The Bite:
Got stuff in your house you wanna conceal - that college-era recliner, perhaps? Lucy Butcher, owner of Presentation Is Everything, has a sneaky way of redesigning pads using stuff peeps already own. Serving the entire Front Range, she'll replace boring end tables with upended vintage suitcases, and turn that storage trunk into your new coffee table. She'll handle the flair too, transforming cloth napkins into window valances, and popping twigs from that tree out back into a large vase for a dramatic entryway art piece. You won't have to spring for pricey new stuff, and you'll avoid chucking the old stuff in landfills. Deceptively simple.
Wanna Try: 
Presentation Is Everything (719-638-4395). Redesign services, $125/hour; 4-hour minimum.

Cocktail Fact

In ancient Rome, the couch was often in the dining room so that men could recline while they ate.

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 Denver Biters redesign with their old trunk instead of getting rid of it and buying a new one, we'll keep the weight of 39 moving vans in wood, plastic, and metal out of landfills.
