Sometimes we design bloggers get worn out. We look at so much design all day that it takes a lot to impress us; sometimes nothing seems new. Sometimes I think if I hear “Hollywood Glamour” or “Brooklyn Modern” one more time I might just throw up, and those are two styles I actually like.
Then there are some times when you go on a virtual house tour that gets you really buzzing with excitement again. This was the case when I saw Alysia’s Treehouse by the Lake on Apartment Therapy L.A. Alysia’s decorating philosophy was inspired by The Recycled Home by Sally Bailey. She begged, borrowed, swapped and repurposed. One of the best results was this ottoman she reupholstered with an old coffee bean sack a local roaster gave her.

The reupholstered ottoman opens up a whole new realm of possibilities for the use of repurposed coffee bean sacks. It’s a very innovative use and would make a cool conceptual coffee table as well.

It’s funny, I was at Caribou Coffee yesterday and they had made tote bags out of them. They were really cute. I predict a coffee bean sack craze!
