Creative Reuse - The Art Space

One day Ame and I were having a nosy over the neighbours fence and we spotted a skip, they were doing a big clear out. I noticed that just next to the skip was a giant wooden box.. the cogs started churning and I just had to pop over and see if they were getting rid of it. They were. I was delighted. I had no idea what I would use it for I just knew that I had to have it. After much huffing and puffing and twisting and dragging with Ame trailing me on her scooter I got the box to my apartment (with strange looks from some other neighbors non of whom offered to help might I add.) Ame was delighted with her new box and I hadn't even done anything to it at this point. I thought that I would share the finished product, an Art Space.


I see it changing over time as Ame's interests change a puppet theatre perhaps or a fort or a mini stage for dress ups. I can picture a huge vintage suitcase filled with Ame's dress ups sitting on top with some deep red curtains and a mini spot light... oh I cant wait. When she out grows it it will make a great raised garden bed filled with strawberry or chill plants.. oh the possibilities!

A Crafty Creative Re-Use

Hi Everyone,

This week I got crafty with some old crockery and glassware and thought that I would share the idea with you. It only took me five minutes and a little glue to complete and the end result was well worth it. I think it would make a lovely gift idea too so I might make a few more. To make this three tier cake stand all you need is three plates and two small wine or sherry glasses and some high strength craft glue. Here is the end result.


Here are a few by professionals for inspiration, I love the idea of the china cup vase at the top.





So the next time you think about throwing out that odd plate or mismatched glass hold back I am sure you will find a use for it, for some ides on how to re-use other household items have a look at one of our old posts, The Creative Re-use
