Being a huge fan of clean simple lines and a person who’s favorite color family falls in the earthier realm, my home decor color scheme tends to follow that same trend. What’s been drawing me in lately have been stone and cement finds, so incorporating these into a few items from around my house was a no brainer. While in the process of switching out lightbulbs to CFL’s I thought about an interesting use of the disposed bulb as decoration as well as the disposable cupcake lid which make great tea light holders. Not only are they interesting conversation pieces, they will last forever and for roughly $11.00 in products and a few household items I’m sure you have thrown in a drawer, you can make endless sustainable goodies.
