You hear these words all the time……….
Recycle
Reuse
Repurpose
What's the difference you ask?
Well here's a good example:
Recycle:
You may recall this ugly Ikea set I found in the trash recently.
I saved it from the dumpster.
(That's recycling.)
Reuse:
A little spray paint,
and I have a like-new child's set!
Perfect for dining, or playing…….
(That's reusing.)
But the set hasn't sold………
it's still sitting right here in my dining room.
(That's aggravating.)
So a thought occurred to me:
I have three of these old plaster bases……..
which I use in the front of my house for plant stands…….
Garden stuff is hot right now,
so in the car they go to sell in my booth.
Repurpose:
Guess what I'm now using for plant stands?
Yep, there they are.
A little nontraditional,
but they work.
(That's repurposing.)
The table is the perfect size for the deck…
I whipped up a slipcover and now it's an ottoman!
And the last two chairs are up on the deck now, too...
They've made friends with a couple of houseplants.
The wheels are always turning..
And that, my friends, is why nothing ever stays the same
over here at the SheShe ranch.
Have a great week!
I'm Greenwood bound.
