Upcycling something old into something practical and functional for our family is one of my favourite things to do. Repurposing a beat up piece of wood or transforming a piece of furniture into something beautiful is heaps of fun, and it's budget friendly too.
Here are some ideas to get your started:
These shutters are often found in council clean ups or at salvage yards. Paint it a retro colour and you have a great system for sorting your mail. From Apartment Therapy.
It's rustic and such a clever use of space. Love this idea! Check it out on Apartment Therapy.
This hanging rack is made from an old cot/crib. The side of a cot can be used for hanging so many things - such as fabrics, neck ties, scarves, and towels. From The Art of the Rs.
A clever way to repurpose a skateboard into a shelf from Home to Life.

If you're drowning in kids artwork like we are then this could be the solution for you. A couple of months ago my husband and I made this kids art display using a salvaged piece of wood and some metal letter clips. For instructions see Art Display.
Have a great week everyone!
Lovely! Your top image inspired me a LOT! I have two of those louvered doors looking for a home and I think I will give them a quick coat of spray paint, add a hanger and use them to display xmas cards this year
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Great idea! My daughter has just had a birthday and she likes to keep her birthday cards around for a while. One of these louvered doors would be great for them (much better than piles of them on the floor!).
DeleteYES! actually, I'm going to spray them a good colour that can be used for xmas and my boys birthday! They too like to keep their cards for ages.

Hope you have a great day!
