Recycled Brooklyn goes the whole nine yards with everything from benches made of wood planks salvaged from a film studio to tables created from salvaged bowling alley floor to padded benches covered in recycled coffee sacks.

Etsy: Salvaged wood and recycled coffee sack storage by RecycledBrooklyn
There’s a cabinetry shop in the building where I keep my materials and man, do they throw a ton of usable stuff away. Heavy shipping crates, plywood, framing lumber….. you name it, they toss it. Anyway…..
I grabbed a bunch of 2 x 3s the other day and used them to frame up some storage benches, a few of which you see here. The patchwork exteriors were made using wood salvaged from the old warehouses and defunct factories of north Brooklyn (oak columns, pine flooring, fir joists), the removable tops are made using recycled coffee sacks stitched together over a 2″ thick foam pad. The bench measures 50″ long by 20″ tall by 12″ deep, more than big enough to store a blanket or three.

Beautiful Burlap Nursery Walls: Coffee Sack Reuse
My coworker and his wife are expecting their first child. While they searched and searched to find their dream home, the baby is not waiting. So they decided to make the perfect nursery in their apartment instead. They collected coffee sacks (not hard to find in Portland, Oregon) and sewed them together to create a beautiful burlap canvas to paint on.
Nice work Tom and Arian! The kid is sure to be an artist with parents like you!
