Repurpose - Reuse - Recycle

A monthly post to (hopefully) inspire you to look at old things in a new way.

The Windows 7 Edition


Head on over to Craftmams Drive to see how Mr LMB incorporated 
an old window into stylish and rustic bathroom cabinet.

Donna over at Funky Junk Interiors used one to create a 
sign for her dining room.

They can be used to make a cold frame just like this one 
from Home Talk.

You could remove the glass and replace with mirrors like 
Monica from Crafty Nest did.

Lastly, you could use them to add extra living space to your home.

A Slight Change In (Garden) Plans

It seems that I'm not happy unless I'm changing things around, I was certainly not happy with the way the vegetable garden was looking. I have been wanting to add more flowers to the vegetable garden for a while now so I sacrificed just over two metres of growing space for that purpose, which still left me with ten garden beds. When my girls gave me a greenhouse for my birthday I thought it would look good in the middle of what would become the flower garden. I also added my two plums trees and an insect hotel as well as three Salvias "Joan", "Hot Lips" and an unnamed blue one, Senicio "Vira Vira" and a Lion's Ear plant. The space very quickly became too crowded and getting in to water the plants and fill up the bee/butterfly dish behind the plum trees was quite difficult.
