Trash to Treasure -- Storage

Today I thought I would share some trash to treasure storage units I came across.  Just click on the blog names to go to the tutorials.

This is shelving made from old shutters from Follow Your Heart Woodworking.   This would look great in any room.

  

Here is a trunk made over into  end-of-bed storage from The Vintage Magi:

Old bookshelf made into nifty storage by Remodel Aholic.

I don't know where this one came from but I really like the look of it.   It is made from two old windows and two dresser drawers.  

Thanks for visiting today.

Organize ---- I Heart Organizing Blog

 Today I am sharing a blog dedicated to organizing.   Http://www.iheartorganizing.blogspot.com

 This blog has tons of organizing ideas for children and the home.

 I love this idea of turning a couple of bookcases on their side and using them for sitting and storage.  Be sure and check their blog out.

Trash to Treasure --- Suitcases

Today's trash to treasure is about vintage suitcases.   It is interesting to me to see all these ways to repurpose an old suitcase.

You can find a tutorial here on how to make this pet bed from a suitcase.   It includes directions on securing the lid.  You wouldn't want it falling on your pet!

Add legs to a suitcase to make a side table.

Here is a tutorial showing how to do this on Good Housekeeping.


Here is a beautiful cottagy side table  with the suitcase sitting on a table made by Songbird

Here are some pictures of other uses to give you some inspiration.

Paint them.
