You'd be suprised by what you can create with a bit of trash!

These stairs are so cool!  At Toronto’s Roarockit Skateboard School, they used skateboard decks to build a stairway.  It appears the decks were custom made for the stairs, but this would be a creative way to upcycle old decks.
I tell people i recycle & create stuff with junk, preloved, found, new used or needed, liquidated stock, or stock that is at the end of its season ranges that will eventually either end in landfill or op shops. So often times when i say this they assumed my creations are well, shit. Im certain my mother assumed this at some stage till i told her i made money and people like this eco sustainability niche stuff.

This post is to show those people that the world is your oyster. Think outside the box. Theres alot you can recreate from trash etc.

Ecoist have created amazing ways to upcycle and jazz up a boring light bulb...esp. love the blender light!!
Ive been dreaming for many many years about a house or industrial apartment building made entirely of recycled trash & treasures. Every apartment room designed differently from the next. Unique.

So i guess I'll go through with what my dream recycled home might be like...lets pretend. (^_^)

The building...may have balconies & a balcony across the moat to the other side (is that the word?)

i kinda like this concept,
