All Of The Lights

I have been tinkering around and fixing up old lamps lately. Apparently, you can transform almost anything into a lamp with some imagination, a hanging light kit and some items you would never think would be associated with a lamp. The lamp projects below are some of my favorites.

Also, if you need some help on how to re-wire a lamp, check out this Apartment Therapy post.

Recycling Denim

How many pairs of jeans do you own that are too old or don't fit? I know I have quite a few. What to do with those old jeans? Well, there are many options. You can make them into something new or you can donate them to the fantastic organization, Cotton.From Blue to Green. They take your old denim and turn it into insulation for houses built for Habitat for Humanity. Check out a few of my favorite denim rehabs below!
