Back in the day when I was home stager, my job required quite a lot of creativity and out-of-the box thinking. Tight budgets often meant that we needed to use what the client had on hand to prepare a home for the market or complete the finishing touches on a room redesign project. Creative repurposing was the name of the game!
Today, I'm sharing some great examples of creative repurposing from around the blogosphere that you can use in your own home. I hope you find these repurposing/upcycling ideas inspiring...whether you are planning to sell, or you just love the idea of creating a new look using items that you already have.
What a fun way to add a punch of color to a bathroom, while providing functional storage at the same time. Use a wine rack to display towels (or wash cloths in a similar fashion) both on the side of a tub, or on a larger vanity.
So darned clever!

Hi Anne, I’m not sure I follow your comment.Are you saying that something in here would make a cute home office addition, or that you’d like to see cute home office redesign ideas?
Debbie Pendell says
When I had to stage our home, tablecloths were exactly what I used to make the curtains that I left in the home. I loved them so much, I wanted to take them with me.
Natalie Gallagher says
That’s awesome Debbie. You really can’t beat this economical solution!
Nancy Haworth says
I love these ideas, especially the wine rack repurposed as a towel holder! I will be sharing that idea with my organizing clients.
Natalie Gallagher says
I loved them all as well Nancy. So glad you found them useful!
Janet Barclay says
Wow, I love all of these. It makes me realize how unimaginative I am when it comes to my home.
Natalie Gallagher says
Just spend a few hours on Pinterest searching for repurposing projects and find one or two that will work in a space in your home. Always a fun way to pass the weekend!
Sarah Wake Davies says
Thank you for sharing your creativity……these are all awesome ideas! The wine rack one for towels I particularly love……I am going to steal it for my next staging gig 🙂 Continued greatness to you!
Natalie Gallagher says
Hi Sarah,
I wish I could take credit for all of these fantastic ideas…but I can’t! They are ideas culled from across the web that I’ve used at one time or another in staging and/or redesign projects. Feel free to steal away!
Thanks for stopping by the blog!
