"Repurposing Objects": Eclectic Interior Design Group.

Sidney Wagner from Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, heard about my quest for slow design ideas and sent me several of her own. Repurposing objects is a passion that serves Sidney well as the owner of her full-service interior design firm (http://www.eclectic-idg.com/).


Her first example of repurposing is a vintage roll of wallpaper as a lamp.

Next, a metal object found at an antique mall. Sidney had legs soldered on and painted it a cream color to make a coffee table for her sun porch. (See photos below.)

And an old Dutch grate that currently serves as a decorative piece on built-in bookshelves, but Sidney envisions it as a possible wall sconce or pot rack.
