Think being green is hard? It's not. Think it has to be expensive? It doesn't. Or at least, that's what a couple of creative New Yorkers would have you think.

Really, though, by the looks of their blog, the creators of Reclaimed Home have the right idea: take trash and turn it into treasure.

Not a new idea, mind you, but the right idea all the same. Even so, this little gold nugget of a website does more than just generalized hints on how to green your garages, kitchens and décor. It actually gives you ideas you can use.

Ok, ok. So a lot of their posts center around the Big Apple, which is great for New Englanders, but what about the rest of us? While you may or may not be able to frequent the very vintage NY locales, there's plenty of how-to's and updates that are equal opportunity. Enough to impress us at least.

So take a look. Leave a comment or two. Just don't forget to come back and tell us what you think.
