A multi pane door provides ample opportunity to show off those family photos,
and with the addition of some hooks provides a place to hang your coats.
Original concept by The Raw Food family, a video tutorial can be found here.

I've been looking for an inexpensive way to make a shed for my gardening tools, I think
this might fit the bill.
A tutorial can be found Woohome.

Made into an arbour they make an unique focal point in the garden.

They are also an inexpensive way to make a big impact and drama in the bedroom.

Pop over to Fari Designs to see how her son created this dramatic
headboard for his bedroom.

Beckie at Infarrantly Creative shows how a curbside rescue became a beautiful headboard.

And finally, not recycled, but such a cute idea I couldn't not share.
