Finding Repurpouse in the New Year......

I apologize in advance for gloating about the amazing California weather we are having this week.  It currently is 75 degrees outside.  I know that many of you are in below freezing weather and so this blog is really for you and when all you California friends start having rainy weather that drives you inside, you can re-read this and do some of these wonderful projects.

Art and decoration are two of my favorite things on Earth.  Being green about it makes me even happier.  In exploring the blogosphere I have chosen some of the ideas I like the best: 

Book-Inspired Centerpieces
If you're a bookworm with an e-reader now, you may find that your old books are collecting more dust than ever before. Though we're all for donating them to a library, save a few choice hardcovers and get creative. We love the idea of turning them into mini shelf displays, hide-a-key vessels or even coffee table centerpieces. Here some great ideas.

Color Wheel Design
For the moms out there who may be sick of seeing half used crayons go to waste why not create some funky art to hang in kids' rooms or in the den? We love the idea of melting some crayons to a canvas. Super simple, colorful and a great way to get rid of left-over crayons the kids have forgotten about. I found this project its totally worth checking out.

Vases Aren't Just for Flowers
If you are like me you have dozens of vases hanging around the house collected from arrangements over the years.  Use them to decorate.  Here are 11 ways to reuse a vase.

Go Big with the Dresser
Do you have a dresser hiding in a back room or closet because it has seen better days? Revamp it and use as an end table, decorative storage, the possibilities are endless. Try this article for great ideas and help.
