My husband is an upcycle extraordinaire. His latest passion is rummaging through construction sites for palettes of wood. Let’s see what he has made recently:
Here are the palettes before he breaks them down.

Check out the work space he has created for himself

Notice the counter. It was a counter top he found in the dumpster on a construction site. The “shelves” are actually drawers that someone was throwing out.

Look closely at the containers. They are all re-used glass jars and coffee tins.

One last look at his ingenuity.

Oh doesn’t that squash look wonderful!

Finally a picnic table for the kids. I am told that chairs are next.

I saved my favorite for last. This cost us less then $30 start to finish. Someone gave us the aquarium years ago and it just sat in our garage. The filter was also a gift. We had three Guppies and I got four Mollys for $4. We had the gravel from an art project I did a few years back. The only thing that we really paid for was the supporting 2x4s.

That is so cool! I wish we had the know how to make a compost bin like that!
