Today’s Take 2 Tuesday installment is a huge collection of repurpose ideas. I think I’ve collected all of my projects that are repurposed from everyday items. I have not included any furniture pieces. I will compile that collection sometime in the near future. I hope you find something to inspire you and encourage you to think outside the box. If you’re a regular reader, enjoy a trip down memory lane. If you’re new here, welcome! I’m always available if you have any questions about any of my projects.

I love this post and it inspired me to do a roundup of simple re-purposing. It is a bit unbalanced as you have so many wonderful projects. Thank you for the inspiration and I hope others are inspired as well.
Thank you,
