Repurposed Furniture & Décor
Repurposing furniture is all the craze these days. At least it is to me! Repurposing is just that… giving a new purpose or use to (in this case) a piece of furniture or household item. I subscribe to several magazines including Ready Made and Better Homes and Garden’s DIY magazine and there is rarely an issue without a repurposing feature in it.
Getting inspiration from reading books, magazines, blogs, and other online material has allowed me to think and re-think before I throw something away. Often times if a friend is throwing an old piece of furniture away, I’ll take it…just in case… I can find a way to update it or turn it into something else. You never know!
Martha, Martha, Martha! If you couldn’t tell already, I heart Martha Stewart! She is the Goddess of all things domestic, so of course she has some awesome reporposing DIY projects. Check out these fabulous, yet simple repurposing ideas from Martha. They are easy eco-friendly solutions for unwanted or broken furniture.
Basket turned Table
Garden Shed Crate turned Cabinets
Broken Table turned Table Console
Benches turned Stacked Shelf
Stepladder turned Night Stand
Budget Saving Tip: An alternative to the garden shed crates turned cabinets, is to use wooden wine crates. Most spirit and liquor specialty stores will give them away for free if you just ask! They will be broken down and thrown away later anyway!
