A New Life
16Jan13
There are some amazingly creative minds out there especially when it comes to repurposing and upcycling. Even though I am huge on recycling, I admit that I probably wouldn’t have thought of many of these ideas, washtub chandeliers, seats made from tires, a pool made from an old dumpster, shoe organizers as wall planters, and a bird house made from an old pan are just not things that pop into this grey matter. So please join me in a big thank you to those who guide us to take another look at something we are ready to toss. pb

Wish I was handy, I think about making things like this but they never really look right.
Same here.
LUV the yellow pail idea. I’m going to have to post that pic in FB.
That was one of my favorites as well!
Wow! So many interesting stuff, loved it!
It really does make you think twice about getting rid of stuff doesn’t it?
Confidence is the key if you are interested in creating anything
