5 New Uses for Old Things - DIY Home Decor
Greetings Readers!
I would like to preface this entry with that I felt very inspired to write on this subject. Since I am a lover of "Old" things, I would also love to make them current and useful. I have so many antiques in my apartment. (This creates my eclectic style that I love!) What you don't know is that I have A LOT of old things stored away and protected. But I have decided that I would like to re-purpose them.

4. Picture Frame - This can magically transform into... A cocktail tray
and jewelry holder...
A Chalkboard...
a bedside tray for pretties!!
A magnetic board! Options are endless...
5. Wine Glasses - Tea Candle holders. A little sand, a little light and the "Vois la!" you have some new accent decor for your living room, bedroom, bathroom or entryway!
Just another take on wine glasses as tea light holders.

Love these ideas. I have two calendars from the past two years that I just love the monthly photos on. I have been thinking about making a collage. Cool stuff.
