Wine Cork Turned Bath Mat

A project with a delicious process.
Cork being the resilient, unique and natural material it is, it’s perfect to transform into an upcycled treasure. This bath mat is not only functional, but super stylish and easy to make.

Ladder Turned Shelf

A different perspective on reading.
This is especially good for those tall books that don’t quite fit correctly in your standard shelving unit.

Rain Gutter Turned Salad Garden

The definitive organic siding.
A beautiful and fruitful way to reuse old gutters. From flowers to lettuce leaves, the gutters are the perfect recepticle to grow small plants for their draining abilities and angle to reach the sun.

Fork Turned Picture Stand

For your most flavorful photographs.
Understated yet totally unique. A great way to showcase your favorite two-dimensionals.

Shoe Storage Turned Herb Garden

Perfect to hang along a fence.
Another awesome idea in the gardening arena. When individual hanging flower plants are too cumbersome, get sleek with vertical gardening.
