I love to use things in ways that are different than what they were created to do! My kids always say I look at items for what they can BECOME - not for what they are. I think they get a bit irritated at me until I have some awesome idea and then they appreciate my idiosyncrasies.
I'm going to try to feature a couple of 're-purposed' items once a week under Whit's Wisdom. Let me know if you have anything you'd like to share - I welcome any and all new ideas!!!
Wine Rack = Towel Rack
My Mother gave me an accordion type wine rack a few years ago. Seeing as how wine doesn't last long enough around here to be stored, I decided to hang the rack on the wall in my kitchen. I then rolled up small kitchen towels and stuck them in each wine slot. Voila! I now had an easy to access, decorative kitchen towel holder. It worked out wonderfully!
Laundry Sorter = Recycling Bin
I needed some easy-to-carry bins for my recycling. I also needed them to be inexpensive! I ran across these plastic laundry sorters at Ikea for $3 each!!
A little paint and some creativity and THIS is what I ended up with:
They work perfectly for my recycling!
