  • Storage Bench

    2 of 10

    Build a storage bench to create a fun entryway stash place. Crop off a pair of stepladders; then top them off with a wood board and a splash of colorful paint.

  • Hip Headboard

    3 of 10

    Make your own design-wise headboard in minutes by covering a piece of plywood with a grid of circular stickers and painting over them.

  • Painted Runner

    4 of 10

    Recycle a stained sisal rug (or customize a new one) by marking off a zigzag stripe pattern on top with a ruler and tape, and then painting every other row.

  • Starburst Clock

    5 of 10

    Crafted from circles made of paper boxes, wooden sticks and a clockworks kit, this starburst clock in Pop Art colors is a light-hearted update on a classic mid-century design.

  • Studded Frames

    6 of 10

    We love studded handbags and belts, so these chic frames are a natural extension of a favorite style. Transform simple wooden picture frames by hammering large and small upholstery nails around the edges, in any pattern your heart desires.

  • Magazine Holder

    7 of 10

    An antique urn doubles as a statement-making magazine holder — simply glue in a fabric lining.

    Inspire a child to tell time (and dream of traveling the world) by setting up this worldly clock in his or her bedroom or playroom. It’s cleverly made of desktop globes and an oversize clock kit.

  • Fabric-Covered Bin

    9 of 10

    Reinvent plastic storage bins as chic stowaways by gluing on fabric in a fun pattern or color; then drill holes to attach rope handles.

    10 of 10

    Take your plants to new heights by removing the back of an old ladder and painting it a fresh new hue. Secure it with wall brackets and you've got an inventive plant or display stand.
