Don’t you just {love} a good upcycle? Do you have anything that you’ve recently upcycled? Some pieces are super functional in one regard — but you have to think a little outside the box to see all of the other functional uses. I’m always strolling through stores wondering what I could use this item for or how I could upcycle a particular piece to meet a need I might have. It drives some of my family crazy, but I guess it’s those creative juices flowing.
So, a month or so ago I was visiting one of my favorite stores: World Market. I could spend hours strolling through this store! I always enjoy their kitchen area, seeing all the fun gadgets and utensils. I get excited just thinking about it {giggle}. Anywho, I saw this White Wire Dish Rack that had an antique finish and thought, “Love! How could I put this to good use outside the kitchen?” It then dawned on me that it would make a great shipping station for my shop! So, guess what? I bought it! And made it into my very own slice of shipping station heaven.
Oh yes I did! ….and I absolutely adore it! It’s so super cute and functional. The minute I set my eyes on it I knew I had to have it and couldn’t wait to put it to good use. It went from dish rack to shipping station!
Pretty fun, right? I already had all of my shipping goodies hanging out on the desk in a very scattered, unorganized manner. So, this added some sweet organization. I even had the dowel on hand to place where the mugs would hang to dry. It was thee perfect spot for storing some of the fabulous washi tape I like to use on the packages. On the others I hang some of the kraft tags I use for embellishments.
What do you think? Upcycle success?
All for the low cost of: $19.99
I just {love} it! Be inspired!
