Below are four projects that two roommates made for their apartment using only a drill and barely any money at all. You may have seen this if you follow Apartment Therapy, but I was so impressed by this I had to share!
The first project was this table made from reclaimed wood. All they used was church floor joists and legs from Ikea.
This pipe fitting bookshelves was made from some gas pipe from Home Depot and pine planks from a lumber yard, stained.
This modern sculpture is made from posterboard from Staples and cost only $5!
This credenza made into a DJ booth was a Craigslist find. Originally, it was very beat up, but after using sandpaper, wood filler, and stain, it looks great!
All of these projects prove that you can have an expensive look for very cheap!
