Up-Cycling at its BEST

Today, I read a post from a cool DIY blogger, The Nester, about the amazing displays at Anthropologie stores. I have only been into 1 location - in Reston Town Center here in VA - and wondered if this amazing feature was unique to this location. But I found out that each location has these kind of designs. Take a look at Kara Paslay's (designer from the Tulsa store) design using post-it notes!"UH-MAZ-ING," said the paper nerd over here. "Um, hello, Office Depot? Yes, do you have about 200 cases of post-it notes in stock? What's that.. no, it doesn't matter what color because we're going to DYE THEM WITH RIT." Ok, so I thought I was pretty crafty, but to have the mind of a genius designer is really something special!

Just in case you forgot... those are POST IT'S y'all!

Want to see more? Take a look at Plenty of Colour to see other really neat designs. Here are some of my favorites:

All Dressed Up and No Place to Go

Are those business envelopes?

See Cork City!

Ooh-la-la

Are those MARSHMALLOWS? I wonder how many they ate while making this one!

Proof that you should encourage your kids to keep making paper chains!
