Eight ingenious ideas for recycled furniture

1. Coffee table made with a barrel

You can use an empty barrel or cut one in half to make a nice coffee table. You can take it to your nearest carpenter to have it cut through. Sometimes empty barrels are provided with brackets on which they rest. These will help support your coffee table when you decide to cut the barrel in half.

• If you want you can polish and paint the barrel in your favorite color, but it may look better in its original color. If you don’t want to paint the barrel, at least give it a coat of lacquer or varnish.

• Place the two brackets on the floor and then the barrel.
• Finally, place a thick wooden plate over the barrel.

2. Window shutter tables

If you have old wooden windows that you no longer use, you can turn them into practical tables. Don’t forget to buy table legs that can support the weight. You can put these tables on your porch or in the hallway and place decorations and souvenirs on them.

3. Tire tables and chairs
