But Instructables user cabueckers certainly didn’t spend that much on his.

Not even close, actually. By the time all was said and done, he shelled out less than $50. After picking up an old door that he found on Craigslist for $10, he decided to turn it into a gorgeous statement piece for his living room.

Check out his process below if you want to add one of these beauties to your home!

Here’s what the door looked like when he bought it. Nothing special, right? But not for long!

First, he measured the 3 sections of panels he’d need to construct the coffee table — 2 shorter ones for the legs and a longer piece for the tabletop.

After those were cut, he fastened the legs to the top with wood glue and heavy screws.

He recommends using depth guides to ensure that the screws get in far enough to hold everything in place without breaking through to the other side.

After that, all it needed was a nice coat of paint! The clever crafter used sandpaper to strategically scrape some of it away for a more rustic look.

Looking at the finished product is giving me a serious case of living room envy.

Home decor can cost a ton, but if you start looking at offbeat materials in more inventive ways, there’s no limit to what you can do on a budget! Will you give this project a try?

Original table

This took a week to make (40 hours). The most difficult part was measuring, as I’m not good at it. I know there is seemingly only room for 2 players, but I didn’t want to make the board too small. We Canadians are resourceful people. We can make it work!

Essentials

Original Draft

Pencil Outline

Etched outline

I used a knife to carve out the outline before using the burner. This was a huge help to keep the chisel in place when burning it in.

First coat of varnish

Trying to show the etchings

I got caught up in what I was doing and forgot to take pictures. Here is the first coat of acrylic varnish I found under my sink.

Another angle

In Jail!

Someone mentioned that it looked like a chocolate bar.

Full shot

Some strongly dislike how I blotched the stain, but I kinda like it. It looks old, rustic, used, and abused. It will also hide any future spill, wear, or tear. I’m a happy camper!

Some people feel the need to throw out old furniture. Maybe they think it’s too old, or too ugly, and they believe that the only thing they can do is throw it away. But if there’s one thing we can learn from the DIY ethic, it’s that nothing should go to waste, even if it takes some work to save. And that’s what one guy did when he bought this old coffee table at a flea market. The thing had seen better days and definitely wasn’t something you’d want to display in your living room. Check out how he turned the beat-up table into an awesome new ottoman.

A little handy work was required to allow for the proper space to fit the multiple air pumps and LEDs.

With the right combination of planning, skill, and execution, people can accomplish some pretty awesome things.

A reddit user called mattdat recently posted an incredible DIY project he built from scratch. There are people in the world who are handy enough to build their own fish tank or coffee table. This guy took it a step further and built a fish tank-coffee table! (That’s right, it’s a thing.)

Without a doubt this is one of the coolest DIY projects I’ve ever seen, and it was done flawlessly. This is not your average project, this is next-level stuff.

This fish tank took months of planning, but the results were well worth all the preparation.

It’s always a good idea to make sure all of the electronics work before you put everything together.

And what comes with a lot of LEDs? Lots of really fun wiring! This may be a tedious step in the process, but it all went toward making an awesome fish tank.

He also installed a model of an aircraft carrier in the tank with a biological filter at the top. Gotta keep that water clean.

Once everything was installed, it was time to start filling up the tank slowly but surely.

Of course every fish tank needs some decorations – some vividly colored coral definitely does the trick.

The finished product – once it’s all put together, the hard work, time, and effort it took to build this thing definitely looks like it paid off. The tablet sitting on the tank is a remote control to adjust the LED lights inside of the tank.

The LEDs can be adjusted to a wide range of colors, and the way the lights glow through the water is really beautiful.

It definitely seems like the aquatic-life are pretty happy with the new tank.

This is a pretty amazing accomplishment, and one that took some serious skill to complete.

Everyone remembers their first video game console. Whether it was a Telstar, Atari or Nintendo, you probably hold that system very near and dear to your heart. In the past, video games were so cutting edge, most kids would kill to play them for hours on end. I still fondly look back on old games systems with their blurry graphics and clunky controllers. I’m not saying I would necessarily trade a contemporary console for an old one, but I have no problem with being a little nostalgic.

The Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) is one of the most recognized game consoles from the early days of at-home gaming. Miller Woodshop decided to do something inventive with the game console’s simple controller design.

This table is handmade and was crafted to the exact specs of the NES controller. Only, you know, a lot bigger.

This gigantic controller certainly adds a new element to playing those old Nintendo games. You probably need at least two people to work the controls.

An item like this would certainly show a true fan’s love and nostalgia for this old system. Even though it’s not the prettiest controller, it was what every gamer had to own during its time.

Sparkling Crystal Table

Interior design can be a tricky task to accomplish for the layman. Most people don’t have the time, skill or budget to perfectly design and Feng Shui their own home. However, don’t give up if a well-designed apartment or home is your goal.
An impressive interior design scheme can be accomplished simply if you have a creative focus piece, like one of these tables. These pieces of furniture are so incredible, you could design a whole room around them (i.e., not design the rest at all). Any room could go from “blah” to “brilliant” with one of these tables.
