Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: Brick by Brick

painted bricks

After having ripped the roof off of our house and knocking down the little half wall that surrounded our putting green patio, we have a few bricks lying around. I don't want to just toss them. So I found myself wondering what other RRR geniuses have been doing with them. Take a look - genius indeed.

(for the record, these aren't actual bricks; but you could easily copy this by stacking and painting actual bricks. awesome sauce.)

People are clever right? I love all of these. So amazing and so much better than throwing them away or at someone when you're really mad. Agreed? Happy Recycling. xo
