2. Furniture and decor from old sports equipment

Do you still think that dominoes are not a sport? Summer Championships dispel your doubts. It is ideal to play in the fresh air under the clock of knuckles of our own production. Sports equipment that has expired will still come in handy: for example, from skiing you can put together an elegant hanger for the hallway. And to insert mirrors into tennis rackets – this will be a fun and unbanal presentation.

3. A lamp or flowerpot from a birdcage

Keeping birds in captivity is no longer customary – use the cage for decorative purposes. Put flower pots in it – it will be convenient to care for the plants, because the lid is removed. The cage can be placed on the veranda, suspended on a tree or under the roof.

In the interior, using such an object is even easier: load the cage with cute vintage little things, they are always found in abundance in the country. Make a lamp or a mini-storage for books out of it – it looks unusually romantic.

4. Country furniture from pallets

Wooden transport pallets are used even in urban interiors – it is simply unthinkable to do without them in the country. Armchairs, sofas and even hanging beds from pallets are quite easy to make yourself. The main thing – do not forget to cover the wood with protective impregnation or special moisture-resistant paint. And decorate your furniture with elegant textiles.
