THE KID ON A BUDGET

TOY DRAWER HANDLES

I’ve been out of tumblr these days, I’m kinda busy with my thesis. hehe

For now, I got you something really simple, haha, The picture above showing drawe handles made from toys, I think I don’t need to stretch it out in how to make it, it’s really obvious.. hehe..

TREE BRANCH ROOM DIVIDER

A tropical approach in a living room, tree branches/dead tree trunk used a as screen or room divider,you don’t actually need to do some sort of finishing to the tree trunk itself, to retain its natural look. :)

CAN LIGHTING:MANILA OCEAN PARK RESTAURANT

This is not actually new to me, what’s new is when I saw it in a classy restaurant at Manila Ocean Park.

PRETTY IN PINK PALLET OUTDOOR SOFA

Isn’t that outdoor sofa so nice? If not for the obvious pallet at the bottom, you wouldn’t really know that its made from pallets and those rustic looking pipes as a part of the arm rest adds some drama. :)

NINTENDO ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM : COFFEE TABLE

We’ve seen some superb retro projects before with the Giant NES Controller and DIY Pinball Coffee Table, but this Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) coffee table really raises the bar. The giant version of the original is not just for looks – the NES coffee table’s front cover has a fully functional jumbo sized NES controller for playing old 8-bit video games.

BOOK HEADBOARD

If you got some old books, then this is an artistic idea to create a headboard. I suggest using hard-bound covered, so it will be easy to sticked on a plywood. :)

PIPE LAMP

Obviously made from metal pipes… :P You can actually play with its form by using different connectors. :)

WASTE LANDSCAPE

An good example of how trash can be transformed into a unique art. This sculpture is made of old vinyl records, it can be placed on streets or anywhere you want it! ahaha! The idea came from a korean artist named Jean Shin.

TETRA BOX LAMP

These TetraBox Lamp are made by Malaysian designer

Ed Chew from recycled strips of empty Tetra Brik boxes. Packet drinks are one of the most favored soft drinks among Malaysians, they just love sipping packet drinks wherever they go and never actually bother about the thousands of boxes discarded off after each quench, despite knowing the fact that landfills across Malaysian country are bursting at the seams.The TetraBox Lamp gives these containers a new purpose by turning them into dazzling lampshades and makes funky and fabulous patterns when illuminated.

With their upholstered seats and stainless steel bases they make a quirky statement and could complete your counter, kitchen or bar.

SPRAY CAN CHAIR
