Do-It-Yourself projects from the Habitat ReStore

Recently the Habitat ReStore received pictures of two creative DIY projects made from recycled items found at the ReStore. We love hearing from satisfied customers, especially when it involves materials from the ReStore that have been reused in creative ways!

The first is a table decorated from students at Elwood Elementary School. Marysue emailed us to say:
"Recently I found the cover to a light fixture and four banisters. I used them to make a small table which I painted black.  Then the first grade class at Ellwood Elementary (here in Goleta) decorated it with mosaic tiles for their Spring Auction. It turned out beautifully. The table top was only $3.00 and the legs were $2.00 each." 
"Recycled" table decorated by 1st grade students at Elwood Elementary

The next project is of a backyard patio. All of the decorative tiles were purchased from the Habitat ReStore.


We'd love to hear from you and see pictures of your projects. What creative ways have you reused items from the Habitat ReStore?
