Here are some ideas I have repurposed:




Repainted Footstool w/ Chalkboard Paint

I had this footstool and my daughter never used it so I was going to donate it.  I decided to paint it and put chalkboard paint on the top of it.  It completely changed the appearance and now my daughter loves it. She is always writing messages on it.



Repurposed Jars with Tissue Paper & Ribbon

These jars were actually spaghetti and alfredo sauces jars and I thought I would reuse them.  I cut strips of tissue paper with a paper cutter and the put it on the jar with Mod Podge. I then put bows around them and painted the lids.  It was super easy.

Painted Mason Jars

These were so easy to do. I painted the lids and finials with green paint.  I glued the finials on top and they are done.  I use them as candy jars.  They look cuter when they are filled with candy.

Repainted Items

These items were different colors when I bought them and I changed them to match my daughter's room.  Now they look custom to her room because they match it.

Hand Painted Zebra Shelf

I hand painted this shelf in hot pink and zebra theme.  It completely changed the look of it.  It was really easy to paint.  If you have never painted accessories before, try it on scratch paper first.
