What a nice eco-friendly way to celebrate the Earth day for example! Or if you are an eco-friendly couple, you definitely need these plastic bottle candle holders for any celebration you have (and maybe also these CD candle holders for a change).

DIY Wood Log Table
On: Monday, August 30, 2010
We had a birch log table yesterday and now we have another bright idea! A table made of piles of logs and sticks.
The whole thing looks awesome when piled together! Good job!

Plastic Bottles into a Coin Bank
This DIY project is from the same series as he plastic bottle magazine rack we have just shared.
A plastic bottle coin bank seems a bit harder to make but it looks so much fun! And a nice motivation to save money as well!
Other similar plastic bottle re-uses:
Plastic Bottle Box and Plastic Frog Box (zipped!);
Beach Sandals Made of Plastic Bottles;
Plastic Bottle Sand Watch;

Some DIY projects are fun and beautiful, others are useful and simply genius - this is is both.
Surely, it all comes to implementation - would be able to make the thing as aesthetic? But the idea is surely a cool one!

Nespresso Container Table
I have no idea how solid and reliable the construction is - the good news is that it's a designer thing but you can try making it at home.
There's no an instruction but I don't think it is too hard to construct. Just glue the nespresso containers in a stand!
In any case, it does look like a pretty thing:

An Old TV into Aquarium
A beautiful aquarium is a great decoration for any interior. But what if that's a TV aquarium? Imagine how cool it would be to have this ingenious Reef Tank which can be put in your Grandma's 1955 television!
Getting Carried Away with DIY Duct Tape
On: Friday, August 27, 2010
There are lots of great uses for duct tape.
You can use it in your home, around the yard, on your car, at work, and even on ducts. Duct tape has become an obsession for many people too and the DIY duct tape fad has taken on a life of it's own.
Here are a few DIY duct tape projects that may or may not have gone a little too far.
You be the judge...
1) A Crib
It's hard to say if this is hilarious or if we should be concerned for this baby's safety.
Fortunately duct tape is very strong so she should be safe!
2) A Couch
Here is a DIY duct tape couch. Instead of springing for new upholstery this person decided to cover their old couch in duct tape.
It looks quite interesting but is it comfy?
3) A Bike
This one is more cruel than anything else. In fact, it's not even DIY, it looks like it's just a prank that someone did on a friend. I'm pretty sure that bike wont be moving for a while.
4) iPad Case
This surprisingly stylish iPad case was made with only duct tape.
It's a very resourceful case but it might take slightly longer to make than it would be to purchase one.
Sometime the best part of DIY is the D part though.
5) Toilet Paper
Sometimes DIY and duct tape just shouldn't go together and do-it-yourself duct tape toilet paper is a perfect example of that kind of situation.
Not only is duct tape fairly expensive, it's also sticky, slow, and probably the last thing you'd want to use in the bathroom. Keep making duct tape clothing and accessories people but maybe skip the duct tape toilet paper.

Recycled Car Tires Sandals
On: Monday, May 10, 2010
We've already shared an idea on creating plastic bottle sandals as well as DIY tire sandals. Today's piece of recycling inspiration is somewhat similar.
The essential difference though is that these sandals use much more convenient and thus this idea is much more usable: enjoy!

(Creepy) Dolls Chandelier
On: Monday, April 26, 2010
I am actually not sure which interior design would match such a chandelier. It needs definitely a home with no children ('cause kids will be hurt by its look).
Anyway, the dolls chandelier is our today's find. Many people, many tastes - and I am sure someone will love it!

Bath Mat out of Wine Corks
On: Tuesday, April 20, 2010
I am pretty sure this bath tab is both fun and useful to stand /walk on. I am not sure though how much wine you'll need to drink to create one. Way to get prepared for some upcoming holidays!
Find the instructions here. You'll need: a hot glue gun, some non-adhesive shelf liner, and a lot of wine corks.
More fun with wine corks: wine cork serving tray and wine bottle corks armchair.
