Keeping unnecessary waste out of landfills scores high in our book, and this bath does exactly that. Designed by Libby Langdon for the Better Homes and Gardens Living Green Tour, it teaches several reuse lessons.
Rehab Old Furniture
The vanity was first an antique dresser. Look for a piece that can accommodate plumbing; you may be able to reconfigure drawers to salvage storage.
Be Creative with Scraps
The original dresser top was removed, cut into strips like molding, and crafted into a simple mirror frame.
Choose Eco-Smart Surfaces
Countertops and backsplash tiles made of recycled materials are durable and decorative.
Note: The Living Green Tour has traveled coast-to-coast this year, sharing ideas and inspiration on green living at home. It makes its final three stops this month, but you can see photos of the entire exhibit anytime at BHG.com/livinggreen.
