Old School Drawers For Playful Nightstands
We all have a pair of old-school drawers, probably filled with grandpa’s photo albums and drying out in the attic. What if we told you there was a fun way to repurpose them?
Simply take out the set of drawers from their frames and stand them upright. Attach a nob or two for elevation. You can finish the project by painting with a color that complements the rest of your room color or décor theme.
A Vintage Stool For A Contemporary Ottoman
Gone are the days when stools were the thing. Now, unless you have a minibar or some vintage-style seating arrangement, stools are out of fashion. Instead of throwing away the gorgeous stand-offs, add a little cushioning to the seat and paint the legs around for a modern look. Add buttons to make it look tufted, and voila! You have a contemporary ottoman at your service.
A Curbside Dresser For A Vintage Themed Mini-Bar
Your mom’s old dresser would definitely be of sentimental value to her. This doesn’t mean it should be kept as a showpiece and not be put to good use. Simply add wooden boards aligning in the space in between to act as shelves. Next, paint it a cool-toned, vintage blue. Place it in the lounge area, and you have got yourself your very own vintage minibar.
Creative And Versatile Uses Of IKEA Spice Racks
Who says the incredible spice racks are only fit for spices in the kitchen? If you have an old dresser lying around, you can easily repaint it in bright colors to match your kid’s room’s aesthetic. You can add the racks aligned at each side of the dresser. Next thing you know, all those school notebooks and magazines won’t be lying around on the floor but held in the spice racks.
A Literal Door Frame
Everybody has an emotional inclination to every little aspect of their first home, but that doesn’t mean that old fixtures like door frames shouldn’t be replaced. There is an easy way to upcycle the replaced ones. Simply turn the panels into frames and add memorable pictures. Even paint the frame for a newer look and enjoy the preciousness.
