Recycling is a wonderful thing but when you combine it with repurposing and give an ordinary item new life…well that is even more fabulous! Let’s take a peek at some palettes and spools that
have been recreated and look like they could be featured in a Pottery Barn catalog. Maybe there is something here that will get your creative juices flowing. One thing for certain, these projects will not tug at the purse strings!
With no effort…not even as much as a paint brush, these fabulous vintage spools have been used as an inventive way to store and display your jewelry.
A discarded industrial spool with very little work can be transformed into a table in no time!
Sometimes a simple spool base like this…

There is simply no end to the versatility of this basestructure.

Here is an idea that is pretty brilliant…a cable spool headboard…oh the possibilities!
These fabulous spools also love to be treated to a yummy coat of paint. The Vintage Dormer instantly transforms this one into a shabby oh so chic cottage delight and oh so useful!

Such a wonderful post! Thank you for sharing our cable spool makeover Andrea <3 Kind regards, Siobhan 🙂
Great ideas but please do not grow edible things directly in them. Pallets are treated and these chemicals such as arsenic can seep into your soil.
