Upcycling

I'm sure we all remember in grade school learning about reusing, reducing, and recycling. But, it's 2009 folks. It's time to upcycle. It's better than recycling. It's turning trash into a higher quality product. Something you would use instead of said object.

I took an old book and lamp cord and turned it into a whole new look. I cheated a bit and bought a new lamp shade, though. You can blame this on Deb, too. I didn't have enough time before the end of today to shop for a used lamp shade to match.



Are you looking for a unique gift to give someone this Christmas? Someone who likes books, but wouldn't frown on me for ruining a book to make a lamp out of it? Drop me an e-mail with your zip code and I will give you an estimate.

It's chic. It's hip. It's upcycled. And you know you want it.
