These days we call it re-purposing, but whatever we call it, I love finding new uses for old things. As I was about to throw this coffee “can” in the recyclables a couple of weeks ago, I took a look at the handle and thought it might make the perfect watering can for Paolo’s plants. He’s really taken to being responsible for the bean sprouts he grew in class and has since adopted the rest of the plants in our living room. It isn’t Scandinavian Modern or any other type of decor, but it gets the job done. We’re both awfully pleased with his new watering can. Now we just have to keep Dad from recycling it accidentally…
