Upcycled baby drawer



       Finally I managed to spend some time on a project for my two new expected sweethearts! I had this old drawer that took some repair with PVA glue and some screws, some cleaning of course and polishing too :












            Then I used some paint and an old Japanese comic t-shirt for decoration:






              And the result looks approximately like this:  








               Any ideas to improve this?

The toilet paper roll mirror frame

       
 

     A few months ago I started collecting the toilet paper rolls with no purpose in particular. Then I thought about wrapping around them pieces of ribbons and old cloth, any kind of useless fabric that somehow ended in my ultimate collection of garbage...
 
  
    
      Then I came with the idea of making a mirror out of them. So I used a rectangular piece of MDF 80 X 65 cm and painted the 10 cm thick part that would become the frame with chrome effect color spray. I glued a 60 X 45 cm sized mirror on the MDF using silicon glue:


  

      After 24 hours I started gluing the rolls on the frame with PVA glue:


     

      I forgot to mention that I partially painted the inner tube of the rolls (the mirror side)

       

      And here is the result:





    I'm thinking about installing lights through the rolls for a greater effect! Voila my new bedroom mirror!

my new grater lamp


  Hello! I haven't been here for a while due to some really big changes in my life. One of these is that we moved to a new and bigger apartment  that needs a lot of things to be done.
One of my new projects is transforming this ordinary grater into my bedroom lamp:







 First I painted it with plastic colors and nail polish...












Then I added this strange hair accessory my father brought me from Egypt once upon a time 














And here is the result

















And lit:
