As part of an innovative partnership called Home Sweet Home (Lar Doce Lar) between multidisciplinary design firm Rosenbaum and TV producer Luciano Huck, the teams went through dozens of Brazilian homes doing dramatic makeovers of interior and exterior spaces. On their 48th home Rosenbaum designed a pretty amazing vertical garden that was suspended in a narrow walkway just outside the house.
Reponse to the garden was so huge the firm quickly released design schematics (in Portugese) detailing how to build one. A huge thanks to the team at Rosenbaum for sharing these photos with Colossal!

I asked Amy of This Heart of Mine for a project that would be fun for kids or adults. I love that she thought of star-gazing! We’re so far into the countryside, that the stars here are outrageously bright.
It’s awesome! — Gabrielle Star gazing is one of my favorite things. Because of my love of the stars, when my daughter was little, I purchased her a night light that shines stars all over her bedroom walls. What you’ll need: - a wide mouth jar – The jar needs to be wide enough to fit the small click light inside. -an awl - scissors Cut a strip of the cake pan long enough to fit around inside the jar and tall enough to reach to the very top of the jar.
Use the awl to poke holes for the constellations. I connected the constellation dots with a silver Sharpie to make them easier to spot. Fill in the other space with more holes. Roll the aluminum sheet until it fits snug inside the jar. Put the encircled aluminum sheet inside the jar. Take into a dark room and enjoy. HOW TO: Recycle a Tin Can Into a Gorgeous Outdoor Lantern for Summer Parties. All you need to do to get started on this eco-friendly summer craft project is gather the following materials: 2-4 cleaned, empty tin cans (you can use any size)a hammeran assortment of nails (for larger or smaller holes)colorful permanent markerspaper, pencil, masking tape, scissors (if you plan to use a pattern)votive candlesa towel With your newly gathered used tin cans, remove labels, and clean thoroughly.
Fill each can with water and freeze overnight until solid. The ice stabilizes the can and prevents it from bending when you punch holes in them later. Decide on a design for your punched-tin decorations. Cradle the frozen tin can in a folded towel (to prevent the can from moving and to catch ice chips). Rinse the can under a hot tap until the ice block pops out and allow the can to dry. If you want to add color to your new punched-tin lantern, you can create a variety of fun, shiny designs by simply using colorful permanent markers.

It's fast, cheap, easy, AND it's fun to say aloud: obmre chrysanthemums. Chrysanthemum is one of my favorite words of all time. I like the way it requires you to scrape your tongue across the back of your teeth to pronounce it properly.
Chrysanthemum. Why people feel compelled to shorten their name to mums is beyond me. What’s the fun in that? And, for another thing, it is one of the few multisyllabic words I enjoy spelling. Ombre is big again this year, so I thought I would incorporate it into a flower project. I was all set to show this to guys last week, but then I decided it was missing something. *Can I just take a sec to point out that I even have a closet that can hold a giant chrysanthemum lantern? What's the difference between the two versions? Coffee filters: $2.00 (tip: I buy packs of 700 coffee filters at Costco $2.50) Required quantity varies.

This modern, ethnic-looking coffee table, with its ochre stripes that conjures up visions of Marrakech, was made from a wooden pallet discarded in a shopping area. The painstaking task of removing nails and sawing wood was avoided by fitting the pallet with a hardboard bottom and filling the cracks with mortar. And presto, we have a table top. If you like contemporary design, you can also fill the cracks with concrete, and then smooth and add a wax finish. To start, choose a pallet in good condition. The one pictured is a 75 x 75 cm (2½ x 2½ ft) square. Roughly sand the wood using low-grade sandpaper. To help fill in the cracks, nail down a few pieces of scrap wood. Once the mortar is dry, remove the formwork and carefully sand the table top.
You can either paint the mortar or leave it as is. To make "legs" for the coffee table, attach two thick boards, such as formwork planks, to the sides of the pallet, using 80 mm (3 in) screws. Trampoline Uses - Recycle Trampoline | Atlantic Trampolines Blog. If your trampoline was damaged beyond economic repair in the recent storms you might have some imaginative ways to recycle the trampoline and the parts that are undamaged. This photo shows an innovative idea which makes use of the trampoline frame ring, the trampoline bounce mat and trampoline springs.
The trampoline frame has been covered in soft padding and the whole trampoline mat is covered with a sheet. The frame is suspended from the ceiling by strong rope to make a large suspended swinging bed or relaxation area. Suspended Swinging Trampoline Bed Trampoline frame used to create a swinging bed In our experience some extra strenghtening may be required to the trampoline frame to keep it perfectly flat when suspended in this way.
If you have any other examples of innovative uses for redundant trampolines then please let us know so we can share the ideas. Here are some examples of the same idea, installed both inside and outside. Trampoline Bed Examples Suspended Trampoline Bed. Outdoor screening.
