Repurposing things to new life is one of my superpowers. I’m often able to fill a need (quite nicely) using what I already have at home. And you can too!
I’m sharing a whole list of ideas below. Check it out!

Whether you live in a tiny home or RV, or you just want to scale down holiday decorations, a small Christmas tree can be beautiful, meaningful & sentimental.
Come see how we really made our small tree shine!

I love to use blinds for privacy and valances to ‘dress’ the window up. But they’re so expensive! I decided to use my grandmother’s hand-tatted lace dresser scarf for one of our windows. And a different hand-made dresser scarf for another window. Sentimental window treatments!

Don’t toss it – transform it! Breathe new life into old items by repurposing glass or plastic jars, holey socks, old blue jeans and more for helpful new and FREE purposes!

Single-use plastic shopping bags are being banned in more & more cities. But you say you’re disappointed because you actually reused those plastic shopping bags?
No worries, there’s still plenty of plastic coming into your house to take their place – IF you know where to look!

Recently I wrote about framing a very large mirror with wood removed from our 1880’s barn during it’s exterior renovations.
The mirror included embellishment using our Elwood barbed wire dating back to 1882. We enjoy using items from our Homestead’s past and bring them close to us in our home.

I needed a large barn wood mirror for our home, but large mirrors in that style are pretty pricy. So we purchased a large mirror at a thrift store and made our own using reclaimed wood from our beautiful 1880’s barn. I love the way it turned out!

I like to use heirloom seeds for my veggie garden. But I still want to have seedling plants to actually place in the soil in the spring. What’s an enterprising country gal to do?
I bring out my “indoor greenhouse kit“. This kit is contains everything I need to get a jump start on the growing season… INSIDE!
