What can I do with this old storage shelf? I want to repurpose it...

A book case by removing some of the dowels and adding shelves. Or my favorite idea is a blanket stand to display quilts or blankets on. Blanket ladders are really popular right now

will rolls of ribbon sit on the dowels or spice jars? If small mason jars sit on them then make those into spice jars. Paint the rack.

I would paint it and use it a towel rack. Add hooks and it becomes a nice kitchen rack for dish towels, pot holders,kitchen utensils or even a pot rack. I wish I had this.

Some great ideas! I think I might remove dowels add shelves and incorporate a pallet.

thanks everyone and keep ideas coming.

I am going to use mine as a trellis to support climbing plants in our annual food garden.

I made mine into a shoe racks...all I did was spray paint them black.

Think it would be a nice drying rack for those little things that would last longer by not putting them in the dryer Sweaters, hosiery, delicates etc.

Deffo a shoe rack, works really well :)

Shoe Rack or Drying Rack for Laundry Room

Would make a great place to put paperback books

When we had 2 different families visit, sharing one bathroom didn't have enough towel space. I painted and used this as their personal towel rack. Add small basket on top for small lotions, soaps, razor, etc.

I thought it was a shoe rack when I first looked. Do you need a drying rack? Can it be turned into a hanging pot rack?

I use one in my back hallway to store canned goods,such as soups and vegetables. It uses very little space and is very handy for the extras you might need in your pantry. Lay the cans on their side.

Love the shoe & towel rack ideas. Is there a way to attach it to the wall as a pot rack using S-hooks? Or add shelves to make a plate rack?

A drying rack in the laundry room for socks and under ware. I do not put mine in the dryer.

We made ours less wide and its our toilet paper roll rack in the bath room

How about a rack to hold aluminum foil, waxed paper etc? May need to be cut in 2 for that. Also a blanket rack for the bedroom. Wrapping paper holder for the gift wrap closet. I always have a half dozen rolls of wrapping paper, Christmas, Birthday etc that is making a mess in my hall closet. Bows could be strung on the top rung also.

Great if you have kids. Buy some sort of hooks and hang wet gloves, hats, scarves, boots on the bottom. Have something similar in our mudroom and it works great when the grandkids are here and it's snowing. Also use for gardening gloves and wet, muddy boots.

When I first looked at the pic I thought it was a blanket or quilt rack used in the bedroom

I've recently seen a quilt rack (with similar dowel features) made into a fruit and vegetable cart for the kitchen. They angled wire baskets on the top dowel grouping and hung S hooks from the next level for dish towels. A bottom "shelf" was created by moving one of the dowels to be even with the other two which made a level shelf for pots/pans etc. I'm not sure where I saw this otherwise I would share the link!

turn it on it's side and make a table for your entry way.. will have to make ends match.

I have a rack that I only use for large jars of uncooked pasta. It keeps my cabinets clear and is handy if I want to cook some.

Use it as a shoe rack

Use it as a book rack

Put small decorative baskets in it that will slightly tilt for easier access, a small piece of wood on top and use next to a couch or chair for remotes, beverages on top, etc.

If you collect or have any, you could use it as a quilt rack.

shoe rack

I think a shoe rack. You could also paint it and hang necklaces on it.

Could use in bathroom as a small towel rail, adding small baskets to lower shelves.

Hi Ally, hope this helps you out. I think this would make a great shoe rack!

A blanket ladder.

I see pretty quilts or blankets hanging on it. I'd paint it white and display them.

A shoe or book rack or add various sized boxes for storage of craft items.

Hi Ally: You can use it as a quilt or blanket rack or a rack to put outside and hang light things to dry in the sun.
