There are endless ways to repurpose old shutters , but my favorite way is to turn it into a kitchen storage device. Paint the shutters according to your design scheme and add hooks for towels, hot pads, measuring cups and more. You can even add a magnetic strip to keep your knives organized. This is a great option for people who are renting a home and can’t make too many changes to their kitchen.
I told you shutters could be reused in endless ways! Turn an old shutter into a mail organizing device! Again, you’ll want to touch it up with a coat of paint and a few hooks (for keys and such!), but stick it in your office and store mail between the slats.
If you have an old bookshelf, turn it on its side and add a cushion to the top to create an awesome storage bench. You’ll have to take the necessary safety precautions to ensure that this can support people’s weight, but it’s a great way to add storage (and sitting!) space to a child’s bedroom.
When torn apart, old pallets can make a great garden walkway. The planks will have to be weather-proofed, but you cannot beat how easy this project is.
If you weren’t interested in the garden pathway, turn your pallet into a vertical garden. It doesn’t require much work and it’s a great way to add space to a small garden. Vertical gardens are amazing!
This is one of my favorite DIYs. Use the drawers from an old dresser and mount them to the wall for great storage space! Decorate with dividers and wallpaper for a vintage look.

That old bean bag in your attic that you gave up on ages ago can still come in handy! Empty the beans out (be sure to dispose of these safely!) and then store all your kids’ stuffed animals in it! It’s such an easy way to keep the toy room neat and clean, and you got to repurpose an unused furniture item.
If you, by chance, happen to come across an old barn door, then here’s the perfect DIY project for it! Use it for a sliding pantry door, in your bedroom, or anywhere else in your home that could benefit from a sliding door. Be on the lookout for reposessed doors at your local junk yard.
