Repurposing - what do you think of this?
Comments (39)Sorry it so long to get the last pic. I have all the parts . I think most my parts came from Amazon. Google "Stanley N112-102" to find best price. The only part you will have to find locally is the "box rail" track since shipping cost will kill you. Mine is 12 ft long so cost+ shipping would have been about $200. I found it at Lowes for $35....See MoreRepurposing
Comments (31)You can also use acetone (or nail polish remover) to get rid of the sticky residue from labels. Once I went to a Valentine's party in San Dimas hosted by ex-Morman retired florists, and they slapped a name badge on my clear plastic vest before I had a chance to protest. I hadn't even given them my correct name, and so I had no idea I was going to get a name badge! Then I found out that there was no booze at that party, and so I had to leave with a couple of friends to find a liquor store so I could buy a bottle of Vodka to hide in the bushes in the beautifully terraced and landscaped back yard. Firemen and policemen were supposed to be guests of honor, to make it even stranger. There was only one fireman there but plenty of policemen, whom I found to be rather irritating even out of uniform, and so I did not stay very long. When I got home, I had to use nail polish remover to clean my vest. Lars...See MoreOCD furniture issue, need to repurpose china cabinet
Comments (5)We have an old pine china cabinet in our beach cottage bathroom, believe it or not. The house has an abnormally large bathroom/laundry room but no closet, so we have towels stored in the upper glass-door cabinet, washcloths in the drawers, and toilet paper, etc., in the bottom cabinet! You could also take off the glass doors on top (assuming you have them) to make it look more bookcase-like. Repair the holes from the door hinges and paint the whole thing a fun color....See MoreThoughts of better organization of powder/laundry space
Comments (6)localeater, we have a powder room accessed through the laundry, and while it's functional for use with kids, us working inside and outside, it's NOT my preferred guest bath. My laundry room isn't all THAT tidy and besides the litter box is in the area, too. But, I'd rather walk through the laundry to the bathroom than walk through the bathroom to the laundry. Of course, it could be just one big space. I toyed with that idea for our remodel, but got no love on it from DH. We have another bath in a first-floor guest room/study, but, well, when we use it as a study it's not all that tidy either lol. If you can do Mark's concept, it makes more sense and makes better use of space and gives you lots of storage in the laundry. Use the coat tree! Love that!...See MoreJAN MOYER
