Everyone has that old chair or cluttered sitting room corner that you know could be turned into something great, but what? There are many ways to go about repurposing unused items into awesome assets in your home! Looking for some advice on repurposing old and forgotten items? Read on for a few tips and ideas!
- Ladies know that keeping jewelry from getting tangled is next to impossible. Head into the garage to see if there is an old metal rake head lying around, and repurpose it as a jewelry hanger. Take off the handle and hang the rake head on the wall for a rustic, unique holder for necklaces, bracelets, etc.
- Remember that old game Twister? If you no longer use it (or even if you do), why not bring it out for a dinner party as a…tablecloth! Repurpose the childhood game into a bright and fun party accessory.
- Summer is right around the corner and that means summer food! Next time you are having trouble cleaning that corn on the cob, head into the bathroom for an old toothbrush. The bristles easily remove pesky threads of silk from freshly shucked corn.
- Some homes have high ceilings and a lot of unused upper wall space. Use that empty space to create a home library for a comfortable, calming feel. Add some shelves and fill them with your favorite novels.
- A great idea for kids is a chalkboard coffee table. Simply add a chalkboard to the surface of a table for a great play space for kids, and a unique space for coffee.
