'Repurposing' old utility blind.

Maje · Mar 18, 2021

Hi All, I've just replaced my T5 wardrobe utility blind with the newer one having small storage pockets, which now comes as standard. Now...any ideas what I could do with the old one? Has anybody made something else out of it? Shelf? table? Funny hat? Or throw it on auction sites?
Surely there is some other use for it with some adaptations ~ got tools just need inspiration! Thanks for any suggestions!

I’ve done the same but the old one is sitting forlorn on a shelf on the garage so also interested in novel ideas.

What do you mean ...wardrobe utility blind ....wondering what it could be ?
i might be confused due my language difference doh .

Sounds like the plastic slide out blind/screen from wardrobe which covers little window

second bowl for the sink! drill some holes in it to make a drainer or sieve.
perhaps it could clip onto the side of the kitchen cupboard as an additional work surface or a variation on the Briwy shelf.
might make a good half width shelf for the roof bed with a recessed cubby to stop things falling down.
mmm. ideas...

Thanks for the ideas Drpps ~ stuff to investigate at the weekend. Liking the shelving ideas and maybe having it slide into position....hmmm....

Has anyone tried painting the reverse side so when its pulled its black when looking from outside?
I don't know what paint would be OK on the plastic ( I haven't researched yet this is my 1st port of call).
But if anybody knows whats available and won't harm the plastic that would be great.
The reason I want to do it is because I rarely push it back behind the wardrobe.
Thank everyone.
