Creative Repurposing!

Here are a few creative ways to repurpose some household items. I will be adding more, so stay tuned!

Dressers
Old wooden dressers and bureaus make great linen or dish storage. Just sand down the wood and paint them the color of your choice. Add some new hardware and they can make a great accent piece.

Appliances
Use wallpaper to cover an old rusty fridge or appliance. Use rubber cement to adhere it. Or use large stickers to cover over a spot or too. If you don’t want to get too fancy, there is always appliance paint.

Over-the-door shoe racks
Convert the over-the-door shoe rack into extra bathroom, art supply or toy storage. They also work well in a hall closet for hats, gloves and items you take with you when you leave the house.

Greeting Cards
Save the cards you have received this year for use next year by cutting them up to use as gift tags or package decorations. Or check online for charities that can reuse the fronts of cards and donate them to a worthy cause.
