I need to get this one off of my chest too: repurposed. It's a great word, and I'm all behind the concept of it. But every design show on HGTV is abusing it. And simultaneously misusing it.
If you take the table out of the living room, and turn it into a headboard, that is repurposing it. You have given it a new purpose. If you take a table out of the living room, and put it in the den, you are not repurposing it. The purpose is the same - it is still a table. You are just MOVING it.
Which, I know, doesn't sound as cool as "repurposing", but as we all know, I'd rather be accurate than cool. Obviously, I've given up on cool.
