Fun to mix and match colors and prints for an artfully inspired table setting, that would look equally at home on your walls.
And the canvas for this table art is none other than Paperstone, the same material we coveted for our kitchen countertops.
Have been doing a little spring cleaning and unearthed jeans that I’ve had since college back, they’ve lived a good life and need to be trashed, but now with Gaps jean recycling event they’ll be able to find new life as eco-friendly recycled denim insulation. Now through March 14th, you can bring in an old pair of jeans (jean skirts and shorts qualify too) to a Gap in exchange for 30% off a new pair of Gap jeans. They’ve got sizes to fit every shape in the latest styles (none that we saw were organic though…. ) The jeans collected will be recycled to create natural cotton fiber insulation for homes in needy communities. So, go ahead turn your blue jeans green. It’s a win win….
