storage idea:
Decorating Files


It's hard to find an unusual laundry basket . . .
DIY Inspired
. . . but these vintage screens bolted together
and mounted on casters make a charming one.




A vintage film projector was handily
turned into a table lamp.


Rustic C-clamps make terrific bookends:
This Old House


It won't be long 'til Winter is finally
over and we'll be thinking, "Picnic!"
Pack a picnic salad to-go in a mason jar.

Today we saw some interesting outdoor and indoor
repurposing ideas.  Hope you were inspired!
