save the rain

i love my rain barrel!
It collects and stores the rain that runs off the roof.
Ive been using it to water my flowers.
They are super easy to make and attach to your house

Recycle is good Upcycle is better

Ive been saving my can from the kitchen for some time now......just waiting for a good idea on how to use them.

They work great for office organization and my husband has some in his workshop. But that just seemed to obvious and boring.

So i went to the garden. Now my cans are becoming rustic homes for the ever growing population of "chicks n hens". Im not sure how they'll do in the winter....i might put them in the gaurage.

Painted Trash Cans.......Why Not?

Thanks to a little paint and some spray lacquer, I now have the nicest trash on the block.
