rePURPOSING Things: for Good!

I recently helped a client move from this spacious home.

They needed only a fraction of the furniture in this house for their new home - and you can imagine how much furniture a house like this can hold - so they did a very generous thing. They held a family and friends furniture sale and donated ALL the proceeds to the Parkinson's Foundation.

What an ideal way to dispose of unwanted items and do some good at the same time. Hats off to them!

Showing Off Your Stuff

Unless you lived in a catalogue, you would not ordinarily think of displaying the contents of your linen closet. But the owner of this Maine cottage had a different idea.

Her tiny closet lacked doors, so she put her resources into colorful baskets that compliment her towels and - voila! - her closet is a work of art.

From Tired Tile to Sparkling Spa

Here is a quick way to perk up a bathroom.

This bathroom had dark, dated tile that made the room look small and uninviting. Replacing the tile would be messy and expensive.

A quick resurfacing saved time, money and mess and transformed it from tired tile to a spa-like shower.
