The useless display rack –  Η άχρηστη ραφιέρα

This week’s theme seems to be all about my daughter’s blue room makeover.  I have already shown you a few of the projects I’ve worked on in her room, the desk organizer, the corner hanger and the bookcase, which includes a box for ear plugs and more boxes.  Here is another thing I am using to update her room.  I believe in another lifetime it must have been a display shelf for a retail store. Try as I did, I could not for the life of me put it together. So I gave up! 

Το θέμα της φετινής εβδομάδας φαίνεται να είναι όλα σχετικά με την ανακαίνιση του μπλε δωματίου της κόρης μου.  Σας έχω ήδη δείξει  μερικά από τα έργα που έχω τελειώσει στο δωμάτιό της, ο διοργανωτής γραφείου, κρεμάστρα στη γωνιά και βιβλιοθήκη, η οποία περιλαμβάνει ένα κουτι  για ωτοασπίδες και περισσότερα κουτιά. Εδώ έχω ένα άλλο πράγμα που  θα  χρησιμοποιήσω για το δωμάτιό της. Πιστεύω σε μια άλλη ζωή θα πρέπει να ήταν μια ραφιέρα  για ένα κατάστημα λιανικής πώλησης. Προσπάθησα, αλλά δεν  μπορούσα να το συνδέσω. Έτσι τα παράτησα!

Inspiration, The Useless Display Rack theboondocksblog
This is a copy of a painting that my daughter loves, Amedeo Modigliani’s ‘Jeanne Hebuterne’.  We chose to decorate the room with this painting as the inspiration. In other words, Black/White, blue and a touch of coral/orange. 

Αυτό είναι ένα αντίγραφο ενός πίνακα ζωγραφικής που η κόρη μου αγαπά,  η «Jeanne Hebuterne» του Amedeo Modigliani . Εμείς επιλέξαμε να διακοσμήσουμε το δωμάτιο με αυτή την ζωγραφιά ως πηγή έμπνευσης. Με άλλα λόγια, Μαύρο / Λευκό, μπλε και μια πινελιά του κοραλλιού / πορτοκαλί.

I found this beautiful black and white chiffon fabric which used to be a blouse in another lifetime! I cut it into strips and attached it to the wire grid. And here is the end result. 

Βρήκα αυτό το υπέροχο μαύρο και λευκό ύφασμα σιφόν, που ηταν μια μπλούζα σε μια άλλη ζωή! Το  έκοψα σε λωρίδες και τα πέρασα στο συρμάτινο πλέγμα. Και εδώ είναι το τελικό αποτέλεσμα.

By using this wire grid I was able to gather all of her lovelies in one area, without having to hammer 20 nails into the wall. 

Με τη χρήση αυτού του συρμάτινου πλέγμα μπόρεσα να συγκεντρώσω το σύνολο των αγαπημένων πραγμάτων της σε μια περιοχή, χωρίς να χρειάζεται να βάλω 20 καρφιά στον τοίχο.

It is  light and airy, it is a repurpose, we can add onto it in the future, but most of all she loves it!  A win-win situation here!!

Είναι φωτεινό και αέρινο, είναι ένα επαναπροσδιόρισμα, μπορούμε να προσθέσουμε σε αυτό και άλλα αντικείμενα στο μέλλον, αλλά πάνω απ ‘όλα το λατρεύει! Μια κερδισμένη  κατάσταση εδώ !!

      Thanks so much Wendi! I know that link on my comments has a problem with the local network. I checked with the blog people and they said there is nothing to be done. So glad you made it over here!

    What a clever repurpose Mary! This is a fun way to display some of your daughter favorite collectible. I love the fabric that you added around the edges of the wire frame. My oldest granddaughter would love something like this.

      It was a super simple way to make a bulletin board as Florence calls it. And so much fun!

    Mary, you should have a booth over there in Greece, but I guess they don’t have antique malls like they do here. You have so many neat repurposes & recreations that would fit well in that situation. This is such a nice “bulletin board” for your daughter’s room. So what are you going to do now with that rack?? Can’t wait to see!

      Florence if only they had antique malls, I’d be one happy girl! I also repurposed the rest into a hanging organizer. Here is the link.
