Repurposing one item and transforming it into something more
functional and wayyyyy cooler is – sadly – one of my greatest thrills in life.
And the following may be my greatest re-creation yet.
I will give a virtual high-five to the reader who guesses
what these printed rabbit fur pillows once were.
…Or, I can just tell you. Once upon a time, those pillows
were actually a vintage fur coat. Though the coat was delicate (and by that I
mean the lining was attached to the seams like patches of psoriasis) and a little
too big (and by that I mean I was a gold tooth away from being a pimp), I loved
the print, and knew that one day this piece would come in handy. A couple years
later, in a stroke of genius, I realized that its greater purpose was to become
an unconventional piece of furniture. And, viola! Stylin' pillows.
Now, if I can only figure out what to do with the sleeves of
the coat… leg warmers, anyone?
A belt as a necklace? A headband as a bracelet? What
accessory item have you repurposed?
