I really want to do this!!! I love it! I need to figure out how to keep these plans! Lol not sure how I found it.
Cute idea...!!!!! I never would have thought of doing this. But I really like it.
Thank you for sharing.
I've always loved the look of crackled glass, and wanted to make my own. So after experimenting for a while, I've come up with a quick and easy effect to give my glass that crackled look!
If you like rustic decor the way that I like rustic decor, you are going to love this! When I saw someone was selling 100 year old beams from a barn they had dismantled my heart jumped and my brain started turning. I wanted to do something at my new lake house fixer upper with one of these beams, but what?
In order to jump right into the project we will skip the part about having to drink the entire bottle of wine in order to get the right shape bottle. We will also skip the part about how to decoupage the bottle with napkins as there are plenty of tutorials covering that part of the project - except to say that I used my "Mom Podge" to do the decoupage (Link at bottom of project).
I had an idea for a custom wall sconce. Found Some metal wall sconces in the closet that originally had metal candle holders that hung from them. I wanted to use them on boards that were done to match headboard I made previously and hang lanterns that I purchased at gift department of local pharmacy.
Halloween is my most favorite holiday so I always go all out with the decorations. Every year I try to come up with some new Halloween items to mix in with the old, and I always seem to have more project ideas than time. So the easier the project is, the more likely it is to get done...which is why this DIY Halloween wreath made the list.
Our pool had given us many years of enjoyment...fast forward 20 years or so...it's time to say goodbye to our pool!Now to re-purpose some materials and make a more interesting view than just a boring fence.
We have been remodeling our main bathroom. It is a labor of love. Our house is 96 years old. I am trying to use a lot of antiques and old parts and pieces of tables, chairs, knobs etc. that I have collected. I needed a wall shelf in the bathroom. I decided to use a chair back. I had already used the seat part of the chair as a footstool. The project cost $0, as I had everything I needed in my workshop.
Before you take that broken piece of furniture to the dump, look beyond its intended purpose and create something unique. A chair can become a shelf, a dresser can become a bar, & a table can become a planter!
I purchased this sweet gem from a little obscure thrift shop. The shop was decked out for Christmas with all types of holiday fare. But way back in a corner I saw this little baby. She was rusted and crooked from years of wear and tear. But I knew that she had been waiting just for me.
I began the restoration process immediately. Since there was a lot of rust, I had to sand the piece with fine grain sandpaper. After sanding, I wiped it down with a damp cloth and left it to dry.
Do you have unused kitchen utensils sitting in your kitchen drawer? Do you have your grandmother's favorite tool, but don't use it? Do you have kitchen items that are no longer useful? If yes, read on!
As part of a monthly craft challenge I co-host with several other bloggers, I needed to come up with a new use for an old box.
Do you have bathroom rug with bleach spots? Forget about spending money on a new one to replace it, this DIY is just what you need!
I am in love with these chandeliers! After making them I have been on the lookout for other lamp shades in different shapes and sizes! A perfect way to add some interest to any room!
Use your empty cans and make the coolest concrete vessels. Cost = pennies and no fancy mold... You will have your friends saying 'what the'?! (btw, be patient; apparently I am crashing the servers on my site)
Okay so for those of you who might actually still have some old cd's lying around- this is the perfect craft (assuming you no longer listen to them). And for you young in's- go hit up a thrift store! We have been super excited to add onto our zest little garden. From new plantings and labels to garden art- the list keeps growing! I think one of the best parts about gardens are that anything really goes! After all, it's supposed to be an adventure and show growth and creativity, right? So here is a little combo or creativity mixed with recycling too! Original Blog Post Photo Credit Anya McInroy
I have seen a lot of these TP Christmas wreaths on Pintrest and I really wanted to make one of my own.
One of my boys really needed some display shelves in his bedroom, so my husband and I used galvanized pipe, rope and wood to create some for him, inspired by some from RH Baby & Child.
Here is our version…
I wanted to build a light fixture for my kitchen - but meet local codes. This was how I did it. Anything hard-wired in becomes part of the home, where something plugged in has a lot less requirements. I still hope to 'overbuild' anything for safety as well as quality. It's a good idea to research your attic's construction, look for any low-hanging wires, and to learn about light color while you're at it. Light color is rated in ° K (Degrees Kelvin). White hot is just too bright for most homes, but just fine for Lowes, Target, and Home Depot. 2700° is a nice warm/cozy look, 3000° will brighten things up, 3300° is a typical office, and anything over 4000° is just too bright for a home in my opinion. NOTE: You must research your local codes. If in doubt contact an electrician. The new outlet in the ceiling does not require a GFCI if the outlet is 6' away from a sink. Since you're building your own light fixture, a power cord from a device plugging into the outlet 6' or less will typically keep an inspector happy should you ever sell your home.

Have a question about this project?
I don't have a question either,only that its so darn cute. I thought about something similar, but I thought about using a child's plastic chair (the one's they sell in the dollar stores) But yours is a piece of art....LOVE IT!
Agree, this is so cute and original! If I could fit it, one would be in my bathroom. Bet you could sell a ton of these at a flea market.
Pat Brinkley Spencer, this would be awesome in a larger bathroom for hand towels and washcloths. What a great idea. Amanda C, this re-purpose is awesome.
Fabulous DYI!!!! Such great directions l feel like I could do ! Many thanks,arcia
Ditto Tracy! I agree... this is sooo dang cute. I'm already looking for a space to hang one myself!
I saw a show on the Western Channel where the lead actress kept her chairs hanging on the wall. She had kept Jack Nickerson from being hung by marrying him. I thought it was ingenious for multiple reasons. More floor space. KEEP CLIMBING GRANDKIDS FROM USING A CHAIR TO GET IN "Danger Zones". Functional and just plain Cool. I LOVE THIS PROJECT JUST AS MUCH!!

This is how the Amish do it,,,they hang the chairs on the wall,,,more room it the house!
Can you give the height of the 'table' portion, please? GREAT job!
It looks like a bar stool so it may be about 32 inches, in case she doesn't see your question.
Looks like just regular chair height.
A regular chair would be about 18" seat height
18" seat height is right.
The point is to recycle an old wood chair. Size and shape do not matter
Ahhh sorry to be getting back to you so late! It was a strange height. It is slightly taller than a regular chair, but shorter than a standard bar stool. The seat was up 24" from the floor.
This is really nice. When you make yours post a picture with all 4 legs 🙂
Very very creative, I love it!!
The tip shelf wouldn't be a TOP shelf if hung the other way😊
how do you hang these shelves on the wall? I don't see what is making them stay there!
thank you
His Jackie,
She shows on Step 7 how and where she is attaching the wall hangers.
If you look closely you can see the small metal U-shaped wall hangers. ☺️
