Seeing what some people do with their imagination can be fascinating, especially when imagination is used to solve a problem. Imagination is especially awesome when it is used to give new life and purpose to furniture rather than sending it to the landfill.
Old dressers are a great example. They have been repurposed into benches, vanities, pet stations, kitchen islands, and children’s kitchen centers. Some drawers have found new life as foot stools, under-the-bed storage bins with wheels, and wall storage or display centers.
Excellent examples of re-purposed furniture are all over the Internet. There are even websites and social media accounts dedicated to giving old things new life. Here are just a few examples:
• For Creative Juice shared a blog post called “Awesome DIY Furniture Makeover Ideas: Genius Ways To Repurpose Old Furniture With Lots Of Tutorials”
• Re-Scape is a Facebook page full of inspiration, and the pages liked on their page have great ideas too.
• IKEA Hackers focuses less on re-purposing older furniture, and more on innovative ways to use and customize IKEA furniture.
For more inspiration, search Google for the specific article of furniture you’d like to transform (i.e., dresser or furniture) and then click on the Images tab to see what people have done to upgrade their items.
For video how-to’s on these (and practically any subject or hobby) do a search on YouTube.
Will you transform any furniture this summer?
