added by Vanessa Brunner to Collections: Create Art With the Things You Love

Put a simple collection of antique dishware on contrasting industrial shelving for a rustic and vintage look.

added by Shawn Gauthier to Affordable Finds for College and Beyond

If you're short on kitchen storagee, get clever by hanging an old nesting box. You'll likely be able to find one for not too much money at antique shops or flea markets, and it will give you a chance to display your fun dishware instead of hiding it.

added by Melissa Alvarado Sierra to Perfectly Imperfect: Weathered Details for Your Home

Can you believe this used to be a nesting box? It was given new life as a box to display vintage finds. Rusty? Yes. Beautiful? Definitely!

added by Becky Harris to 12 Amazing Reuses for Quirky Vintage Items

What is it? A nesting nook for birds.What is it doing in its new life? Providing a nest for sweet vintage pitchers and jars inside the house. Requirements: Lots of elbow grease to make sure it's clean and sanitary; someone who knows how to hang something level and find studs; two people to hang it.

added by Martine Resnick to 9 Sweet Ideas for an English Cottage Laundry Room

6. Hunt down old industrial items. Reuse old farm or industrial items to add an old rustic finish to your laundry room. Use as shelving for sheets, to store jars of laundry detergent and clothespins, or to display a collection — such as old milk jugs, mason jars or vintage linens. You can leave your find in the original metal finish (rust adds character) or buy one of the many available colors of metal spray paint. Make sure you buy a metal primer too.More industrial-style accessories
