    These are all fun ideas. Since a lot of people will be celebrating the holidays with just immediate family, there will definitely be some down time. I like the idea of a little DIY project can give me something to do.

    What an awesome array of creative ideas! One of the best repurposing jobs we ever did was before our first daughter was born. We changing a black dresser (that came with our house) into a beautiful changing table. My husband took the top off and created a new top with three low sides to accommodate a changing pad. He cut out the bottom below the lowest drawer to make room for our feet. We painted the cabinet, added new knobs, and attached a wire unit on the side to hold more supplies. I stored diapers, clothing, and other baby supplies in the cabinet. Once the girls were grown, we repurposed it again- gave it a new color and knobs, and turned it into a key, dog leashes, and shoe cabinet for our entryway.

      That's wonderful! Thanks for sharing, Linda! I find with a little creativity we can transform well-built items in our home and give it a new life at least a few times throughout its life.

    DIY is all the rage with this pandemic keeping us locked up at home. I was thinking that the jewelry organizer would make a terrific holiday gift, if you happen to have a young woman on your list. Why not make a gift of organization this year, right?

      Exactly, Seana! It just takes a little creativity and a little planning. DIY gifts are wonderful because they show the loved ones you took the time and made something for them. =) It is so much better than a gift card.
