Recycle Old Furniture Into a Pretty Wall Unit
November 6, 2009 at 7:00 AM by Cafe Sheri - Comments (4)
That's what furniture designer Thomas Wold has done!
Aren't these two wall units incredible? They're constructed with lots of recycled drawer fronts and other pieces of furniture.
This seems like it could be a wonderful DIY project for the extra creative and extra talented. For pieces this elaborate, you need to have a good eye for detail, design, and material collaboration, as well as some construction expertise, especially for stability and safety sake!
But I can't help but drool and love the eco-value of such a project — genius creative reuse that puts old furniture back into play in a lovely way. Check out Thomas's Piecemeal Coffee Table too. *sigh*

Have you ever tried to mix and match two pieces of furniture? Did it work?

I love it when people reuse old things to make new things. That is so cool looking.
I like it because you can use any style of furniture you want. You could even do clean lines if that's your style. Personally, I'd go for the uniform color like the all white, but I can surely appreciate the colorful one for its artfulness. True, DogsMom, not many could get away with that first look. It's pretty Alice in Wonderland. :)
I love it! That is so totally awesome!

Incredible, yes. Eclectic, definitely. "Pretty," (?) eye of the beholder.
They are "green" and one of a kind. Looks like a first apartment thing one would look back on, and be glad one no longer has. For sure a conversation starter - and maybe even a donation generator.
That is stretching the definiton of "artsy." You would have to continue the look throughout the room. I love exlectic and unexpected, but I am not going to be a trendsetter in this style.
