re-purposing

Do you have one particular spot in your house that needs better organization? Those two shelves and the corkboard could be used together to create a pretty functional space. You could put the shelves together and center the corkboard on the wall above them. Get some inexpensive baskets, bins or boxes (even from your local dollar store) and fit them side by side on the shelves to create storage "cubbies" that will house all kinds of stuff out of sight. Be sure to measure first so that your baskets, bins or boxes fill the shelf space and just choose one style - it creates a nice "built in" look rather than just appearing to be thrown together. Depending on the room that needs storage, you can paint the corkboard and shelves to match each other (if they don't already) or to match other furniture/items in that room. -In a home office, the cubbies can hold everything from printer paper to electronics and the corkboard can be used for a planner or for keeping all those notes and post-its off your desk and monitor. -In a child's room, the cubbies can be used for sorting and storing toys and the corkboard can display art work, school awards, a daily chores chart, etc. -In a family room, the cubbies can store video games, movies, music and the corkboard could be used to create a display of family photos, souvenirs or other memories. -In a kitchen or pantry, the cubbies can hold small appliances (clears a lot off the countertops), less-often-used dishes or servingware, or things like lunch bags, plastic wrap/foil and the corkboard could have a family schedule, meal planning for the week, favorite recipes, phone list, etc. -In an entry or mud room, washable cubbies can store shoes and boots, hats, gloves, smaller sports gear and the corkboard can hold keys, shopping lists, outgoing mail, carpooling/sports schedules - anything involved with the family constantly going in and out the door. -If you're a crafter, this would make excellent storage for supplies and the corkboard would be great for patterns, ideas for new projects, etc. The uses are pretty limitless... the only fly in the ointment is having a space to set it up

i think u can make lot of thing from the book rack.would suggest u to make a laptop,or computer table out of it which can be beneficial to you in your day to day life.

i have seen alarge bookshelf like that collaged with paper from a magazine (modpodged) or written and doodledon with permanent marker. what about putting them in your garage? whati did with my corkboard was put words all around the frame (cut from magazines or stickers) it gives it a fun look.

Is there another spot in the house that could use those shelves like in the garage, shed or laundry room? I know those are places I could use more shelves in. The corkboard I'm not sure what you could do with that other again find a new spot in your home to use it.

I would use them. The bookshelves can be used for books or painted and decorated and used for a display shelf. The cork board would work great as a place to hang a large calendar to keep up with your schedule and the schedules of the rest of the members of your family as well. If I had these items I would hang them all in my office. Good luck!

I don´t know how old are you, kamarlow, as you did not put it at your profile. But as we get old, we like to display pictures of our loved ones or even their pieces of art. A corkboard is the bast way to do it and the least expensive. If you don´t like the cord itself, you can cover it with paper or paint. I like to place there the works of my grandchildren. And lately I have been thinking of making another board (I have a large strong cardboard and I´,m saving corks from bottles). There I will make a sort of family tree with pictures.

It is great that you have the idea to repurpose things, but right off the top of my head I really can't think of what you might be able to do with these items. My suggestion might be to look online and see if there are any ideas of something that you would be able to do with them that would be practical for in your home. I know how you feel about missing something once you've gotten rid of it. However, if there is not a place for it in your home then the best thing that you can do is to let go of them.
