Lately, we’ve been struggling with the decision of what to put in our Hearth room in our new house. It’s the little space open to the kitchen and it has a fireplace and a TV. Do we put a sofa there, a daybed, or a chaise lounge? Or should we just wait for baby a la mode to get here and make it a little play area with squishy mats? In an effort to find the perfect little furniture piece, I happened to stumble upon the site Recreate. It seriously one of the best online Repurposed Furniture stores out there with unique designs all the way from Cape Town, South Africa!
loving the fabric of this suitcase chair! and the fact it’s a suitcase is just SO cool!
this cute ottoman is made out of a hatbox and you can take off the cushion and store things inside as well, like kid’s toys, *wink wink*
this headboard is pure gorgeousness, would love to wake up next to it every day!
a teacup lamp would go perfectly in the room since we have a display case for our teacups off the hearth room too.
it’s a typewriter, oh wait, it’s a lamp, how clever!
and lastly, one of my favorites, a scale turned into a clock! love the colors!
So what do you think? Does this inspire some of you to want to do your own DIY? Or are you inspired to go out and buy something repurposed? And more importantly, any suggestions for what to put in a Hearth room would be greatly appreciated!! 😀
GORGEOUS! I’ve found so many suit case redo’s lately and love them all!
if you can fit a little daybed or an armless chaise it would the perfect place to read a book, sip some tea, or eventually read to the little one. I like the lines and low profile of the Ikea Klippan chaise in a fun color. Check out custom slipcovers!
I’ve seen this website, too! I love the idea of a chair/suitcase!
Def inspired to do my own DIY. I’m just a touch lazy these days!
Oh I love these, so fun!
i seriously love repurposed or upcycled things. i love to see a piece of furniture and figure how i can give it a new look. that shop looks amazing. the typewriter lamp is unique!

I love the hatbox ottoman! So cute.
These are awesome. I’m inspired to get that suitcase chair 🙂

I adore these! So quirky yet oddly classy and fun. I think your hearth room should be a reading room. So romantic!

Oh, that clock! *swoon* So pretty. 😉
P.S. I like the new blog look!
eeeeee!!! I love absolutely EVERYTHING!!!! How clever! That chair, the tea cup lamp and even the weight with the pretty bowl on top!!! {I saw a weigh at a thrift store last weekend, but I passed it by because it was broken, now I wish I had picked it up so I could have attached a pretty bowl on top!!!!!}
Have a terrific weekend Sandy!!

Gorgeous!! I can imagine a little nook with all these fabulous pieces. However, I’m pretty sure your space will be lovely as a play area. Otherwise, you’ll be overwhelmed with toys around your house 🙂

The suitcase chair definitely makes me want to make my own!
