With the help of friends and family- I won the "People's Choice Award" at the ReStore ReStyle 2012 Event for Habitat for Humanity. I was humbled and overwhelmed by the turnout to see our creations- folks were so kind and complimentary! Habitat is a wonderful organization that is ALL about paying it forward. When I was asked to be a part of the event- I jumped at the opportunity. Making things out of things is my passion. A few examples found in my "reading and writing room" are:
And old deck umbrella became:
A floor lamp
The top of drapes
and an magnetized art piece to hold photos or notes.
A set of old drapes were re-purposed into:
Upholstery for a chair
"Flowers"
Decorative balls
A deck gate
An inspiration board
Check out the photos below.
Next time you are going to get rid of something, try to look at it a different way. See if you can give it new life- it is quite a satisfying feeling to re-purpose something destined for the trash.
Feeling quite inspired, I am off to make something out of something!
Take Care,
Kerrie
