Barbara Pagani's Tresor Cache 101

Here is a site that I came across through  http://www.housetweaking.com/2010/10/12/humanite-where-fashion-upcycled-decor-intersect/  called,  hu manité:  dwelling.  style.  compassion. I love the use of recycled, upcycled items for the designs in the store.

Another amazing recycling project from  http://howaboutorange.blogspot.com/2010/07/how-to-make-gift-bags-from-newspaper.html

I love this idea to re-use old t-shirts from  http://xoelle.com/2009/05/t-shirt-latch-hook-rug-tutorial/ \ Supplies: Latch hook canvas latch hook tool old t-shirts scissors or rotary cutting tool/mat seam binding masking tape dye (optional)

Here is another great idea from my favorite bloggers " Design Sponge" on how to recycle old light fixtures into planters. http://www.designspongeonline.com/2011/04/we-like-it-wild-recycled-fixture-planters.html/comment-page-1#comment-213109 I will be updating this blog shortly to include some of the light fixtures that I had here in the house when I boutght it 25 years ago which are really cool with flat bases. No need for any power tools

I always have modge podge for all the little projects that I do with decoupage but wait until you see what Jennifer does with it to revamp some Ikea furniture at : http://livedinhome.com/2011/03/16/coffee-table-ikea-hack/#comment-57 Isn't this something Mr. Man would allow me to do? Got to get on it, one idea/project at a time.

Check this wonderful idea from http://thriftythinking.wordpress.com/2011/03/30/genie-in-a-bottle/#comment-11 Just too cute....you know how much I just love glass and bottles.
