The Green Geek 2: Upcycling and Decorating with Reused Items

We're back with a new episode of The Green Geek, our eco-friendly web series with host Julia Black from Pure Design. This week is all about the catch word of DIY decorating: upcycling. How do you reuse items in your home? What should you look for and where?

Julia visits one of her favourite salvage stores in Toronto,  SMASH, and chats with owner Paul Mercer about what he looks for when he's hunting down reusable and vintage treasures. Then, Julia shows us what she's planning to do with a few found objects of her own. Inspiration alert!

Watch the first episode: What are gas emissions and VOCs? Next week: What's the best way to start "greening" your home? Learn more about water conservation, Energy Star appliances and how you can make a difference.

I too am looking forward to more episodes.  

In my humble opinion, our Great Grandmothers would be also be impressed as due to the era they lived in, undoubtedly most of them were the Masters of  resourcing and upcycling.      -Brenda-
