When we reimagine our homes, we come up with some pretty unique personalized ideas. If you follow my blog, you know that this month I’m doing a blog series called 31 Days of Reimagining. After a little Pinterest searching, I found five ideas that I think are particularly re-imaginative. Check them out. 1. Shutter Cup Rack Turn an old weathered shutter into cute plate and cup storage.

Chair Turned Nightstand Repurpose a pretty chair into your nightstand. Easy and budget-friendly! See the pin. 4. Pie Pan Tiered Stand Make your own three-tiered tray stand using just three pie pans and two candlestick bases. See the pin. 5. Vintage Suitcase Nightstand Crafting a nightstand out of vintage suitcases isn’t exactly a new idea, but I had to include this pin because of its cheery color combination. See the pin.
