The Twine Lady Returns

So now that I have started taking this blogging thing a bit more seriously, I…

So now that I have started taking this blogging thing a bit more seriously, I thought that maybe it’s time to get a bit more organized in my work space. All you bloggers out there know exactly what I am talking about.  I have a wall space on top of my desk which is empty right now, next to the frames that I recently upcycled (see here).

Τώρα που έχω αρχίσει να παίρνω αυτό το μπλογκινγκ πράγμα λίγο πιο σοβαρά σκέφτηκα ότι ίσως ήρθε η ώρα να οργανώσω το χώρο εργασίας μου. Έχω έναν  άδειο χώρο στον τοίχο πάνω από το γραφείο μου, δίπλα στις κορνίζες που ανανέωσα πρόσφατα (βλέπετε εδώ).

I wanted to add something light  and airy that would serve as a display for my odds and ends. Now, you may remember this old thing that I had shown to you a few months back.

Ήθελα να προσθέσω κάτι ελαφρύ και αέρινο, που θα χρησιμεύσει για να  εκθέτω  τα αγαπημένα μου και τα χαρτιά μου. Τώρα, θα θυμάστε αυτό το παλιό πράγμα που σας είχα δείξει πριν λίγους μήνες.

Old wire display to be repurposed The Twine Lady Returns www.theboondocksblog.com
It  was a wire rack.  I had used the back part of it to make my daughter’s display grid for her wall.  

Ήταν μια σχάρα. Είχα χρησιμοποιήσει το πίσω μέρος για να κάνω πλέγμα προβολής  για τον τοίχο της κόρης μου.
​
Well  it was time to use some more parts. I took two of  the wire shelves and spray painted them white. 

Λοιπόν ήρθε η ώρα να χρησιμοποιήσω και άλλα κομμάτια. Πήρα δύο από τα συρματένια    ράφια και τα έκανα σπρέι.

I wanted to combine them together and create a display grid, but with a little more character.  Enter “the Twine Lady”.  I  wrapped them together and made a larger piece using some twine.  

Ήθελα να τα συνδυάσω και να δημιουργήσω ένα πλέγμα, αλλά με λίγο περισσότερο χαρακτήρα.  Επιστροφή ”της Κυρία Σπάγγου”. Τα τύλιξα μαζί και έκανα ένα  μεγάλο κομμάτι χρησιμοποιώντας το σπάγγο.

And after much twine wrapping on my part I was finished and had this:

Και μετά από πολύ τύλιγμα  είχα τελειώσει:

Using clothespins I was able to just add all of my inspirational clips and any paper work that needs to be in front of me at all times.

Χρησιμοποιώντας μανταλάκια πρόσθεσα εμπνευσμένα κλιπ και εργασίες που πρέπει να είναι μπροστά μου ανά πάσα στιγμή.

 With the clothespins it is easy to add and remove and it gives a nice rustic touch.

Με τα μανταλάκια είναι εύκολο να προσθέσω και να αφαιρέσω και δίνει μια ωραία ρουστίκ αίσθηση.

Here you can see how I wrapped the two racks together and created a surprisingly strong piece. 

Εδώ μπορείτε να δείτε πώς τύλιξα τα δύο ράφια μαζί και δημιούργησα ένα εκπληκτικά  ανθεκτικό   κομμάτι.

After all this hard work I think I deserve a functional and pretty area to display my things. What do you think of my solution?  

Μετά από όλη αυτή τη σκληρή δουλειά νομίζω ότι μου αξίζει μια λειτουργική και όμορφη περιοχή για να εκθέτω τα πράγματά μου. Τι γνώμη έχετε για λύση μου;

  1. Mary, you should have your own television show! You could make something out of anything. Other people’s junk becomes a treasure in your hands, and your creative mind. I love this display area! You can do so much with it, and yes, you deserve a gorgeous space to inspire you! This is it!

    1. Nikki, I deserve a clean desk, where I can find my essentials. After that I am not so demanding. As for the tv show, we’ll leave that to the beauties. I much prefer behind the camera work. Being the boss wouldn’t be so bad.

  2. Mary, this is so cute! What a great way to reuse a wire rack! I have one myself that I’m thinking of doing this to now… And I love the pieces you chose to display!

    1. Thank you Victoria. I always like to look at pretty pictures and family to inspire me. This is quite easy, just make sure you pull the twine tight if you want to attach pieces. Let me know if you do it. 🙂

    1. Thank you linda for pinning. Now all I have to do is look up instead of sifting through a pile of papers.

    1. Debbie, you get me!! All the junk, em inportant stuff off the desk and in front of me where I can work with it.

  5. Hi Mary,
    I love how you recycle things and make them useful for something else. This looks great.
    Thanks for sharing this idea at Cooking and Crafting with J&J.
    Julie

    1. Julie, I like to think that repurposing is what I do best, otherwise there would be no purpose to this blog. Thank you for visiting and for your sweet words. It is greatly appreciated.

  6. Hi, Mary ~ Fun project! I love the texture that the twine adds. Thanks for sharing with us at the Merry Monday Link Party! Hope to see you again on Sunday night!

  7. Oh my word Mary. I swear you have the patience of a saint with that twine! I hear you on the organising. That’s my (temporary) middle name. I’m drowning in my sewing at the moment. Clever idea! Thanks for sharing at Five Star Frou-Frou. Will you join me again this week? Mimi xxx

    1. Mimi. my middle name is The twine lady. I have done a number of projects using it and I really love it for the texture it provides. And also because it is a bonding agent. Can’t wait to see what you sew. I’ll see you at the party!

    1. Thanks so much, sorry I didn’t make it either can’t stand those permalinks. I’ll be back next week.

  9. What a great idea! It’s really unique and would definitely catch one’s eye in a room. Great upcycling idea.
    Thanks for linking up to #LifeLovingLinkie
    Sally @ Life Loving

    1. Sally thanks so much. Now that I have it on the wall, it really makes quite a statement, and as a bonus, I can actually find my papers.

    1. I’m so happy with it Hayley, althought now I’ve loaded lots of inspirational pics on it. But at least I can find them.

  13. Mary, you are the queen of ‘waste not, want not”! you let nothing go to waste. This is such a versatile idea.

  14. Wrapping with twine was just the right solution for this project. It gives the piece some texture and character as well as making a strong connection between the two pieces. It looks very nice and is quite functional!

    1. The twice makes the piece Carol. Otherwise it would have been just another lifeless rack. And of course it is extremely practical. Thank you.

    1. Debbie, luckily for me this blogging thing is coming along and the display rack has been a real help
