Repurposing

In the last few weeks, Cliff and I have really tried to take a hard look at our home and consider if the space we have is being utilized well. One of the areas that has bothered me for awhile now is our front entry. It had two hooks available for coats, jackets, purses, etc. but it lacked personality.

While garage "sailing" a few weeks ago, I found three old windows for $1 each! It was SUCH an amazing bargain. I bought one and then Cliff and I went back for the other two. We were thrilled. We ended up putting one outside on our fence and were so happy with how it turned out. I had a vision for how to use one of the others inside to spruce up our boring entry.

I took the old window and attached four hooks that I bought at Target very inexpensively. Then I found some cork squares at Staples and trimmed those down to fit inside the window panes. Then Cliff attached it to the wall for me!

Now, as we come and go from our home, we see faces of our favorite people - family and friends who love and care for us, yet still have hooks there for all the items that must be hung. I think this was a successful project!

We still have one more window - any ideas for us?
