I love walking into someone’s house and seeing something unexpected–and I mean that in regards to repurposing objects into art–not the visiting Aunt Matilda straight out of the shower. I love hearing the story behind the why too. AND I LOVE THIS FIRE LADDER as a coat hook. I have had this picture from a magazine for years and years. I don’t know who to give credit to for it–it is so PERFECT. I will have one someday. Thank you to whoever came up with this idea. Know any Firemen who have a ladder I can have?
This is thinking outside the box too. The picture above and below are from this month’s Redbook (May 2013) featuring Designer Cortney Novogratz about showing off one’s collections.
If you like her ideas she has a design book, Home by Novogratz and an HGTV show of the same name.
Fun idea. How about favorite tee shirts from concerts, camps, races, or?
Beautiful.
It’s from a book…see the binding?
Grandma’s attic or flea market finds, garage sales, architectual artifacts…
And lastly, I would be remiss to not mention children’s artwork. It’s not just for refrigerators! This is my house. The caption of the picture on left reads, “Small Robot Dancing”. Love that.
