I’m one of those people that is constantly looking for alternative uses for ordinary objects- I always want to take something useful and make it beautiful, or take something beautiful and make it useful.
These 4 objects, simple and clever are all so inspiring. Once ‘upcycle fever’ attacks, it’s tough to throw things out because even the most mundane object- old drawers and wine bottles- can become a true design object.
Have you thrown out anything lately that could have become something useful? I try not to (although admittedly, at times the habit can facilitate my pack-rat like tendencies!) – I’m working on striking the balance!
1. Pinhole Camera from Vintage Book
2. Dresser from Ruler
3. Wine Bottle Vases
4. Drawers become furniture

Number four from design milk would make an ideal little entryway piece for a colourful little home over in the UK. If I ever hear of anyone who might fit that bill I’ll have to let them know… ;) !!
