Corrugated Art | Trash To Treasure


Corrugated art, is how the artist refers to it. Using entirely reclaimed corrugated boxes from his trash and neighborhood, Mark Langan transformed the everyday material into something other than its original intended purpose…aesthetically beautiful three-dimensional art. Armed only with a razor blade, a cutting edge, a mat and some non toxic glue, each artwork is created by layering sheets of corrugated into aesthetically pleasing patterns. The corrugated lends itself well to patterns. When viewed from different angles and lighting, each piece changes. Cardboard has never been more beautiful, has it?

Did March Come In Like A Lion Or A Lamb?

I'm almost afraid to say that at my house March definitely came in like a lamb. That means it will go out like a lion. Oh No...say it isn't so.

Radio Flyer

Giant Radio Flyer Wagon from the 1933 World's Fair. Look at the people in the photo to get an idea of how huge this was. Did it survive? Where it is? I like it.

Full Moon On The Last Evening Of February

This photo of the full moon was taken last night before I turned off the lights for some prime time TV watching. Masterpiece [39 Steps] on PBS was excellent. Look for a repeat sometime during the week in case you missed it.

Eat Ice Cream For Daily Happiness

This is such good advice. My motto: A day without ice cream is like a day without sunshine.

The last time you saw this view of a corner in my living room, there was a Christmas tree on the table.

Winterscape With Lake

It would be nice to have a lake to look out upon I think. There would be great beauty here no matter what the season. Found on Google Images.

A Kitchen And A Bath

Lovely kitchen. Lovely tub. Each room is sleek, simple, uncluttered, and lastly elegant. The kitchen eating area looks as if it would be a simple DIY project with fantastic results.  via

House Love | Outside, Inside, and Up In A Tree




Delightful images of house love. Don't you admire the spiral staircase for the tree house? I like the blue glass backsplash in the kitchen. The arts and crafts cottage in the first photo is nice. The landscaping in the last photo is spectacular. Be back later, Rosemary.
