Repurposing Dressers and Things From Home. How Cool is this?! Just in case you haven't noticed, I just love things that have been repurposed, and upcycled! The things you can do, the creativeness, preserving of what we already have, and the money that we can save too. Wow! What transformations that can be done.
Apologizing real quickly to ya'll. I know, I know...falling a bit behind here today, and this post was not early morning ready like I usually schedule. Bear with me please. Just time of year, slacking off a bit, and some long term ongoing health stuff too. Not to worry, still here, just a bit slower lately.
I love to go into Google, or even Bing and Yahoo to research about repurposing, and upcycling different items. Sometimes I get my own ideas from seeing what others have done, or it actually makes me look at items in my home in a different way. Oh, yeah, when I go out thrifting my head swarms with all the yummy things I find, and also with all the possibilities that some pieces hold too. Sometimes it does take much at all to transform a piece. A lil bit of cutting, a lil bit of gluing, a lil bit of paint, maybe adding this to that, and endless fun possibilities to dress our homes with.
Do you have a big project that you have worked on lately? Maybe you have something special that you have done, and are willing to share with all of us here. Would love to hear from you, and have you share with us. Don't forget that you can find some creative pieces at Artfire, and also with Etsy too. Also, you can find some things with Ecrater as well. Now, time for me to get back to picture taking, and working on some gluing pieces of my own today. Wish Me luck!:)

Such cool ideas.The crib is sweet with the chalkboard tabletop. Love the idea of turning something not needed as originally designed into something useful and functional in a newer original style. People can be so clever.
ReplyDeleteI know! Some of the things people do is so amazing, and I just love it! Almost addictive looking through the internet at such things as pinning on Pinterest:-) I have seen quite a few people comment on using the chalk paint...bit more spendy, but no priming, and it takes right away, and they have had good results with it as well.
ReplyDeleteMy husband scratches his head trying to understand why I am hanging onto some of the dressers I have. I have ideas, but they will come to me more definitely in time, and will be very good organizers for me to use too!
Thanks for visiting Victoria, and have a wonderful evening!:)
