I love the idea of having a new project with the new season, so I&#8217;ve been coming up with a moodboard to upcycle my own furniture. Here are a few of my ideas&#8230; I&#8217;m not going to give away all of them cos everyone will steal them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">p<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Crates<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It&#8217;s amazing how often these guys crop up when you&#8217;re on the look out for them &#8211; you can create all kinds of wonders. They&#8217;re perfect if you want to make a temporary seating area outside, or you can bring them in to give your home a boho feel.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.loomandlast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/crate-storage1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2478\" src=\"http:\/\/www.loomandlast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/crate-storage1.jpg\" alt=\"cRATE REUSE\" width=\"496\" height=\"668\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.loomandlast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/crate-storage1.jpg 620w, https:\/\/www.loomandlast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/crate-storage1-371x500.jpg 371w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 496px) 100vw, 496px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/media-cache-cd0.pinimg.com\/originals\/20\/0e\/4b\/200e4b84e53e456bda1c329966721759.jpg\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">p<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Vintage suitcases<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The things you can do with one of these! The possibilities are endless &#8211; you can create chairs you know &#8211; but I love how simple this idea is. You can find a simple black table and make it into something unique that has real character. You can pick one of these up from <a href=\"etsy.com\">Etsy<\/a> or at your local vintage shop.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.loomandlast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/suitcase.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2481\" src=\"http:\/\/www.loomandlast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/suitcase.jpg\" alt=\"Suitcase\" width=\"521\" height=\"880\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.loomandlast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/suitcase.jpg 521w, https:\/\/www.loomandlast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/suitcase-296x500.jpg 296w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 521px) 100vw, 521px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com\/originals\/e0\/9a\/f4\/e09af4e17b9f561135e37478096489cf.jpg\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">p<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Chest of drawers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Didn&#8217;t see this one coming did you? This is so genius it amazes me I hadn&#8217;t thought of it before. If you&#8217;re throwing out an old chest of drawers, or if you find one in the street, you can save one and make it into a lovely vintage looking bedside table. It&#8217;s perfect for storing books or shoes, looks great and is basically free!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.loomandlast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/bedside.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2483\" src=\"http:\/\/www.loomandlast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/bedside.jpg\" alt=\"Bedside table\" width=\"499\" height=\"748\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.loomandlast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/bedside.jpg 554w, https:\/\/www.loomandlast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/bedside-333x500.jpg 333w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 499px) 100vw, 499px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com\/originals\/47\/08\/1f\/47081fee66b7fda79062003fa221f2e5.jpg\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">p<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>An old ladder or door<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Alright &#8211; I&#8217;m not sure if this is a ladder or an old cupboard door, but this would work well with both. With re-purposing old furniture it&#8217;s always a good idea to keep the original paint on &#8211; you don&#8217;t want it to look too squeaky clean. This is a brilliant storage idea and is a lovely way of filling up a bare wall in the living room.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.loomandlast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/ladder-storage1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2484\" src=\"http:\/\/www.loomandlast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/ladder-storage1.jpg\" alt=\"ladder storage\" width=\"479\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.loomandlast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/ladder-storage1.jpg 479w, https:\/\/www.loomandlast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/ladder-storage1-249x500.jpg 249w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 479px) 100vw, 479px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"httphttp:\/\/media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com\/originals\/51\/86\/0c\/51860cf913f47ae46684508d1b472241.jpg\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">p<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Having come out of hibernation for the winter, I&#8217;ve noticed that more and more people are re-purposing old objects to create their own one-of-a-kind furniture.
