We’ve all heard the saying, “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.” Well, when it comes to reclaimed materials, that is absolutely true. But don’t think of it as trash, think of it as reclaimed or repurposed. Many people are becoming more aware of how their homes are affecting the environment and by using reclaimed materials, they are not contributing to the expending of energy used to create new materials. Reclaimed materials can add beauty, history, and character to any home.

Here are some reclaimed materials that make a beautiful home.

 

For the HGTV Green Home 2011, large pieces of Stapleton International Airport runway concrete and blast fence were repurposed in the landscape as retaining walls.

 

The reclaimed oak flooring in this home gives it a gorgeous rich look that creates a cozy and comfortable home.

 

This EnviroGLAS Recycled Glass Countertop is colorful and matches the blue kitchen cabinetry perfectly.
