Obsessions: Repurposing: ...little boxes, all the same... card cabinets and filing cabinets

I am currently obsessed with wooden library card cabinets. This is one clever cabinet repurposing idea, by Emily Henderson.

Or, for a post-industrial loft apartment inspiration, heavy, metal filing cabinets - by SnapshotVintage. Repurposed as night stands or end tables.

Photos taken from: Emily Henderson's blog, SnapshotVintage's Etsy. I am sure I will go back to those sites soon and often.

This is me thinking if I could possibly have both little boxes cabinets styles in my house.

Repurposing: Berzelius glass turned sustainable to-go cup/mug

Pictured above is a travel mug made by bringing together a chemist's Berzelius glass and a "Mini" sleeve from MugToGo. They say their sleeves are biodegradable and the ones I have look biodegradable to me. Berzelius glasses are heat resistant and somewhat shock resistant too.

So here it is - a way of having a "repurposed" travel cup. 

Apart from that - you can repurpose this type of chemist's glass by integrating it into decor [view examples below]

Light: candles and dark spaces

This is me using natural light at night. Candle corners keep the room warm-lit.

Repurposing: wood and iron

This is me liking the repurposed-wood idea and all but really drooling over the iron objects in the room

This is me wishing I had a glass cutting and a glass drilling device.

And this is also me, wishing I had such a great means of finding photo sources for every post. Giving credits is rewarding.

Repurposing ideas of note: retro magnetic storage device notebooks

Here I present some "repurposed" present (gift) ideas for your friends: the 3.5" five-pack version for the hip & young and the 5.25" version for the grown-up and truly nostalgic.

Both floppy disk notebook ideas from It's Our Earth, Inc. on cosa verde.

I'm thinking these objects could make for an interesting "handcrafted gifts" workshop.

Repurposing: Wine Bottles

I don't know what your drink of choice for Easter is, but here in my country we drink red wine. And unless you make and bottle your own red wine, you're going to have heaps of bottles lying around the house these days.
Of course you can send them to be recycled, but why not re-purpose them? Same goes for beer/vodka/any other glass bottle you set your eyes on.
You can find a lot of diy bottle-cutting tutorials out there, but if you prefer the finished product without putting effort into it, then check this out:

is a company that makes a large assortment of new products out of old bottles.

What attracted me to their site were the tumblers and glasses.

6 for $48

one for $15

$30

Then I discovered an entire world of bottle goods:

• TUMBLERS
• JUICE GLASSES
• SHOT GLASSES
• VASES
• BOWLS / DISHES
• LIGHTING
• CANDLE ACCESSORIES
• JEWELRY
• CHEESE TRAYS
• HOLIDAY ORNAMENTS

Here are just a few objects:

The rest, you'll have to see for yourself. Check their website store or the etsy store.

Still, if you find it odd to pay for repurposing, then you'll just have to let your imagination and craftsmanship prevail. 

So, we've seen how to repurpose the bottles. How about the corks?

There's a large array of uses for corks and there's company that makes floors and more:
