Re-Purposing Your Vintage Items

 Many vintage items we find are meant for very specific purposes. Like a toast rack, for example. I don't know about you, but I most likely will not be organizing my toast in such a way. However, there are creative ways to re-purpose these items in a way that will allow you to use them all the time, as well as enjoy their appearance and history.

Enjoy our favorites this week:

This idea is great. Just apply chalk board paint to the surface of a silver tray and you have a cute door sign.

 Cake pedestals are still great for actual cake, but you can also put them in the bathroom for guests to enjoy your favorite lotions and soaps.

 When buying antique china, you tend to get some stray pieces. Use them for jewelry while adding visual appeal to your vanity.

 Who says earrings go on your ears? Vintage clip earrings are instant shoe jewelry!

Using old silver vessels as organizational tools is a wonderful idea. I have never seen prettier cotton balls.

Put your perfumes on a vintage silver tray. You will feel even more glamorous.

We hope you enjoyed our re-purposed favorites!
