It’s Katya the Intern again with another part 3 of my Eco-home tips & tutorials series (here’s part 1 & part 2) This round is for recycled, re-purposed and reused decor to pretty up your house. Recycling  household trash and clutter  into decor is is definitely a simple way to reduce waste gong into a landfill. Most things just need a simple cleaning or a new coat of paint and others, like the glass bottle frames, can pretty much be used as is. Of course, you can get about as complex as you want and end up with some pretty fabulous design that no one would ever guess was once something as humble as a milk jug.
