Creative recycling

Belfast is a great city to go dumpster diving in!!! There are tons of construction projects all over the city and every one is in such a hurry to finish their project and move on the next that they often throw away perfectly good building materials. I then "reappropriate" These materials and recycle them into things for our house. Its a really good way of recycling because it cuts out the cost and waste of professional collection and reproduction. So here are a few creations straight from the skips of Belfast to you:



I forgot to rotate the picture but you get the idea. This is a book shelf i made for jessica's desk from an old dresser drawer. its made of recycled wood, found nails, and leftover paint we had in the house.

Well sorry. The picture upload function on here is acting funny and won't let me do the rest. I'll try later today. Bye
