A place where artists, educators, recyclers, and friends can find re-use materials for the projects that fill our lives. A place where eco-friendly is more than an idea – it’s what we do.

From the everyday to the every-which-way, re-purposed materials are our greatest and greenest resource for projects of every kind – and The I.D.E.A. Store is the place to find them!
