Sounds like some restaurant where you order sushi, doesn't it? Google it! It's really Going GREEN. Don't throw things away because they are cracked or broken. Find the beauty ALL things! It's a way of life, to re-use or re-purpose useful items! I love this!
I recently found large pickle jars at a yard sale. How cute is the picture of pickle jars? So versatile! Store and display anything that will fit. I'm thinking...clothes pins, wine corks, candle holders (add sand in bottom and add a candle), kitchen canisters,
soaps in the bathroom and the list goes on!
I remember when I worked in a retail store and we would unpack merchandise. I was fascinated by by the packing material. It seemed such a waste to it away. I would have fun just thinking of ways it could be re-used. (We didn't have a recycle program back then. It was the age of waste! You know way back then! We would just send it to the dump!) Now we re-cycle, thank goodness!
Anyway, I am currently painting a bed that I found at the thrift store. It has a beautiful form! You know the type that has spindles, head and foot with the wooden side rails. It is an Ethan Allen solid maple bed. It even came with the slats! I got it for a steal! I'm sure you had one in your house when you were little.
I will post pictures later when I finish the bed. I forgot to take before pictures. I will try to remember for the next project.. But it is going to be SOOO CUTE!
I am in HOG heaven in NW Arkansas, doing what I LOVE! Wabi Sabi!
