So, I think this counts as a pretty big upcycle! Can't wait to get started on my tiny shipping container house. Y'all no joke, I've been dreaming up a tiny home for seven years!

I found this adorable bowl at Goodwill, and it just screamed bird feeder....(I know, wishful thinking more like squirrel feeder). Anyway, a couple pieces of chain and viola!

One simple fabric flower made from T-shirts, three fabulous DIY projects! http://upcycledstuff.blogspot.com/2015/02/how-to-make-rose-from-t-shirt.html
