What Would You Do With It - WWYD Wednesday

Yesterday, I showed you my CD rack turned scarf and belt holder. Now it's your turn to tell me what you would do with it. Maybe I'll even steal one of your ideas and re-purpose it again!

I'll bet someone can figure out some way to make this into a piece of art.

Transformation Tuesday - Repurposed CD Rack

I'm going to squeak a T2T makeover in here quick before the end of the day. I had a speaking event today and a big one coming up in a few days, so I couldn't spend much time on transforming anything. However, I had just removed my CD's from their rack and put them on a new shelf that I found at a garage sale. They'll get less dusty on the new shelf and it holds lots more.

So I was left with this CD holder...

It's about 4 feet tall, even though it doesn't appear very tall in the photo.

I thought about the belts and scarves that I had squished in my closet on hangers and thought maybe this could make a nice holder. It did. 5 minute transformation. Score!

 By draping the scarves over it and feeding the tails through to the back, I can easily see exactly what I have from the front. Belts can hang on the knobs sticking up at the top.

 Here it is in place in the closet. Oh, and the thing hanging on the wall is where I store the other scarves...the ones that I wear a lot. Yeah, I know. I have a lot of them that I've collected over many years.

 That wall scarf holder is something I made a while back with old door knobs from my grandma's house. No, I didn't steal them. They were tearing down the house and I salvaged them.

That's just a rustic picture frame with some mat-board and leftover wallpaper border with door knobs added. Works great for necklaces too.

Decor Going Down the Tubes...In Style

Sometimes we refer to trash to treasure as something that got a makeover, but wasn't truly "trash". But other times, it's literally trash turned into treasure. Chris from Just a Girl Blog used toilet paper tubes to make this art for her wall. She gives step by step instructions on the full post, so check it out if you'd like to make your own art.

Isn't that clever?

Muted Monday - Photo of the Week

A regular thing in my home...I bake 5-6 loaves at a time. No time for T2T on baking day!

Another Fan Cage Project - WWYD?

Yesterday, I showed you a fan cage project from fellow blogger Little Miss Lovely. Today, I found another fan cage idea...Yes, I can hear you groaning because you just threw one of these out last week when the 100+ temps did your fan in. Sorry!

Brooklyn Modern features a fan turned into a classy light.

Who knew? Check out the full post for more information about the project.

So, these projects got me thinking...What would my readers do with a broken fan? For today's What Would You Do Wednesday (WWYD), I'm wondering what you would make from the fan cage, or the fan blade...or any other recycled part of a fan. Post your ideas below, and if you have a link to a project you've made with an upcycled fan, please post the link to your post or send me an e-mail with a photo.

I'm a Real "Fan" of this Transformation

What do you do when a fan stops working? Recycle its parts! Ami over on Little Miss Lovely blog came up with this jewelry chandelier from the cage part of an old fan. Ami, I'm a "fan" of what you transformed it into! Check out the full post on Ami's blog.

Muted Monday - Photo of the Week

I doctored up a photo I took with Picnik. Perhaps this could be called reverse T2T since I made it look older. :-)
