REUSE

I am extremely into rehabbing things right now. I love the idea of taking something old and redoing it to make it new again. Not only to do save some money by buying using old things or thrifting some items, but your saving the earth to by not buying new products!!! Win Win!

Here are some amazing finds I found on design sponge.  You should really check out this site.  It is full of great ideas, diys,  and loads of other swell things.  My girl Sarah hooked me up with this site and I love her for it.

What do you have in your home that you can remake to really go with your style?  Any room you are dying to redo?  What do you have lying around you could add a coat of spray paint to to make it modern?  Goodwill finds?  Hand me downs?

Do you know of any good re-use examples you have seen or done yourself?  Email me and lets see your rad ideas!  -nicole
