Once you see this…you are going to snatch up the first rolling pin you see…new or vintage…this is brilliant!
Over at Design*Sponge
(love this site)
they take a plain vintage dresser and turn it into this
incredible upcycled piece.
What do you do with old chippy light fixtures?
Candle holders of course.
These beauties are creations from
you will find this awesome rolling pin rack! This is so incredibly clever…simple to make and will become an instant conversation piece. Thrift Stores BEWARE…your stock of rolling pins is going to roll right out the door.
How about this book birdhouse sculpture over at
Bet you are getting a bit of inspiration from this one!
Leave it to Design*Sponge
to come up with this
Secrete Storage Box…did you think you could upcycle a piece of art…well you can!
Drop by and get the DYI!
There is also a great tutorial on this upcycled artistic lampshade!
How cool would this look in a library? den? or how about using vintage music sheets…nursery rhymes…ENDLESS!!!
Is this old fencing I see over at BHG?
Yes it is…it has been upcycled into a great kitchen organization station…a place for everything to hang around on!
Hangers + Wall Paper =’s art!
Thank BHG for another great idea!
Here’s a worldly idea…unfortunately it did not come with a diy…but I thought if you want to …you can figure it out…by simply slicing the bottom…inserting the lighting fixtures and plug it in. It would also make an awesome lampshade. A world of possibilities!
Here is a little pinspiration for you…
by using an old window pane as the top of a boxed construction…add hinges and legs and viola…
over at Oh Glory Vintage!
Happen to have a few palettes? Well take a trip over to
and you will get the inspiration you need for a great outdoor
table…a perfect picnic for 2!
When you go to the garage sales or flea markets or even your thrift shops and you see old bed frames and headboards…just really think beyond it’s original use…there are simply amazing to create all kinds of other things and here is an example of yet another one from BHG
Are the ideas flowing in your mind as we speak?
If you remember from last time…I told you if you drive by a dresser with a pile of drawers as you are going to work…bringing the kids to school…going shopping…and you say oh I wish I could snatch that up and you know you can’t fit the dresser or piece of furniture in the car…slow down…turn around and put those drawers in the back of the hatchback or place them in your trunk…the uses for drawers is LIMITLESS…here is yet another great idea for floating drawers from Design*Sponge and I know you are going to love it!
Woman’s Dayshows you a great idea…take a drawer…add legs…how easy can you get!
How about taking a favorite book and creating a clutch!KittycanScratch
shows you how!
Do you have some old jewelry…did you happen to pick up a grab bag at the thrift shop with onesie earrings? Have you wanted to add just a little bling…a touch pizzaz to a piece of furniture or maybe a coat hanger rack…or…well
has a brilliant idea…add a piece to a knob and WOW!
Who knew? Take a bundt pan or cake pan …hit it with the power of paint…maybe a few holes for drainage…plant and add the umbrella right through the center hole…pretty brilliant!
Have an old vintage cookie or sewing tin? Well check it out…add a light fixture and there you have it!
Here’s another reason from whole living
to save those wine corks!
Well they say don’t cook with a wine you wouldn’t drink : )
What a great idea! There are many times you have an old watch that simply can not be repaired…well why not create a locket watch? Create a new memory. I love this idea.
Or you can just take the center piece and add a link and a chain to create a traditional locket.
Well there you have it!!! I am sure there will be a part 3 in our future soon! If you missed part one…here you go…
Have a great day and I will see you later with your
80’s fashion digital wardrobe collection!
