Tie One On

Every time I go to the thrift store I see so many great patterned ties. My Dad also has some old ties that are not getting any use and thanks to the ideas below, I may be raiding his closet.  Need some upcycled tie inspiration?  Check out a few of my favorites below.

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!

Upcycled Electronics

I spent way too much time on Etsy today and found these great upcycled electronics projects. My favorite? The pink tube radio turned mp3 player. Swoon.
