I love repurposing and finding new uses for things. I have been looking for a new desk and saw in a magazine how someone had taken an old antique square drop leaf table and made it in to a desk. It was so cool looking.

Right now, I use an old printer stand (it's pretty big) on wheels as my desk. Since sitting for long periods of time can really get to me, I can wheel the "desk" to the couch and sit there or wheel it to another place that will be comfortable for me to sit and work.

We used to have our tv on this old printer stand and that was great too as I am always moving furniture around. DDs hate it. LOL. I repurposed our buffet/side table to become the tv stand. The back had a board stapled on and it slides out. So I took that out so that we could put the home theater stuff in there. It looks so nice. When the home theater system is not in use we close the doors and it hides all the equipment so it looks clean.

I also love reading the magazine Real Simple. They have a section for new uses for old things. Some of these ideas are awesome! Things I never would have thought of. I never would have thought of using those nylon bags that onions, fruit, potatoes, etc. come in as a scrubby for pots and pans. It works too and saves money!

Since I am always looking for ideas, I thought I'd see what my NT buds do. Therefore, what kinds of things have you repurposed or found new uses for?
