Repurposed Open House

I wanted to share some pictures of an open house I attended last night.  Terry, a customer from the Carriage House, invited me to this event that she and a friend have.  They repurpose items to sell at this 3rd year open house.  It was fun to see what they imagined as a finished product.


Terry bought this white screen from me a few weeks back.  It makes a wonderful card holder.


The red door was so cute.  So many wonderful ideas in this area.


This area is part of the house year round.  Instead of hanging art work, the windows and shutter are used as the art. 


This was one of my favorite pieces (not for sale).  Quilt blocks were used with an old window.  


I just had to take a picture of the living room.  The fireplace mantle was super!  Makes me want to redo my home.....

There were so many great ideas at this open house that I'm inspired to start working on my own ideas. Sometimes I forget to keep items or repurpose them for my own home.  I'm so focused on bringing treasures to the Carriage House for others to enjoy.  I guess a little of both wouldn't hurt.

Happy treasure hunting!
