Get into the Eco-Swing

Be still my beating heart, how fabulous is this indoor porch swing, installed in a bedroom no less. Apartment Therapy scooped this idea from blogger Shauna at Something Hiding in Here.  A very romantic gesture from Shauna's boyfriend on Valentine's Day, the clever lad even made cushions from his recycled tote bags, lucky girl!

If you love this idea as much as I do here are some ideas for how to make your own indoor porch swing:

Scout out a gently used porch swing on your local craigslist and refurbish using milk paint for an antique look.

Or get in touch with your inner Bob Vila and hit up your local scrap yard for recycled wood and build your own.

Or splurge on this lovely Adirondack version made from 100% recycled lumber called polywood which is comprised of specially processed recycled plastic soda bottles and milk jugs, once destined for the land-fill.

Anyway you swing it, this idea is a winner.
