Green Crafter: Upcycled Birdhouses from Gadget Sponge
Artist Brian Carlisle turns found objects into beautiful, upcycled birdhouses. Each of his birdhouse is a one-of-a-kind work of art. While the metal birdhouses are for decorative use, you can use them as a traditional birdhouse if you keep them out of direct sunlight and cold winds. How lovely would these look on a covered patio or front porch?
Brian took some time to answer a few of our questions about what he does, why he does it, and what inspires him!
Eco-Friendly Roof Options
We knew when we bought this house back in 2006 that we’d eventually have to replace the roof. To be honest, we probably should have done it already, but it’s getting to be pretty bad now. I’d really like to look at more eco-friendly options than asphalt roofing tiles (a petroleum product).
Since I’ve been digging up info about eco-friendly roof options, I thought I’d share what I found with you guys!
