Reuse Tues: Doors & Dresses

Posted on November 2nd, 2010 by Tonia 4 Comments

Happy Tuesday, folks!  So many of you have been tweeting me your #ReuseTues projects!!  I love every single one of your creative and resourceful ideas.

@nataliese rescued an old door from the curb to reuse as signage at her wedding a few weeks ago:

I bet that door looked so cute at the wedding!  ALL the doors in our farmhouse are garage-sale finds {the previous owners had the same taste in decor as I do!}  I am extremely fond of old doors with lots of character.  Here are some of the ones around our house:

Our pantry door is especially charming…and to think this cutie could have ended up in a landfill instead of gracing our home with its cheerful yellowness every day…!!

I found the following story on Once Wed.  This is kind of the ultimate example of re-use.  Believe it or not, this beautiful bride made her wedding dress out of a sheet.  Wow, girl.

And last but not least, for any Facebookers out there, @melisheath discovered this cool organization that I think you’ll all enjoy.

That wraps up this week’s edition of ReuseTues.  I hope you’re feeling inspired to reuse something instead of throwing it in the trash!  And if you can’t reuse or recycle it, you could always re-gift it…..Speaking of which, I am currently taking donations/gifts in the form of old window frames, which I will reuse as picture frames.  😉

    I love Reuse Tues!

    Yay for salvaged doors. I guess Bill and I are attempting to do in our home what former inhabitants of your house did so well. Give us ten years, though, before we come up with something as good as that pantry.

    Which reminds me: Why have we not seen pictures of your HOUSE yet? It’s clearly super adorable. Quit holding out!

    I seriously need to learn how to sew. That’s on my list, right after I finish my Ph.D., lol, then I’ll go for a Ph.D. in sewing! So I can make my little girl sweater pants. Brilliant!
