REPURPOSING...DECORATING IDEAS HERE!

[username]

I went to the farm where my daughter used to ride and they were nice enough to give me a couple of old horseshoes. I hung one above her door and I might send the other one with her for her travels.

Donovan dimebag could repurpose those horseshoes into a halo for a family pet.

Handy for the festive season.

If my husband pisses me off, I could always throw one and see if I can ring it around his neck. It's only a game, right?

Maybe a ninja caganer would cheer up the place.

A ninja could have been at the nativity and no one would have known

Fixing up old junk really isn't my thing, but some of these are pretty cool. I like the old skate boards that were turned into a child's table. I might do that for my daughter with my son's old skate boards.

All kinds of animal shit in the manger enough to fertilize a field. Surprised the virgin mary could tell when junior had blessed her with literally holy shit.

Well I think we can both agree there is a difference between creativity fuelled by innovation (a table made from old skateboards) and basic necessity fuelled by poverty (old animal horns used as coathooks).

You can buy brand new shiny coathooks in home depot for $10. I can imagine dimebags house looking like leatherfaces houses in the texas chainsaw massacre. When our relatives die we bury or cremate them when dimebags relatives dies he “repurposes” their skeletons into a coffee table.

I'm just checking - do you have it hung properly? By that I mean the top must be open to hold all the good luck, if it's upside down all the good luck will fall out.

The right way to hang a horseshoe is debated some say they should be hung points up to capture luck others say they should be hung points down to release luck.

I don't want to release my good luck, I want to hang on to it.

Rational people say it's a curved piece of flat iron that belongs on a hoof.

Okay, a couple of repurposing shots.

I've got a very old house with really small rooms. All the closet doors were taken out and replaced with wooden beads so the minimal floor space is maximized. Since my discretionary income is minimal too, I work with what I already have and know it's not everybody's idea of style, but it's functional and comfortable for me.



-The coffee table is an old bench that I spray painted.
-The table/desk in the corner is my first computer desk from the 90s, spray painted. It holds tons of books and albums.
-The rug is a blanket my friend gave me for Christmas years ago - tacked at the corners with double sided tape.
-The red chair seat cover hides a big rip and is just a table napkins affixed using spray glue (that stuff is godly, keeps things held in place, but then they pull right up if you wanna replace or reposition them).


-This is my futon bed when company visits - head board is an old dresser frame.
-The side table to the left is an old step ladder with a shelf. It and the bucket that holds whatever books I'm reading are both spray painted.
-In the right corner, you can see my purple wig, pink cowboy hat, and white mesh dress (haha, sometimes private dress up is fun) in the next room - that's all hanging on a broken floor lamp.


-Hanging over the sofa are the doors to the entertainment hutch which is against the wall across from the sofa.
-The red lamp shade is kinda faded at the bottom, but it's hidden with an old scarf belt (c'mon, everybody had one!) held in place with a long hoop necklace.



The turn table sits on top of a bar stool covered with a blanket that has sentimental value.

I'm all clucked out!

Hot D, the pix are great! You have a creative mind.

Spray glue? Be still my heart. Can I find that anywhere?

It's great stuff.

Lowe's and Home Depot have it, but I'd imagine any craft store would have it too. The can I have here is 3M Multi-Purpose Spray Adhesive.

cool. Time for roktar to get very attached to stuff ie the toilet or bed.

Better make sure there's some Bactine and Band-aids in the medicine cabinet before you pull that burn on the toilet seat.

I think your mom would be pissed if you glued Roktar's ass to the toilet seat right before the holidays.

probably. But only if theyre awake for it. Better stock up on sleeping pills for the parental units.
