I really love it when I can save something from a landfill and make my home prettier at the same time. Today I’m showcasing 3 broken items we transformed into something else.
The first one is an electrical chandelier that didn’t work any more. My friend was going to get rid of it, and I asked if I could have it. After paint, and some minor surgery, it’s now a candle-chandelier or a candle-ir.
I bought this pediment after it had already broken off of the furniture it was attached to. There is something about it that I really like, so I use it like artwork on the wall.
Lastly I love this chair and decided to keep it even after an unfortunate accident meant it was no longer suitable for sitting. For some reason a lot of readers did not ‘get’ my art. That’s okay. I like it, and I hope it encourages you to get creative and come up with unusual uses for things that would otherwise be thrown away.
I hope this post has given you some inspiration to save something that you might have otherwise thrown out. Or maybe you see how you could use that thing at the thrift store that everyone else keeps passing over.
I absolutely love and understand the chair…I have a piece like that myself ! My friends have finally decided it adds character.
I get it and it is great!

I get it too, and I love it! I’m not good at thinking outside of the box so any ideas are great!
I am once again inspired! I get it and I love it all.
Thanks again , Anita!
Love the chandelier……looks great
I totally get it and LOVE it all… Thanks for sharing!
I so enjoy your posts
Anita,
Love, LOVE, L O V E all your repurposing!!!
It’s alright if everyone doesn’t “get~it” with the chair.
You will make them think, dear friend.
And with those thoughts they, too, may become more creative!!!
Fondly,
Pat
Great ways to repurpose things! Love the chandy and the pediment and I remember seeing the chair before. It is always fun to use things in a different way. xo Diana
I love every piece! Great inspirations, I love repurposing!
Glad you gave those items that may have been discarded a great home and a beautiful makeover!
Love the chair the way you have it displayed
glad to know someone else does odd decorating like me
I love what you did with the chair!
I take old chairs with bad legs and pull the rest of the legs off. Then I hang them on walls or fences for shelf’s. If they are used out side put a good waterproof sealer them.
You mentioned that your mother is an artist, that makes sense. You may not be a painter, but you have the “creative eye”. I, myself am an artist. That always sounds funny to me. I just never think of a title like that for myself. I paint, yes, I draw, yes, but “I’m an artist?” Anyway I find that sometimes my hubby doesn’t get my creativeness. A friend of mine told me one time, that she knew I was an artist because when she looks at a tree, for example, all she sees is a “tree”. When I look at a tree I see beauty and color and imagination. That’s what you did with the chair! You are an artist!
Thank you for sharing your creativity. I love your creations.

They all three look cut, very clever.
