Iron Pipes as Furniture
Saturday, March 1, 2014
Pipes aren't exclusive to plumbing, they also make great bases for furnitures. They are versatile and customizable like fun little lego pieces.
Table DIY
B E F O R E
I had this table from ikea (of course) for about 3 years, and it was one of those "what was I thinking?" buys.
I guess at the time, I thought picking out different colour legs was ~fun and quirky~, but now, it's an absolute eye sore.

I picked out black iron pipes from Home Depot, and it was NOT cheap! Those little pieces, while individually inexpensive, really does add up.
But my justification for this was that I can always use them for (down the line) something else. For now, I really dig the raw industrial vibe. A much needed upgrade.
The only problem is that the table is now significantly higher, which means I need taller chairs/ bar stools.
Industrial high chairs and stools inspo:
Praying to the thrift store, flea market, Ebay GODS for some luck.
If I can't find anything, there's always sweet, dependable Ikea.
Ottoman/ Leg Rest DIY
B E F O R E
I'm sure most people have this side table.
T O O L S
I had most of these things lying around:
- Twin size memory foam (Target Clearance // $13 bucks // My family member(s) who slept on it didn't care for it.)
- Black curtains (Walmart // Like, $5 bucks? Maybe even cheaper? // Bought 'em 2 years ago. Never used them.)
- Ikea side table that I bought 5 years ago.
They were just collecting dust, so I decided to repurpose them as a leg rest.
As a Home-body, it is crucial to have a good leg rest, okay?
