1 thing I really like to perform in the start of a new year is wash from the old and bring in the new. 1 way to do this with no unsuccessful or spending money is to earn things you have fresh to you. Move furniture around, give it a brand new paint job, or give it an entirely new function. Have a look at these smart members have changed up, then study your possessions with fresh eyes.

We have seen wooden ladders all over the house, hanging from chains to become patinaed potracks and changed into towel racks when propped against a wall. Aged paint splatters add to their appeal.
Also repurposed in this room: A burlap bag from France is now chair upholstery about the armchair.
Thomas Wold
Thomas Wold has some sort of greater calling in regards to repurposing; his work is some of the very clever, trendy, original and functional I’ve seen up to now. This secretary desk is an assemblage of lost shelves, cabinets and boxes.

This is among my all-time favorite repurposing jobs. Those magnificent rusty and crusty oversized pendant lights have been propane tanks in a former life.

A former ski lift cable has a brand new life as a smart railing in Colorado. It’s fun to recognize that a familiar object in this way in an unexpected location.

Don’t tell Gidget, however, someone else has swiped a potential vintage bag dog mattress and transformed it into a quirky bedside table.
