There's something about a splash of red that adds energy 
as well as old fashioned charm to a room.

Greenhouses Made With Salvaged Windows

Think it's too early to thinking about and planning for spring? Never!

As a matter of fact, now is the perfect time to begin planning your yard and gardens, 
and for more reasons than one. First of all, it's wise to plan ahead and be prepared, 
but even more beneficial  (at least in my eyes) is the lift your spirits get when you
envision the warmer weather, the blooming flowers, and all the other things that
come along with springtime. 

What better way to recycle old windows than build them into a unique garden greenhouse

 or potting shed? Check out what some creative folks have crafted using reclaimed old 

windows and doors, and maybe you'll be inspired to create your own!

I love all the elements - and colors - of this pretty greenhouse

Art From Reclaimed Wood Shipping Pallets

Wood shipping pallets are one of the hottest items being repurposed and upcycled 

today. We've seen potting benches, tables, all types of furniture, and the list goes on.

One of my favorite ways to see old pallets being upcycled is when they are

 turned into some type of art. 

Here are a few that you may find interesting...
