Gilles Eichenbaum Garbage Lamps

Gilles Eichenbaum is a French Designer who makes amazing lamps from old cookware and other thing that definetely was not designed to be lamps.For example this lamp has name "Domestic Affairs" and it is made from iron and cake pan:ase 8.5 x 18cm.
My favorite lamp has name "Aubade". Gilles used kettle to create it. I really love this metal lacework. It looks so fragile and elegant
"Blanquette de Veau" is night-light made from aluminum pot. Gorgeous!
More of these cookware lamps and other lamps made from most unexpected things you can find on Gilles Eichenbaum personal webpage www.garbage-vpot.com

Knitted Furniture from Patricia Graf

Looks like knitting is an inexhaustible source for inspiration for designers and furniture makers. Earlier I have posted knitted chairs and knitted wallpaper. Today I found couple more unbelievable pieces of furniture related to knitting. These two amazing things were created by Patricia Yasmine Graf - young German designer. 
This crocheted stool has warm cozy looks and moreover it has integrated footwarmer. Great idea for cold winter evenings.
This crocheted easy chair is comfortable, beautiful and functional as well. It's tentacles can hold remote control, magazine or anything else you need to relax.
More cool furniture and creative accessories can be found on Patricia web-page www.pyg-design.de.

Cupboard Door-Gone-Art Desk

Author of this idea is Autie. She invented and created these funny and useful tables from real junk.
Детский стол для творчества 
Guess what is the source for these tables? Doors from old cabinets. Kids love art and their own craft table inspires them to do more and more. Children can seat on the floor and draw because of short table stands. Table top that can be opened is another great idea. That gives you space for paper, pencils and other crafts. 
As I mentioned before for creating such kid table you need doors, stands, paint, base, sand paper, screws, drill and everything you think will be useful for decorating.

First step is sanding of doors, you should remove old paint and/or finish. Clean up the door. Attach stands. If there are no door hinges you should attach them too. Now it's time to decorate. You can do whatever you want, for example you can use decoupage as Autie did.
Step by step instruction  and more pictures can be found here www.u-createcrafts.com. This web page contains huge amount of all kind of handmade and decorating.
