    Lightbulb Before and After's for Recycled Items

    ~I don't know if this site have been posted before or not but I just stumbled across it and I see many hours of picture browsing in my future.
    Fabulous redo's on boring, ugly and shabby old stuff. I especially like the changing table into an adorable kiddie kitchen playspot.

    I like that site! Thanks for posting it. I especially like the brown hutch type thing that was painted white. Looks especially nice.

    Oh Constance...I had to literally pull myself away...LOL! I just love these kind of projects, and I have sooo many items right now, including furniture, just waiting for a make-over. I have that same exact upholstered bench in forest green that she re-did in the zebra. I LOVE the make-over....and to think I almost got rid of it. {{{{{shudders}}}} And not only was your link great, but than there's all those links to the links, to the links! EEK, I am sooo in trouble! hee-hee! How will I ever get my work done with all that temptation?? You've got to see how much my list of `faves` has grown!

    Thanks so much for posting (i think HA!)! I'm so inspired!

    Want to see a prime example of "Before" and "After" reusing? Check out this Cast Iron Claw Foot Bathtub Couch!

    greenisuniversal-reuse.com/home-decor/cast-iron-claw-foot-bathtub-couch

    The Cast Iron Claw Foot Bathtub Couch is part of NBCUniversal's current initiative "Green is Universal." This initiative is focused on bringing an environmental perspective to everything NBCUniversal does, informing and entertaining their audiences while driving more sustainable practices into their own operations.

    I'm helping NBCUniversal spread the word about their "Green is Universal" campaign, so let me know if anyone has questions.
