Have you noticed green living inspiration surrounds us everyday? How many times have you heard that anything is possible? Like a fashion designer making a bikini swim suit out of living bees or a university taking a building that was once a prison and redesigning it for an educational facility. Being able to take something that was designed for one purpose and maneuvering it for other purposes is amazing.

Believe it or not you too can do this with the everyday objects that you use everywhere.  Don’t think so, well let’s take a look at others who accomplished this goal and hopefully you in turn will be inspired to do so in your own home.

Lighting Fixtures

Ever thought about using a birdcage for a lighting fixture?   Well someone did. Apparently birdcages are great for adding an eclectic and elegant feel to the room.  Plus, the cage even acts as a light shade for the bulb.  Tell me can you see yourself using this idea?

Wine Holders

Now we know that coffee gives us energy and alertness like no other but did you know that the cans that it comes in could be used as wine holders.  Yep, the sizable circular shape of the can allows for a wide enough space and shape for the wine bottles to fit/sit in nicely.  This person added color to the cans and glued them together for stability but overall I think the idea was a success.

Tables

How about using that worn out luggage for a vintage side table?  Travel is a wonderful experience however the luggage and suitcase sets aren’t so fortunate to embark on all of our journeys so make that luggage apart of your home.  Adding memorabilia from your travels enhances the space and will make the space feel more personal/familiar to you.

Accessories

Wine bottles can have some of the most fun and dynamic shapes known to man.  So someone decided to take that idea and turn their empty wine bottles into accent pieces for their home.  You can do this to just change up the exterior of bottle if you like and set them up in which ever space within your home.

See common objects we see everyday used for different purposes. You can research and find all of these ideas and more.  Become inspired and creative to view the world differently.  Try it out!
