Box Table and Chairs
This would be good for someone who needs to maximize the use of a small living area.

DIY Door Headboard
Turn an old door into a headboard. You’ll first need a door, the one here is a solid wood door that was found at a local salvage yard. Then add a post to each side of the door. You can also add a piece of molding to the top of the headboard to give it a more decorative/formal look. Then paint it whatever color you want and then paint a coat of sealer on it. You can also sand down the edges to give it a worn or distressed look if you like (which you can see in the up close picture of the top of the bed post in photo 4 ). This project took a couple of days to complete so it would make a great weekend project! :)
Magnetic Spice Rack
This is awesome! Costs a little to make (mainly the stainless steel plate) but still pretty cool.

Hanging Shelf
Fixer Upper DIY Project
I spent my spring break this past year fixing up this old trunk for my dorm room. It was a really fun project and it was pretty easy to do. I started by sanding it down and cleaning off any dirt on it. Then I reinforced the trunk lid with some metal brackets and spray painted the entire trunk black. I then lightly sanded the edges and surfaces to give it a distressed look and added handles to the side for show since it didn’t have any. I then attached black chains from the lid of the trunk to the base of the trunk so the lid would not swing back to far. I then sprayed everything with a clear semi glossy sealer to finish it. I later went back an lined the inside of the trunks with memorabilia items such as pictures, postcards, ticket stubs from concerts,maps, ect. to give it a bit of flare.
