Radiators Upcycled Repurposed Recycled Reused Treasures

Hi, and Welcome to LilacsNDreams! Old radiators can serve as both functional, and decorative purposes too. Besides the known use you can also repurpose them into some unique furniture pieces like tables and chairs, benches, coffee table, entryway table, or they can be recycled for their valuable metal content. They could be used outside in the yard, in your garden, on the porch, etc. Many different ways of using them besides getting rid of them.

In older homes you will sometimes see the old radiators, and you wonder why, or what do I do with them? You know when I was younger I use to despise them, and thought them dumb and useless. Now that I am older…LOL! I realize they were good use for back in their time, some people still use them, many will throw them, and then there are others who will find a use for them. The love of creating by using something old, and giving new life for a new use. 

In most homes today they do not work anymore. So, they just sit there, or are sometimes removed too. So, for those who keep them in their home, what could they possibly do with them to fit with more of the modern times of today. Some will put a top on 2 taller ones making a table for family, and friends to sit. People have covered them right where they sit with some kind of top, and maybe some kind of design cover around the base of it. Consider making a bookcase over them, and they can be painted too. Honestly, when you really think about it the possibilities are endless. 

All of these are some ideas shared on Pinterest. They are not my pictures. Other pictures I seen how you could make a little stove with it, some sort of fireplace, and so on. Just a lot of possibilities.

This picture was on Pinterest James Morris that I was able to trace back to dgtaylorcarpentry on instagram. 

Who would have guessed, right? I never thought of redoing radiators into something creative myself. I enjoy seeing, and sharing new life given to old pieces making them new, and modern for use today. Being creative is fun, and becomes uniquely yours. 

Something to think about, right? Hope you enjoyed the visit, and sharing some ideas with you today. As always the possibilities are there. 

Thanks so much for sharing your time with LilacsNDreams! See you all again soon!
