After we completed our kitchen renovation about four months ago, I wasn’t sure what to do with our empty baker’s rack. Because it was no longer being used in the kitchen, I decided to temporarily place it in the kids’ play room to get it out of the way. A couple days had passed and I slowly started to place several of the kids’ crafts and supplies on the shelf to keep them off the floor. Well, looking at the picture, the baker’s rack is now a full blown storage system for our craft materials. Doesn’t it look great? So, don’t be so fast to throw out furniture until you thoroughly evaluate its potential usefulness in another capacity. What items in your house have you reused or refurbished?
