rePurpose.space (“RPS”) is a social publishing and community platform that provides a central place for people to share and discuss before-and-after transformation stories that repurpose materials, spaces, habits, systems, and more.

On our platform, a “before-and-after” story isn’t just about aesthetic change. It’s about transformation with purpose — we call this a rePurpose transformation. That means the shift from “before” to “after” should reflect meaningful intention, reuse or repurposing, sustainability, or a deeper shift in value, use, or mindset — not just a simple makeover.

What we mean by “RePurpose transformation”:

• The “before” state shows something in its original or underused context (or a problem-state).

• The “after” state shows how that thing was repurposed, given new value or life, used differently, or transformed intentionally with sustainability, functionality, or narrative at the core.

• The story emphasizes why the transformation happened, how it was achieved (material, process, intention), and what new purpose it serves.

What doesn’t count (or counts less):

• Purely aesthetic makeovers where the original object or context remains fundamentally the same purpose (e.g., “we painted the wall a new color”).

• Generic “before vs after” photos without any backstory or intention behind the change.

• Paid advertising-style “before/after” where the transformation is primarily about selling something rather than re-using, re-imagining, or re-purposeing.

Examples of great “RePurpose transformation” stories

• 🪑 Turning an old wooden door into a stylish dining table (object repurpose).

• 🧠 Reframing negative thinking into a daily gratitude practice (mindset repurpose).

• 🏫 Transforming a traditional classroom into a project-based learning hub (system repurpose).

• 🌎 Giving leftover food a second life through composting or community sharing (resource repurpose).

• 💡 Using AI tools to breathe new life into old creative projects (technology repurpose).

Yes. We protect your data and never sell it to third parties. You control what profile information is public, and moderation ensures the space stays respectful and constructive.

Anything that shows creativity in repurposing—whether it’s materials, spaces, habits, or even systems. No spam, offensive material, or unrelated self-promotion. Keep it relevant, respectful, and inspiring. 

If you’re unsure whether something fits, our Community Guidelines offer helpful examples and deeper context to make posting easy and welcoming for everyone.

They’re encouraged because they tell a powerful visual story—but they’re not required. A thoughtful description or idea alone is welcome.

Not at all! You don’t have to be the creator. Stories are welcome whether you’ve created, experienced, or discovered the transformation.
If it moved you, taught you something, or deserves to be seen, it belongs here.

Private forums are for creators who publish their own rePurpose stories. Once you post your first story, you become an Author, and those spaces open up for you.
