It's Easy to Reuse and Reduce

Postby Golden » Thu Jun 14, 2012 2:04 pm

Speaking of sustainability, I just recently refinished my bathroom cabinets. It wasn't hard. It just took time. It took me several weekends sanding and staining them. And they look all new again. I feel comfortable enough and ready to do my next project, my kitchen.

I was going to stain my cabinets but decided it would take too much time and I painted them white. They look nice. It also brightened up my kitchen. It looks like I have a brand new kitchen. It took me one weekend including all the preparation.

My kitchen looks small. The contractor and I made some changes to make the traffic flow better. I got rid of the peninsula and have a new portable island. I have new cabinets in my kitchen. Instead of getting rid of the old cabinets the contractor install them in my garage for storage. My garage looks so much neater! Now, I can get out of my car without stepping onto things.

There are materials that needs to reuse for saving money to buy a new one and it also help to lessen each expenses for the materials to be used.

It does take time to refinish kitchen and bathroom but at the end you get a new kitchen and bathroom. Deciding and starting these projects is tough but once you are in it you will stop only when its completely done.

Tosca, what a fantastic idea by your contractor. You got all those extra storage space. I bet your garage look great and tidy!

A friend of mine's landscape architect uses those big branches for the top of the fences to add interest to the fences. I think that was very clever. I really like it and will try to use something in my yard before just throwing them in the green container for pick up and turning into mulch. I think its more sustainable by doing that.

Reusing is the best option we have purchased used with the help of our remodeling contractor and saved near about 40% amount.
