Yeah yeah yeah we’ve all seen images of ladders used for magazines, as a bookshelf, and for towels in the bathroom. These ideas are fairly new to me so hoping one will at least be new to you. Using ready made shelves of wood across makes for some neat pantry styled storage…
I love this idea for a closet…
Using them for shoes is excellent! It maximizes vertical space, takes up minimal room and reminds me of using ledges and molding…

Or you can simple use a lucite dining table…in the middle of the living room as a way to get work done. Sometimes desks are big enough for what we need to do. Some of us like things to spread out all around us to spark creativity. It’s a method to one’s madness so feel free to use a table that’s suitable for your needs despite the table’s intended purpose. See here how a guy makes his dining table double as his home workspace & see here how a room intended for dining got transformed into a home office…
When I came across this image in Rue magazine, I was stuck on the door knockers as drawer handles. I thought this was a cool way to repurpose something and give new life into something old. Painting it a popping vibrant hue doesn’t hurt.

Here’s some inspiration on how to set those tablescapes & decorate for this weekend’s shindigis. Figured I’d post the Saturday Sunday Shindig today so you can get any last minute things if you need to in advance. If you don’t have a bar cart but have a baby or know someone who does, maybe borrow their changing table and see how you can convert it into a beverage station HERE. It’s all about repurposing what you already own. Signature drinks are the best because you can make pitchers of it and have glasses already filled versus standing around a blender all evening. It allows you time to mingle and actually ENJOY your guests. Imagine Design Blog always has cocktail recipes you can try…

Love the classic plaids up and through the place setting…
Set your walkway a glow with candles…and check out that brick. Love it…

Spray painting fallen branches is virtually free and brings that nature element into the space…
So those of you that are parents, don’t toss that crib out when your child outgrows it. Get more bang for your buck and turn it into a desk. Genius.

Sometimes you’re shopping for that special artwork that has all the colors you crave…..and you come up short. Well paintings and mirrors aren’t the only things you can frame and hang up. HERE I talked about framing fabric but you ever think about those unworn scarves or bandanas? Below is a framed Emilio Pucci scarf. Look how much color it brings to the space. It’s a perfect way to REPURPOSE something you no longer wear. Happy framing…
