    About this ebook

    A collection of 23 inspiring, fun and easy DIY projects that will transform your home to the after part of a renovation show. Take everyday objects from around your home, or at least tell your friends they were, and turn them into benches, beds, knife blocks or barbeques. Create unique bespoke furniture in hours and put your personality into the very walls with simple and concise step-by-step instructions that are catered to endless levels of customization. 

    These projects take you through every room in the home and give ideas and guides for repurposing old furniture and objects or using cheap building materials to create new features. Turn an old desk drawer into a bookshelf and turn old books into new shelves. There are even projects for creating some of the tools you will need for other projects, or just for moments when you can't find the right sized paintbrush. 

    Create new storage spaces or kit out your garden with a pond or bench:

    23 unique projects that are designed to be exciting, cheap and useful.

    Projects to suit all time frames from a 30 minute lampshade to a Sunday spent creating a chair from a suitcase.

    Reach new level of luxury with a custom bathtub shelf or show off your spice collection with a magnetic spick holder.

      Diy Projects - Jay Gross

      Introduction

      This book is a collection of 23 fantastic DIY projects to kit your home out with unique looking artifacts or to spruce up your stale abode with new furniture. Most can be done on a single Sunday but hopefully what you create will last many Sundays to come. Unlike other DIY books or online lists there will no guides to color coding your garage and basements keys with nail varnish or instructions on making a pen holder out of a toilet roll. Nor will the projects require you scour all the dumpsters within a ten mile radius to find vintage lunchboxes or require three carloads of empty wine bottles. The projects in this book aim to be practical, easy and thrifty. The projects aim to give your home objects that you won't throw away when you're trying to clear space. 

      The projects attempt to repurpose items easily found within your home or the surrounding area (although it will lend itself to some surrounding areas better than others; I apologize in turn to city slickers on the tenth floor of an apartment building, country mice living in the woods without the benefits of a littering neighbor and to the lone sea captain reading this with only ocean for miles around). Some projects will invite you to keep them in mind on your day-to-day adventures in case you come across an attractive bucket or car tire. Others may profit from a quick Facebook message to friends with hoarding tendencies or a short browse of the free section of Craigslist.

      Some of the projects will require tools but they reside in the realm of tools that you would keep in a kitchen drawer or tool box. Where a project requires the rental of a pneumatic drill or glass blower it will be clearly listed before the instructions (note: even if a project suggested using these tools it will never be necessary, or even relevant, to the project). Nevertheless, it may still prove difficult for students, first-time buyers filling their homes or people in shared accommodation to get their hands on some basic tools. Luckily the first section of this very book includes guides to making three easily forgotten, or misplaced, tools that you will need for several of the other projects in this book. If you need a hammer, saw or scissors then, failing borrowing them from a friend, parent or landlord, you will have to buy them or get
