Turnlight. Apr 17, 2013 turnlight by Agnese Dal Pont, Agnese Nicchio, Barbara Mori, Carla D'andrea from italy designer's own words: tURNlight transforms the Urn from a simple ash container to a generator of emotions, radically changing the common concept of it. tURNlight is built with the ash itself to obtain a more profound contact with the deceased. The “contact” takes place on two levels: a physical level through the touch of the urn surface and a spiritual level, using the subconscious of the REM sleep, in which we are accompanied by a gradual shutdown of emitted light. The light emitted by tURNlight across holes in the surface reflects the soul of our Dear one and creates an immersive atmosphere thanks to the special lighting effect.

Turning It Home: Hello, Bathroom Shelves! Going into the Style Cure, I knew I wanted to replace the standard metal shelf in our bathroom with thick floating shelves. I also knew what wood I wanted to use for those shelves, which was a thick piece from a pile of scrap wood I bought at an estate sale. In order to achieve a floating shelf with the wood I had in mind, I would have needed floating shelf brackets like these. The problem with those brackets were A) the price, and B) the distance. Then, I saw this image on Pinterest and immediately knew I had found my solution. I spray painted them using the same can of paint I used for the cabinet knob, soap pump, and light fixture then installed them, upside down, on the freshly painted wall.

Once that was done, I moved on to preparing the shelves. I then set them up on the brackets to decide if I wanted to stain them or leave them be. ...and here is just one coat. Once all sides were sealed, I allowed them to sit overnight then quickly got to installed them. Cómo hacer una relajante fuente para interiores.

I mentioned in that post that I was open to suggestions and got the great idea to cover it in pennies and epoxy.

Well, EIGHT months later it is finally finished!

And that brings us to now. This is one of those projects that if I was to do it again it would be super easy.

However, if any of y’all want to make a penny countertop, then you are going to LOVE me for saving you a headache.
