What's That ?! I'm looking at the picture, and I'm thinking to myself, "What's that ?!" The site is in french, but I knew the table was recycled and repurposed...but from what? Ready for this? Repeat after me...a washing machine drum! Made by Isa also has more great repurposed and recycled projects that you'll want to see. And it seems as though the French have a thing for washing machine drums. After stumbling on these two tables, of course I was curious. I also have to include this little BBQ because it is so deliciously rustic in its natural environment. This practical drum-turned-fire pit comes from Dr. Now, back to France. The more you look...the more you find. First life...cleaner. And these come to us from Bulgarian Alex Kovatchev via Yanko Design. This column lamp from Paul Morini really would be the perfect compliment to any warehouse loft or space. This is the waiting room at a medical office in France. By nature, a washing machine is quite DIY. Until next time... Mike Stumble this post
A Beautiful Mess: Home Decor Hi guys, Mandi from Making Nice in the Midwest here! Recently I was really impacted by this Don Draper quote that come across my Pinterest feed: "Make it simple, but significant." Lately I've been attempting to live out this mindset in how I decorate our home, and seeing that quote was a powerful way of putting what I've been feeling into words. I think having less things can be challenging for certain people (like myself), but really cutting back and focusing on the impact of simple and beautiful things can make a home environment more enjoyable to live in. We've been updating our little mid century ranch little by little, and most recently purchased this beautiful vintage-inspired light from CB2. Before installing it, I thought we had a great opportunity for a simple but significant decorative element on the ceiling. Supplies: Step One: Draw lines diagonally from the corners of the square piece of plywood and also across the middle of each side. -Mandi

Here's a small collection of DIY mason jar projects I’ve found most inspiring lately. If you have a ’must see’ mason jar project, leave a comment at the end of this post with the website so we can all check it out. Have a seat in the blue velvet chair, relax, and enjoy the show! Who can resist these cookie mix cuties - spotted at Bakerella. They call this one the redneck wine goblet. Away from the kitchen and on to the home decor. It's simple and effective - as seen at Napa Style. It's no wonder this beauty is for sale at Etsy. This casual chandelier was used in a wedding tent, but would be fab in a dining room as well. They were just experimenting and ended up with this little wall light gem - at Kelly + Olive. I think I would have preferred that all the jars were the same size, but kudos to Liz Marie for this project. I love this pin cushion from Andy Rubio. p.s.
whitney’s mason jar lights growing up in the south, i have a special place in my heart for mason jars. i enjoy them filled to the brim with icy sweet tea, but this fun project from d*s reader whitney gaylord may be my new favorite way to enjoy them. unlike most of our other diy projects, this one will require a bit of professional help (installing anything involving electricity is no joke) but the majority of the steps are easy to handle and will require only a quick call to your local electrician (home depot offers these services, too) to install the final project. click here for the full instructions or just click “read more” below – thanks to whitney for sharing! mason jar lights what you’ll need: -vintage mason jars -hanging lamp kit with low wattage bulbs (try your local lighting store, home depot or lowes) -ceiling light plate 3. tighten the lid back on the jar and adjust the bulb to its desired height (using the tension clasps).
Build a vertical aquaponic veggie & fish farm for small yards & houses This low-cost vertical aquaponic system can grow leafy greens, herbs and raise fish for a small family year round, and it fits in a 5' by 3' space. Sean Brady, the aquaponics projects coordinator at the Center for Sustainable Aquaponics and Nourish the Planet in Loveland, Colo., showed us how to build a system from scrap he found around the greenhouse. We published a version of this how-to guide at engineeringforchange.org, and it's one of the good ones, so we'd like to share it with Instructables, too. What it is A vertical aquaponic system grows vegetables without soil in columns above a fish tank. By growing vertically, you can produce about twice the amount of plants as you can with a hydroponic system of the same area. One five-foot tower can produce more than 200 heads of lettuce per year. The system puts fish waste to work as fertilizer for crops. You do have to replace lost water as needed, power the pump and feed the fish. Build time About two hours.
