Ivey’s Repurpose

A frugal D.I.Y. fanatic who enjoys quality built stuff!!! Whether it is an old car or a well built vintage piece of furniture. I love it all… I am a school teacher by day who thrives on watching students create their own learning. I have a beautiful wife (Nena) and 3 amazing kiddos (Cruz, Kross, & Ardyn).

Ivey’s Repurpose began after building a new house in the fall of 2012 as my wife and I hoped to fill our house with new furniture. After looking at furniture for months, I couldn’t believe how over-priced and cheaply built many furniture pieces were. The frugal side of me said, “I can build this kind of furniture.” After studying people like Anne Sloan and Ana-White, I knew I could build quality pieces for our house. However, I knew that in order for my wife to put old furniture in our new house, it had to look good. This site will show my process and give you insight to all my passions…I hope you enjoy…
