Looking for some Do It Yourself Projects for around the house this weekend?

You might find some inspiration here. Below are some modern twists on plumbing equipment made into furniture, decorations and even jewelry.

Here is an easy fixer-upper. Trying to make your kitchen cabinets more accessible? Try adding handles. Whether you are looking for a particular color scheme or are thinking of trying a modern take on your kitchen; start with small accents like these pipes. Not only will they make your kitchen one of a kind, but also some accents are even more affordable than other traditional store bought handles. Best part of these pipes – no repair necessary!

If you are looking for modern but simplistic shelving with a touch of rustic – you might have just found it. Although this is a do it yourself, make sure that the piping and wooden slats are properly planted to the ground and wall before putting storing anything too heavy on them.

Wanting an ultramodern bedroom set?

How clean is your plumbing… Clean enough to eat off of? This is a great simple table that shows your pipes are definitely clean enough and strong enough to eat off of. Might even remind you to call up your local plumber to make sure your real pipes look this good!
