Repurposed

One of my favorite vintage furniture stores is going out of business due to the recession. RD Steeves Imports is having a clearance on their remaining stock. If you're anywhere near...run over and snatch something up before its too late!

A sampling of furniture we've bought over the years, and repurposed into something new:

Oak armoire to linen closet

Walnut wardrobe to coat closet/ironing center

Oak buffet/sideboard to master bathroom sink cabinet

and at our old house
oak sideboards set into the attic wall for extra storage

The storage idea is amazing and I'm drooling over the sideboard vanity in the bath.

Amazing as always Mz. C! I just bought a house (you would have a field day with) and have EXACTLY the buffet or dresser to bathroom vanity idea I want to implement. Thanks for the inspirations!
