Do you have unwanted items lying around the house that have out-lived their purpose? You may want to think twice before throwing them out once you've seen these amazing ideas we have in store. With just a little time and effort you can transform bric-and-brac into something truly wonderful with a whole new purpose. Just check out these amazing projects for some inspiration and let us know which one is your favourite!



A rustic pallet chandelier brings a touch of

industrial shabby chic to any room.


The future of your books might hang in this balance!


A painstakingly put together penny mosaic is a real talking point in any home. 


Find a use for old pallets by cleaning them up, giving them a lick of paint and turning them into cool coffee tables. 


Simple yet effective, this ladder shelf brings charm to any room. 


Why not make cool garden furniture out of colourfully painted pallets. 

Change old bottles into unique soap dispensers to add a quirky twist in the bathroom.  


Old pipes make a wonderful focal point bookshelf. 


Another use for old bottles is turning them into funky lamps. 


Re-purpose an old ladle by affixing it to a piece of wood, painting and then using it as a candle holder. 


Give your old mason jars an ethereal quality by lighting them up. 


Possibly the coolest item ever! An old gumball machine turned into a fish tank. 


Have your kids outgrown their toy cars but cannot bear to part with them? Try this amazing mirror idea. Just fix them to a plain mirror surround and spray paint the colour of your choice. 


You can do the same with their teddies too! 


More pallets with a twist.


How about using a quaint old suitcase as a cool retro medicine cabinet? Just what the doctor ordered!
