Now isn’t that clever – Part II

I enjoyed putting together my ‘Now isn’t that Clever’ post so much last week that I thought I would do another one again this week! I felt inspired and energised and wanted to go around the house collecting bits I had deemed as ‘junk’ and recycle it into something brilliant (I didn’t actually get as far as that but the intention was there). This week I wanted to take a look at the wonders of recycled lightbulbs and the millions of uses for chalk paint. 

Any of these projects appeal to you?

    LOVE the chalkboard bathroom mirror and cheese board! Blackboard paint is just the greatest thing in DIY-land :-)

    All of the different work with lightbulbs is really cute. Completely impractical for me but cute nonetheless!

    Lovely ideas and collages, Meghan. :)
    PS: Just because you're not a fan of Matt Damon should't stop you from watching 'The Talented Mr. Ripley'. It's an amazing film and the entire cast is impressive. xo

    I'm kind of liking the lightbulb idea and I have -big plans- for chalkboard paint. :)

    Everytime I see something recycled, I think "Hey, I can do that!" but then end up woth a pile of junk... Love those lightbulb flower holders!

    I love the names of the herbs on the rocks, and the labels for the school supplies. All the light bulb projects are awesome! I'm not sure I could pull most of those off though ;)
