  1. I love the idea of re-purposing items, the shutter side table is very inspiring as well as the window/coat rack, I need to develop those kinds of eyes to see the potential, very cool!

    You’ve made some beautiful things out of stuff that others would throw away. I too love the little table made from shutters, I would never have thought of that.

    I love the upcycled key hanger! Not too sure about the luggage medicine cabinet – wouldn’t it be too heavy for the wall? I’d be afraid it would rip out from the wall and fall!

  4. I like the idea of the repurposed vintage old window. I think this would be nice in my front entrance.

  5. These are such great ideas! I love digging around at flea markets and thrift shops. I would much rather buy something older, with character, and fix it up than buy something new.

  6. That SUITCASE Medicine cabinet is INSANE!! What a BRILLIANT idea! I have so many suitcases that aren’t being used, but I’m too “attached” to get rid of them. How about if we need it for a big trip, how about if we need to it store stuff? But Now I can repurpose it for something in the home. That is so clever!
