The Vintage Bricoleur offers a variety of unique and useful finds for your decorating needs. Being the practical person that I am, I am always looking for items that can be both pretty and at the same time serve a purpose.
bricoleur
(Noun) French:
One who makes creative and resourceful use
of whatever materials are at hand
regardless of their original purpose.
How about a vintage door with a mirror in it for a backdrop to a dresser? Or a basket to hold a collection of silver plate?
Pretty old jars are great for storing food in the pantry or for organizing threads and buttons in the craft room.
A chippy ladder is an excellent plant stand, works well for a book shelf, or quilt rack.
A metal stand paired with some primitive bead board make a perfect side table.
A long wood box with shelves built in to it is a great bookcase or display for small spaces.
This metal headboard/footboard hung side-by-side on the wall would be a great headboard for a bigger bed. Love the color!
These rolls of burlap are so pretty draped around a window or used as a table runner.
Come get your "bricoleur" shirt. Available at the store, both in Men & Women styles.
So...
Have these photos inspired you to use something similar in your home? Do you need something like this to complete a project? Did you come up with a different idea than what I suggested?
Please share what you are thinking. I love comments. :)
