Even Sarah Jessica Parker does it

Everybody knows them, everybody has them: that favorite shirt which doesn’t fit anymore, the once loved chair which now stands alone in a dark corner. They are unused space blockers, probably dusted and stored.

Now it’s time to dredge these items up and to present them in a different light. Be it in combination with other troublemakers, your absolute favorite objects or for a completely new function. Unlimited creativity and inventive talent are in demand, when it comes to breathing new life into old pieces.

Those are some very creative ideas. Not sure they'd work with my own decor, but still very clever.
