Interesting Eco Projects

washing machine ottoman What’s new on the recycling, upcycling and re-purposing front? It’s been awhile since I’ve seen really good and new ideas. So I went on the hunt.

What I found was fun, innovative and all have a man vibe to them. I think they’d make great man-cave or workshop items.

This great ottoman was created out of a washing machine drum. It’s a great example of upcycling.

This tractor seat turned office or shop chair, is another great upcycling idea.

key holderHow about a seat belt key holder? Designer Thabto has created a fun hook for your keys. Stick the key into the holder the same way you would buckle a seat belt. I think car guys would love this for their garage, shop, or man cave.
