Paula from Virginia Sweet Pea took something that all of us throw away (or recycle at best!) nearly every week – plastic bottles. With a little imagination and a few cans of spray paint she used this recycled craft to give some color to her front door. The pastel colors are the perfect pop for {…Read More…}

Elise from Creativity in DIY made over this trashed chair into a really cool doily graphic design. She found the chair waiting for the garbage man at a neighbor’s house.

Mismatched Spoon Flower Wreath

My dear friend Jen from Tatertots & Jello has had some luck with Freeycle. I prefer just curb shopping myself but she has scored quite a few gems on Freecycle. She scored a bunch of silver spoons and created a flower that she used on one of her many wreaths a couple of years back. {…Read More…}
