So, I thought I’d start out my contribution with a bit of thrifted art, this is a fab decorative chopping board picked up from the Salvation Army, Palmerston North for $3.
Phoenix Commotion, is a house construction firm, (run by Dan Phillips), that builds affordable housing out of recycled materials. Not just architectural salvage items either, but also bottle caps, corks, broken pieces of tile, you name it. The end result is not only an affordable home that strictly conforms to building codes, but also a piece of folk art.
People need to know about organizations like these, because ones that effect positive changes get lost in the “news” stories that instill fear and panic more than they inform.
