Green Room

Nothing is more green than recycling. 

For those of us who collect antiques 

and shop for gently used wares,

we live the green life. 

Sometimes ordinary things can take on a new purpose.

We've all had a time when we used something 

for a purpose outside it's calling  . . .

A coffee cup pencil holder,

a jar holding buttons . . . 

What about bigger things?

Today I bring to you a set of things that

are not only being reused,

but in some cases rethought.

Including a few items from my own home.

But first, a history lesson.

In the 30s this building was an office space.

By the 50s, a small fashion studio

An now you call it home.

You have purchased this building, busted out some walls,

and renovated it. 

You sifted through the remains,

pulled from it some good pieces, and build some new dreams.

The local salvage yard and consignment shop

had a number of things you could put to good use, too.

Modern green living - the old fashioned way.

Doors turned room divider,

a trolley cart coffee table,

 windows frames as decor or a new mirror,
an antique dress form just like the one in my dining room,

a door as a table.

Also included:
4 pendant lights
a bottle, a jar and two styles of edison bulbs

Nesting bowls just like my own (2nd style is CAS-table)

A metal sign that used to hang at a store I worked at in South Station, Boston
(2 styles, worn and worn out)

a 'scissor' lamp with glass bulb,

and an accordion table I finally had to break down and buy I loved it so much.

Well there you have it. 

14 items.

This set is so big I am having to break it up by format.

January 10, 2015 - Hey TS2 players!! Just learned that m0xxa converted the stacked bowls from this set for TS2 - you can find those here! They're gorgeous!!

ALSO - the Folding Door Screen & Window Mirror can be found in this post. WOO!

The S&H Sign, Door Table, Trolly Cart Coffee Table, Accordion Wall Light, and Accordion Table have all been converted to TS2 by m0xxa - you can find them here! 

I hope you enjoy this set as much as I have creating it.

Perhaps it will inspire you to see thing a new way.
