I'm not sure that what I've done is repurposing in the strictest meaning of the word, but I did turn someone else's trash into my treasure. A few weeks ago I noticed my neighbor having a garage sale and wandered over to see what treasure might be there.
I discovered a great looking wicker bar with two barstools. The wicker was in great shape structurally. There was just a little peeling paint.
Four cans of white spray paint later and I have a new plant stand with three shelves and two new places for people to sit. Well, OK, I did buy seven new green glazed pots with saucers and two new chair cushions, but doesn't it look nice?
My favortie daughter-in-law (I can say this because she is my only d-i-l) gifted me with a great metal tray to go with these renewed pieces.
For now, the tender cuttings and plants that I plan to use in the spring garden are taking shelter on the porch in a much neater and prettier way.
This was a project I enjoyed doing that was garden related and kept me from doing the pre-mature trimming I'm so itching to do.
