Clean Recycling

Rub-A-Dub......

At the recycling yard, I found a perfectly good tub....and a nice resting spot.

Just imagine the things you can find. And what you can use them for.

The possibilities are endless.

This is a cool idea. It can be a DIY project for you....made from one of the many vintage windows we will have in our shop. Grand opening coming ASAP. We have gotten alot of positive feedback on this venture and we are looking forward to opening our doors.

Hope to see you all there!!!

Recycled Houses! Would City of Atlanta Bureau of Buildings ever entertain??

Oh my gosh, the man featured in this article is not only offering practical solutions for housing, but his work is very beautiful and more akin to art...........

Special Wallpaper

This was another gem found on the original plaster walls in a house located in College Park, Georgia.  Drywall was removed and it revealed this bucolic scene - of certainly another place, from another time. The wallpaper is very ornate and colorful, but also very peaceful.

Restroom Break - In Historic, College Park, Georgia

This bathroom toilet was installed in the barn-bathroom in a turn of the century home in College Park, Georgia. This relic of restroom history has been successfully secured and saved from the landfill.  It is available for sale - but not guaranteed to meet current building codes calling for low-flow!

Not necessarily deconstructed.........

I wanted to share a site I stumbled upon:  "http://weburbanist.com/2009/10/12/adaptive-reuse-15-creative-house-home-conversions/

These homes are truly "repurposed". But I really can't imagine hauling groceries up all the stairs in a "billboard house"........
