"My favorite repurposed piece so far that fits this description? A petite lucite side table that now lives in my bathroom. When I first bought it, the table was perfect in my living room. It was small, sleek, and just transparent enough to make the space feel airier. It sat beside my sofa and added a subtle bit of polish to my tiny space by holding a small stack of coasters and a bud vase."
"Too pretty to part with, the table began moving around my apartment. I tried the entryway, but it was too tight. I tried it as a nightstand but really needed storage, which this tiny table lacks. Back by the sofa? Nope; still no space. I was about to give up when I looked toward my bathroom, a space I describe as "charming, if you squint.""
"It's not a big bathroom, and the corner across from the toilet has always been tricky. It's home to a not-so-cute exposed steam pipe that draws the eye for all the wrong reasons. Another flaw? There's not really anywhere to set anything down - no surface for a candle or a book - not even a ledge by the tub."
Living in a small apartment requires creative furniture placement and repurposing. A petite lucite side table moved from the living room to the bathroom solved a lack of surfaces and visual clutter. The clear acrylic kept the bathroom feeling open while adding structure and unexpected sophistication. Trials in the entryway and as a nightstand failed due to size and lack of storage. The bathroom corner opposite the toilet housed an exposed steam pipe and no ledge, so the table provided a spot for magazines, a candle, and a small plant, transforming a utilitarian area into an intentional, styled space.
