When Josh
and I move into our new place, there are many things that I am looking forward
to. There are obvious perks like, him working and our income level going up,
double the living space we currently have, and our own garage. But there are
some other things that have also got me excited about this move.
If you
follow me on Pinterest you may notice that I like to pin things about
repurposing old furniture or design elements. Prior to getting married,
repurposing became one of my hobbies, it especially helped as we planned our
wedding décor as it enabled us to have things that were one of a kind and could
be reused.
Since our
wedding I have not had the luxury of repurposing. A tiny one-bedroom apartment,
on the 11th floor, downtown Madison does not exactly allow for
painting, sanding, or rehab projects. Plus, even if I took a chance, made the
mess, and got creative, there was nowhere for me to store incomplete projects,
or even finished ones.
Thankfully,
in just a few short weeks I will be able to get back into the swing of things.
It will be prime garage sale season and it’s always easy to find something
unique that can be redone.
Besides,
with all that extra space Josh and I are going to have to add to our furniture
collection. Maybe a re-purposed dining room table is in our future… (We haven’t
had a table since we got married, courtesy of a lack of space).
Here are some of my former DIY projects:

| Headboard created from Cabinet Doors |
