Crushed Can Art

“Using acrylic paints I create a painting on one side of the crushed can,” he writes. “My Crushed Can artwork is then mounted in a frame, ready to hang. Not only is each artwork an original, but the crushing of the can creates a one-of-a-kind canvas.”

If you’re someone who gets a little thrill from discovering a hidden gem in a secondhand store or loves the idea of curating a closet full of personality and stories, Second Chances by Macy Eleni is an absolute gem of a read. This book isn’t just about shopping—it’s about reclaiming your personal style in a way that’s sustainable, creative, and unapologetically YOU.

What I personally loved is how Macy makes space for all styles, all sizes, and all personalities. It’s not about looking like everyone else—it’s about discovering what makes YOU feel amazing, and doing it with flair. For someone like me who’s drawn to quirky, eclectic home décor and wardrobe choices, this book was like a breath of fresh thrifted air.
