Day 29 - Repurposed Furniture (Part 2) {31 Cheap & Easy DIY Organizers}




Think you have to spend a lot of money on costly organizing tools to get your house in order?  Nope!  Getting organized doesn't have to be expensive!

Throughout this series I'm sharing ideas to help you organize your home by either

  • making simple organizers with things that don't cost very much OR
  • using items you already have in a different way.
If cost has been holding you back from getting organized, now you've got no more excuses!  

The series is wrapping up soon, but I've still got a lot of ideas I want to share with you!  I've already shared ideas for repurposing dressers and repurposing furniture to help you organize.  But I have a few more repurposing furniture ideas to share with you today.



  • I love all the functional and decorative ideas added to this shelf unit to make it a very practical piece for an entry!

  • If you need more storage space in a bathroom, add a bookshelf unit and you've instantly got lots of storage!

  • If you need more shelves in a laundry room, add a shelf unit like the ones you get as part of a closet organizing system (in this post they actually built these shelves from scratch, but you can find these units as a package if you'd prefer to go that route).

  • Or you can go the other way, and turn an old laundry room cabinet into a sofa table to give you extra storage room in a living room or family room.  Check out this post for the beautiful pictures and all the details.



If you've followed me for awhile, you may remember that I repurposed an old microwave stand to provide extra storage space in our kitchen.

So take a look around your home and see if you have some furniture pieces that are being under-utilized.  Spruce them up a bit (if you like that sort of thing) and then repurpose them to help you get organized!  If you don't have any extra furniture around your home, keep your eyes open for deals at garage sales and thrift stores.  And remember to think outside the box!
