pipe down

 I've been coming across a lot plumbing pipe furniture in the past few days. I don't if this is an upcoming trend. Or maybe I just missed the bandwagon. Regardless, I really like what I see! 

I'm sure you've all seen the pipe shelving—even if you haven't, the Stolmen line at Ikea seems to have been inspired by it, and I know you've all seen those! But I'm talking full-fledged furniture! Chairs, benches, tables and beds just to name, well, most.And there are tons of downloable DIY plans available online. 

If you're feeling crafty and know what epoxy copper and a boring bit are and have a couple of sawhorses lying around, I strongly encourage you to Google-search it and make one! 

Then, I—again—strongly encourage you to send it on over my way, or at the least tell me what a boring bit is... oh, and lend me your sawhorses.

I especially adore this DIY featured on Martha Stewart! I've been wanting a bench for our narrow entrance, but was worried too crowd it. This hands-on approach would allow for some customized tweaking.
