Inspiration: London refabs and street art | the ReFab Diaries

I just spent 9 days in England. Mostly London... a little Cambridge. When I lived in London in 1998, I lived on Shoreditch high street, right above Mary's Shoes (which is still there).  The area was a dump. Now it's hipster heaven ... and rich with street art. Here are my favorites along with some fun repurposing ideas spotted in London and Cambridgeshire.



Frayed edges, feathers and flight in Shoreditch, London




Art and history - Shoreditch




I finally got to see one of these phone-box libraries for myself! Friends of mine live in the small village of Lolworth, Cambridgeshire. They (the village) paid a little less than $50 for the privilege of owning the box and using it for whatever purpose. They decided on a community book exchange.

Bathtubs refabbed as flower boxes - Sydenham, East London




A little lego tree - Hanbury Street, London

Hmmmm.... 




More Shoreditch color...



A final Roa.
