Oh there are plenty more where they came from....
Does it show that I'm obsessed with repurposing and have way too much time on my hands?! :P

I came across this – it might be easy enough to knock something together in the same style without having to break out the power tools!!

These pine shelving units are fairly inexpensive and the shelf positions are adjustable – when my son was little I used to leave the top space quite big and run a bungee rope around the top to hang his clothes from. I was able to adjust it back to normal when he graduated to a wardrobe :P

Seaweed lamps – aren’t they beautiful? :D

Great idea for those old punctured inflatable sofas and chairs…. OK this one’s full of rubbish, but I think it’d look really cute in a kids room filled with squishy stuff like soft toys, cushions etc.

Decoupage gone mad…. This is stunning (and so is the price tag LOL)…. But is anyone else thinking aluminium foil?!!

Paper flowers – a few garlands of these would really brighten up a little girls’ room

If you have a check in any of the two euro shops, a lot of them do those big PVC zip-up bags with handles – they’re great for toys etc. and they often have nice colours & patterns (see pic).

The other pic is just an idea for re-using the big 5 litre water bottles - I cut a lump out of the top and fill them with the various cleaning stuff I need for each room, that way I only have to grab the relevant bottle for whatever room I'm doing.
