Re purposed Truck

1953 Chevy truck is now my grand kids "playscape" Some days it is a pirate ship others it is a garbage truck. Sometimes we just sit on the bench in the cab and go to the beach. Our Bar-B-Que pit is under the hood. Wooden step up into the back bed. We love it.

More great upcycling project ideas using architectural scraps

Since you guys appreciated the coffee table from an old door that my husband built for me, I thought you'd love to see what he can do with old windows, too! Over the years he has built ...»
some seriously cool pieces of furniture and shadowboxes, too. The very first thing he made for me was the window shadowbox to hold my wedding bouquet and bridal portraits. It's one of my most prized possessions.

He used scrap lumber from his grandfather's porch swing to create the red shadowboxes. I painted the red table and distressed it to look old. We make a pretty good team! :)

He doesn't use any plans to build things, but another Hometalker asked for plans for his tables in the coffee table post, so here is a little tutorial I wrote on how he created the hinged window shadowbox table: http://unskinnyboppy.blogspot.com/2008/09/tu...

  • The framework was worked out so the desk had productive space underneath for the chair and rolling files.

  • Naturally a little bit of repurposing had to come into play somewhere. :)

This is a fence that we made out of very old windows and stair balusters, both left over from jobs my hubby did. The windows are so old that they have hand-rolled glass! There are two ...»
sections with my tea pot fountain set between the two fence sections. I love them because they are open and don't obstruct my view and they keep the dog from tearing through my shade garden!
