Do you have any unwanted doors or cabinet doors? If you do
and would like to upcycle them, here are some cool ideas you could do with
them.
For unwanted doors, you could make tables out of them!
(Below is the link to access the tutorial on how to make a table of your choice.)
I even have some friends who have done this. They were given
a few bar stools for free and found a decent height table at a garage sale.
Instead of buying a bar table for their dining room for a few hundred dollars,
they created a style they liked and only paid $40 in total to upcycle it. They
even stripped the old bar stools down, re-padded them and styled them with
fabric they liked and now have a new table for their own dining room.
(Here is what they made.)
You can even turn some cabinets into benches with shelving
storage. If you like what you see, the link below is how to recreate this
master piece.
While hunting around
for other ideas to spice up one’s own home, I discovered someone who upcycled
their child’s old crib into a dog kennel. The link below is how you can create
it.
All of these ideas, are ways that people can help save their
environment as well as save money. For example, look at what my friends were
capable of! They refurnished free bar stools and found a cheap table from a
garage sale that saved them a bunch of money. If they had not refurnished the
table and bar stools, where would the products have gone?
.....To the landfill....
Does
anyone realize we are running out of space for landfills and that all the
landfills are leaking into the Earth and polluting the environment? Unfortunately
people now days are still not as educated on this problem. Or if they are, they
feel they don’t have the ability to help out in their own homes. But by
upcycling products that are within your own home. instead of tossing them out, is
helping to save the environment one product at a time!
