Default Wrecked boat turned into furniture

The other day I was watching a tv show, though sadfully I didnt catch what it was called. I hope to find it again. In this show a couple was showing their home and showing the viewers of all the "green" things they had. It was a really intresting show. This couple had ceiling lights which were made from recycled plastic cups, a hot tub which used a wood burner to heat the water. Though the furniture is what caught my eye the most. When the furniture was first showed it looked like something I should recognize, but I just couldnt place it. Then when they began talking about it, here I realized that the furniture was actually made from a wrecked boat. This couple had purchased a wrecked boat for a really cheap price and turned it into their living room furniture. This was a wonderful idea, and I thought I would share it with all of you. Boats which have been wrecked can be easily purchased if you live in an area near water. This could save you a great deal on purchasing new furniture. From the looks of this couples furniture, it did not appear to be very hard to cut the boat down and add in some lumber and cushions to make a lovely couch. If I am able to find out what show this was on I will be sure to let everyone know, it really was a great show to watch.

We're all so focused on trying to go "green" with the small things. This couple really went the extra mile here. It sounds fascinating, I wish I could have seen their furniture.

I feel good just recovering cushions to get some extra miles from them,
