Repurposing

I try to be more aware of the things that get thrown away around here.

I like to repupose things, to see what else they can become.

Give them another life if you will.

I know I’ve shown my sewing room before. 

But since Donna’s themed link up for this week’s SNS is repurposing.

So, I thought I’d point out a few thing of the things I’ve done in here.

(look, more trim to paint. will it ever end?)

The table was put together with some new wood for the base 

but the top is one of the flat paneled doors that we are replacing in the house.

 All that was needed was to add a bit of trim.

I left the doorknob hole for the cord to go through.
You can see how it was put together here.

The memo board was an old window frame. 

I just added some chicken wire for one side and some foam board covered in burlap for the other. 

You can see how I put it together here.

The ribbon holder was just an old shelf I had picked up at an estate sale.

I added some old jars with some plumbing straps. 

They make great holders for brushes, scissors or a jute dispenser.

Jars are great for holding a lot of things. 

Here I just replaced the top insert with some fabric and stuffing and it’s now a handy pincushion.

I picked these quilt pieces up from ebay the other day.

I’ve been hanging out there looking for some vintage quilts.

I haven’t had any luck winning any big quilts but I did get these pieces.

They are waiting for some repurposing of their own.

What have you repurposed lately?
