Furnishings & Elements of this nature will surely end up in a garbage dump and will further attest to what many think of our American Society as disposable!
This past September the 150th birthday of my man William Morris was celebrated. I adhere to his mantra ("Have Nothing In Your Homes, you find not to be beautiful nor purposeful").
Beauty & Purpose can be accomplished in "repurposing". Life's Little Luxuries are not as easily attained as in the past and for some, whether on a shoe string budget or totally bored with their space sorround "repurposing" is the way to go and for these reasons:
- It's organic & green in its approach
- It's relatively simple-one just needs some time, elbow grease & a sense of creativity
- It brings back something old, worn & tired back to life
- It's economical - yet drips with taste
- It is customized and NO ONE else has anything like it (umm, mass produced - poo poo)
- It's totally VOGUE
With beauty in the eye of the beholder - seek out some inexpensive, quality treasures and "re-birth" upcycle them and make a space within your home as a proud representation of who you are and in that NO ONE else will have anything like yours!
Best!
