Thanks, Dot, for sending these along!
I think the bike as a sink is adorable but the upside down chair back is just down right creative!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm loving Grandma's 'valise,' Marty ... REALLY!
ReplyDeleteUmmm . . . I can't decide which of the first 5 I like best - they are all great!! If I had to pick, probably the books made into shelves - love old books and love shelves so . . .
ReplyDeleteYes, those old books are so wonderful, Dar ...
ReplyDeleteYeah ... I see the spam ... waiting for Blogger to load it up in the Published Comments page so I can clear it outta here.
ReplyDelete;-{
I'm applauding Blogger who picked up on the spam and got rid of it quickly!
ReplyDeleteI'd much rather hear from YOU, faithful readers!
;-}
The bicycle was amazing creative, but my practical side thought, can you imagine what a pain that would be to keep that clean?
ReplyDeleteI loved the wrench hooks, but can't imagine my husband parting with any of his!
And I loved those tennis rackets.
Elizabeth - my husband would KNOW I'd lost my mind if I even hinted that I'd want to 'repurpose' a single tool in his workshop!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I love the "book" shelves. As a librarian this is right up my alley. I have a lot of very old books and I was looking for an interesting way to display them!! Thanks!!!
ReplyDeleteVal - I'd love to hear/see how the finished project looks! FUN!
ReplyDeleteLove all of these, but the book shelves are my favorite! Seems like they'd be easy enough to make.
ReplyDeleteKeep us posted, Alison!
ReplyDeleteI think the tennis racket mirrors are adorable! The bicycle is pretty cool, but I don't think I could pull it off.
ReplyDeleteMight make looking in the mirror at o'dark thirty a little less painful!
ReplyDeleteso many clever ideas! i think i like that half of a chair used as a shelf the best! :)
ReplyDeleteThat one really threw me for a loop, Jennifer!
ReplyDelete;-}
These are all so inventive, it's difficult to choose one. But I think the wrenches speak to me -- being married to an ironworker! :)
ReplyDeleteYea, Nancy, these are a man's man coat racks for sure!
ReplyDeleteThose are all really fun! I think the wrenches and the tennis rackets are my favs, though. :)
ReplyDeleteThe books as shelves? Be still my heart. Love it. My grandmother had a suitcase just like that. My mama has it now.
ReplyDeleteHey, girls ... wrenches, rackets, and those books ... FUN! But I'm still loving that little suitcase ...
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lindsay, and Southern Gal for weighing in!
I really like the books for shelves, probably because I'm a bookworm.
ReplyDeleteYep, those books are the big draw, Renee, aren't they!
ReplyDeleteWOW! What stunning amazing projects! I'd have to say the one that jumped out at me the most was the bicycle holding up the sink but I totally LOVEd all of them. How unique! Stopped by from Studio JRU.
ReplyDeleteLove the bicycle! And the valise mirror. Great ideas!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Paula ... Studio JRU is such a lovely, supportive community. And ... got room in your bathroom for a bicycle?

Beth - FINALLY! Someone else who loves that little old valise!
ReplyDeleteLove them all but 3 actually say, "You could do this!" The book shelves--LOVE them; The valise--Great idea, been needing a cabinet and this is a great solution; and I like the light bulbs--wondering how to do that. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteIf you do the valise, Mary Ellen, I'd love to see how it turns out!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the book as shelf idea. I'm wondering how to incorporate it into my office -- I have papered one wall in Shakespeare, so I think that would look fantastic as an accent.
ReplyDeleteThat would be just plain FUN! Thanks for sharing your brainstorm!
ReplyDeleteall of these are so dang adorable. love the bookshelves the best! clever, useful, and attractive!
ReplyDeleteJoin the club, Leslie ... these babies are, hands down, the most favored idea of the bunch!
ReplyDeleteThanks for weighing in this afternoon!
I love the bicycle. I don't know about how to do these google stuff so I won't be your winner but just didn't even realize it was a giveaway and as I scroll I saw the bike and thought, wow how cool for my brother the ever bicycle riding enthusiast !
