Announcement: All the fortunate people who live in NY- this post is a treat. 

I stumbled upon this store while I was searching for the some pancakes and coffee; only to realize they have a bunch of them around the city. My blog is 9 months old now and during this courtship, you should have figured me and my love for old things. Imagine my excitement when I land in a store called "old good things" with a ton of old things reused to create some of the most fascinating furniture your space will house - I did sh-reek and hold my hands up on my mouth like Miss World {no that didn't happen guys, very close though}. Anyways, lets go back to decor, the point I was trying to make is - this stuff is amazing. Very inspiring for us unfortunate souls, who don't live in NY. Hopefully, we can make our own furniture.

Ever looked in your garage and wondered what to do with all the extra stuff? That's happened to me. I have had this situation many times considering my husband is a car junkie. Here's what I did with an old tyre which had run its course. I had actually made a similar one in college, when we were on a budget and needed side tables. I plan to use my new coffee table for out door entertainment. It actually looks great even in a lounging space or carefree living area.  Use, Reuse and Decorate is the motto here.

Like my model? Doesn't he add to the rugged look? Don't forget to leave your comments!
