There are lots of peculiar hobbies out there, and this next one is no exception. Showcasing both talent and great craftsmanship, a chairmaker called @AbChigz on social media is transforming old bathtubs into unique pieces of furniture.
The talented designer found his true passion while building traditional furniture pieces, such as tables and chairs, but stumbled upon some old bathtubs that have been thrown out by their owners. It is no surprise that his creations went instantly viral on the Internet, as their quirkiness and designer-piece feel have gained him a big community of followers.
He is transforming each piece in his garden, and the pictures posted on social media show before and after images of the “bathtub chairs”.
The tweet originally posted by @IamMartyMarty has gathered a staggering number of 69,000 likes and many retweets. The end products look like retro chairs, almost resembling 1960s design pieces frequently featured in classic films, such as James Bond and other spy movies

Rethink, Reuse, Reduce, Recycle

SHARE this with your friends and family. Toilet paper rolls seem pretty useless once they got no more toilet paper left on them and they usually end up in the garbage. But what if you start reusing these toilet paper rolls in your DIY projects instead of throwing them out? As it turns out, the rolls are more useful than they might seem at a first glance and here’s a selection of clever ways in which you can reuse them. For instance, you can cut the toilet paper rolls, paint them and make a beautiful decorative mirror for your wall by creating a flower shape out of these rolls around a mirror. Or you can always recycle toilet paper rolls and make a storage unit out of them for your child’s toys. But if you like gardening then you might be surprised to find out that toilet paper rolls can also be used to build seed starters as the cardboard will slowly decompose over time. These are only a few of the clever list of tips you can find. What do you think? Would you ever consider toilet paper roll art?

A Coffee Cup That Has Native Seeds Embedded Within The Material To Be Used For Reforestation In Your Local Communities. https://goodshomedesign.com/a-coffee-cup-that-has-native-seeds-embedded-within-the-material-to-be-used-for-reforestation-in-your-local-communities/ https://goodshomedesign.com/a-coffee-cup-that-has-native-seeds-embedded-within-the-material-to-be-used-for-reforestation-in-your-local-communities/#comments Wed, 10 Feb 2016 16:50:02 +0000 http://goodshomedesign.com/?p=33616 biodegradable-plantable-coffee-cup-reduce-reuse-grow-1

Taking care for the environment proves to be much easier than thought about decades ago. A biodegradable coffee cup embedded with seeds that grow into trees may have sounded like science-fiction a few years back, but now it’s a reality! The idea comes from California-based company called Reduce. Reuse. Grow and its main designer Alex Henige. How can a cup of this thinness keep the seeds unaffected whilst the process of drinking coffee is also uninterrupted? The answer lies in the paper and the liner which absorb a lot of the heat of the coffee. Thus, the seeds are not affected directly and you can safely drink your favorite hot beverage. After you come to your senses from all the awesomeness this kind of product entails, check out how works what looks like a normal cup!

Creative Ways to Reuse and Recycle Old Chairs https://goodshomedesign.com/creative-ways-to-reuse-and-recycle-old-chairs/ https://goodshomedesign.com/creative-ways-to-reuse-and-recycle-old-chairs/#comments Fri, 22 Aug 2014 00:01:00 +0000 http://goodshomedesign.com/?p=19529 how-to-recycle-old-chairs-1

If you have an old, broken or useless chair at home, do not rush to throw it. You can still use it as such or in pieces, by giving it another use than the “classical” one. A good solution for small chairs, like those of children, is to turn them into a rack shelving by hanging them on the wall .If you have a garden, you can give it a special look by transforming an old, interestingly shaped chair into a flower pot. You can paint or treat the chair with mordant, if deteriorated or doesn’t have the look desired. Another interesting idea would be to use a chair as a swing. If you have a chair with broken or uneven legs, remove the legs and use only the seat or the backrest.

Creative Ways To Reuse An Old Ladder https://goodshomedesign.com/creative-ways-reuse-ladder/ https://goodshomedesign.com/creative-ways-reuse-ladder/#respond Sat, 11 Jan 2014 10:51:27 +0000 http://goodshomedesign.com/?p=14235 creative-ladder-shelf

Who said ladders are just for climbing was most probably an uninspired technical oriented mind. The truth is that you can do more with a (big and clumsy, isn’t it?) ladder not only outside the house but indoor as well. So, step up into the wonderful world of DIY repurposing. Here are a bunch of creative ideas for making shelves that you can implement in your own home.

Try to transform the outdated double standing wooden ladder into a lovely flower stand with the help of some colored boards. Continue to improve your living room by cutting a ladder and placing it on the wall. This will be a perfect storage for books, photos and others of this sort. You could paint it in a bright color and decorate according to the room’s design.

The kitchen can also be a good place for the ladder will be useful as well as a creative design piece. With the help of some chains and hinges, transform your regular ladder into a hanging storage unit for all of your pans, pots, bowls, spices or ingredients. Just as good, the ladder can make a clever addition to the bathroom. Towels or bath products will look great on it. Also, the method works for a flower stand in the balcony.

Or you could break the ladder into pieces, paint them in different colors and assemble into a nice bookshelf or entertainment center holder. Look at the pictures and find the perfect style for your home. Be inspired and good luck!
