Skateboards, crutches, ladders, books, furniture, suitcases and even pianos can be repurposed to create surprisingly unique shelves for the home. Old crates, wine bottles and any number of other household items can be salvaged to creatively grace a wall in your home.
For the travel lover, consider cutting up a few vintage suitcases and attaching them to the wall to display your favorite items and souvenirs from your travels.
Is your garage or attic filled with those discarded and broken chairs and tables that you keep telling yourself you’re going to repair someday? Cut them up, paint them and refashion those pieces into a one-of-a-kind shelving unit for your family room.
For the game room, pool sticks can serve as the base for green felt-covered shelves with pool balls as dividers and accents. Old skateboards make for easy floating shelves.
