I love this vegetable garden: it is practical (for small gardens and balconies), inexpensive and, not unimportant, it looks good! Wooden wine boxes are used as plant containers.
I found this idea on LLH Designs. You can find more information and instructions here.

This horse swing also looks great indoors! It is constructed entirely out of recycled rubber tires. The only thing on this horse that isn’t made of tires is his charming mane which is made from rope. The swing is available from Le Souk.

Today I’m loving … the beautiful kids furniture collection from furniture maker and interior designer Katrin Arens. Last year I posted about her beautiful home in Italy, which you can see here.
On Katrin’s website you can find more furniture and interior accessories. Each piece is unique and handmade, using reclaimed materials from derelict country houses, from cellars, and from carpentry studios.

Another fun DIY project today! Graça Paz of the blog aqui pelo campo made this beautiful rustic coat hanger from tree branches and recycled wood. There are no instructions but I don’t think those are necessary as this project is pretty straight forward and not that difficult.
