    I'm loving that clock idea ... I adore giant clocks and that could be a cool idea for my family room inspiration!

    Love your ideas. My son is a biker, and I see a few things I'm going to have to try!

    On a related note, does anyone have any bright ideas for old bicycle tires? They are too thin for planters or any of the other car tire ideas on here.

    I just replaced the tires on one of my bikes, and in my packrat maddness, I can't seem to throw away any of the old ones.

    Sacha, that is pretty cool. You should post it as a new project so more people will see it (if you haven't already).
