Upcycled & Repurposed Vintage Console TV's

If you love the Retro look then I've got just the thing for you:

Upcycled vintage console televisions! 

Yes, I'm talking about those gargantuan televisions of yesteryear that were 

more like pieces of furniture than the ultra light portable TVs we know and

love today. Check out what some folks created with old TVs, a few tools, 

some creative thought and a little ingenuity.

I'm sure you'll find these entertaining, to say the least!

This old TV is now a fish tank TV...sure to keep the cats entertained!

Creative Upcycled Kitchen Pot Racks

A suspended pot rack in the kitchen is perfect for keeping your extra 
pots and pans organized and out of the way, yet still within reach. 

But how about an upcycled pot rack? 
Take a look at how some creative folks used a little bit of creativity
 and ingenuity and repurposed unlikely objects into pot racks.
