At a time when the importance of sustainability is on the rise, DIY projects – do it yourself – are increasingly common. They take care of the home, office and home office through pieces, furniture and decorative objects. The best part about relying on recycled furniture in decorating is that a transformed piece is something unique, exclusive, original and 100% personalized. If it’s an older piece even better. It will bring a story behind all the transformation that has gone through. In this post we will see more about it and you can make a beautiful Mosaic Dream Blanket.
