I love "repurposing" things, finding another use for something. Two of my favorites that I have repurposed are a crystal biscuit jar into a toothbrush holder (left the lid off), and an old but elegant glass decanter as a mouthwash holder. Recently, I reused an old teak and plexiglass breadbox into a "mini hothouse" for baby seedlings. What ideas have you come up with to reuse and repurpose?

The jewelry box looks beautiful Michele. I can't wait to see what you do with the other one.

Thanks Krista!
I know he is glad it is done. I mostly picked colors and handed him a hammer and paint roller. I only painted the dresser and light fixture plaque. Now come the fun part putting up the wall decoration. I will post pics when I get the medicine cabinet hutch painted. Hubby took an old night stand and built a tier with shelves and doors. He is simply amazing.

Thanks Ladies!
Lisa thanks for the Beyond paint suggestion. I am a little concerned about the front edge getting worn down with use from the sink. Time will tell how durable it will be and if I will need to touch it up.
