Every once in awhile, I'll open my closet and see something that causes me to shake my head and wonder, "What on earth was I thinking, and why do I still have this?!" What seemed like a great idea at the time, would now be fashion suicide should I actually slip it on and leave the house. Sometimes the item goes straight into the Goodwill bag, but there are also times when my Vintage Rescue lightbulb goes on. I see beyond the jacket's silly majorette neckline and wild, stacked cuffs and envision what could be a cool home decor project. My denim jacket lives again as a whimsical throw pillow.
Vintage Rescue: Button Front Pillow
The button jar. Most every house has one. It may not be a jar; it could a box or a lid or a cup or even a sock. A lot of us spent hours at Grandma's house playing with these beautiful chips of color. Although they do look pretty in pile, they really deserve to see the light of day. Give them new life as awesome accents and embellishments on your home decor projects.

Vintage Rescue: Hankie Pillow
Vintage Envelope Pillow
You have a piece of linen from Great-Grandma with a beautiful lace trim. But you don't use it because of stains or damage to one side. This simple pillow project is a great way to use the good half of your heirloom. And you can choose a fabric that will coordinate with your current decorating. This envelope pillow was made with a vintage dresser runner that had stains on all but one corner.
