When your project is finished and there's a bit of stone leftover, what do you do with it? Does it sit around and collect dust? If the answer to that question is "yes," then perhaps it's time you found a purpose for those stone remnants.
They are, after all, perfectly good pieces of granite, marble, or whatever other natural stone you happen to have lying around.
Rather than letting them act as oversized paperweights or end up in a landfill, there are many applications for leftover stone.
1.
Build a coffee table: Maybe you need a coffee table, maybe you don't.
If you don't, perhaps you can sell it for some extra cash! Regardless, if you are the crafty type this is a fantastic way to turn a hunk of stone into something sophisticated and artistic for your home.
2.
Create a pathway for your lawn: Leftover stone can prove to be the perfect material for stepping stones in your front or back lawn-just cut them into smaller pieces and embed them in the grass (or dirt) of your lawn or garden.
3.
Build Garden Benches: Speaking of the garden, wouldn't it be great to use those stone remnants to build a gorgeous seating area for your yard or garden? These are both aesthetically pleasing and incredibly useful-a fantastic combination.
4.
Use it as the base of a fountain: Lawn fountains come in all shapes and sizes, and many can be created using your leftover stone.
It can be the centerpiece for any yard-or room.
Indoor fountains are becoming increasingly popular, and are a unique way to add sophistication to a home.
5.
Use it to update your bathroom sink: Is your sink old, or are you planning to redecorate? Use leftover stone pieces to build a bathroom sink, or the base for an above counter sink.
These look incredibly modern and are making their way into bathroom decor.
These are just a few ways to use stone remnants to enhance the beauty and sophistication of your home.
If you aren't particularly crafty, try selling your stone remnants as well, either locally or online.
If you're not going to use it, why not make something of it?
