To think we actually bought a “toy kitchen” from the store (sad face!). I constantly stare at the monstrosity thinking, “for that damn price I could have done so much better in a weekend”. For those Dads with new kiddos and an itch to create a tree house, I would suggest starting with something like this. Little ladies get the kitchen and little gentle-dudes get garages (or vice versa…I actually want a hybrid of both). The unfortunate part is that at the end of the build, you will probably like the kids finished project better than your own kitchen / garage. Live and learn…GO BUILD!!

Turn and old, outdated entertainment stand into a play kitchen for your kids for a lot less than it would cost to buy one this nice! What little girl wouldn’t want one of these?

Creative Reuse Store in YOUR community! Learn the basics of how to get one up and running, take donations and make you and the community HUNDREDAIRES! Get some good information from the linked Good.is article.

SerpentSea mats made from repurposed / reclaimed sailing rope. Creator, Sophie Aschauer weeves these mats together with 4 different types of knots (four more knots than I know…sad). She makes awesome key rings too!

Material Requests:

We have been getting requests lately for raw materials and I thought the RG masses (small but great!) would be able to help.  If you know where to get some discarded material OR have discarded material you would like to donate to fellow repurposers, let me know and I will connect you.

The specific requests are as followed:

  1. Unfinished Rattan
  2. Pallets in Knoxville, Tennessee
  3. Pallets in Atlanta, Georgia

Thanks for the help and let’s talk!

I have ALWAYS wondered what to stick in the end of my drop handles (Old Bike, since gone, single tear). This is genius  I need a new beater bike…with a few gears this time.

It’s wine o’clock (somewhere), so time to share an adult beverage-related repurposing find.

Theatre seating with pallets….this could work!

A few pallets, paint them white and make a cushion that looks like an ice cream sandwich. Brilliant. I need one of these…now to find a DIY on making couch pillows.

I have always had a soft spot for hollowed out books. I like this.

Clever use of plastic oil cans and caps!

Back in the day I was part of a team that developed a pizza box that broke down into a set of plates and eventually into a smaller box to store leftover pizza in. This idea is brilliant…because I need a laptop stand AND like the smell of pizza. 

unconsumption:

I always enjoy coming across reuse ideas on sites where I don’t expect to find such things … like Buzzfeed! But this post about what to do with pizza boxes is pretty cool:

So you can’t recycle them and they don’t fit in your trash can. Earn a few extra karma points with the earth by making these practical projects.
