That’s Pinteresting! Repurposing with a Purpose

by / Wednesday, 04 July 2012 / Published in INSPIRATION STATION

Happy 4th of July! I hope everyone is enjoying this time with their family while staying cool!

Have you ever seen the endless ways you can reuse an old door on Pinterest? There’s everything from a door as a dining room table to a corner bookshelf. Many flea markets bring in elements or furniture that appears to have seen better days. Beams and windows are commonly excavated from warehouses or homes and then used again in a modern, sleek way. I’m bringing you a few of my favorite repurposed furniture ideas. It just might make you want to head to your nearest flea market this weekend and get creative!

This rustic door lends to the romantic and almost country feel of the bedroom. Too neutral? Paint the door any color to add that extra pop against the wall.

Just imagine what this bench probably looked like before! It was most likely a darker color. A little paint can go a long way!

The lights and stools in this kitchen were taken from an old warehouse. Talk about a conversation piece!

I have seen many DIY projects regarding windows. This one encompasses a few as it serves as a picture frame, message board, and a shelf.

This is an island made from pallets. It can’t get more creative or innovative than this!
