Sports Furniture

Because football season is upon us, I thought finding football and sports related furniture might be fun!
Not all of it fits the upcycle/recycle theme.

Typical Football Chair -- I could watch a couple of games from here!

chair made from recycled footballs

Soccer ball chair - 

the chrome base makes me think of the glorious 70s!

Another 70s find... beanbag chairs :)

Football helmet themed chair

claustrophobic for anyone??

For a boys room, the bed had yard lines,

and the headboard is like a scoreboard!

Go Home Team!

Couch made from recycled soccer balls

Innovative but I'm a little .... something

the uneven edges would drive me crazy :)

Football chair for an office!

Would this be the ultimate man-cave chair?

Seems like it to me!

And the tennis ball chair ... :)

Books, books, books

A room without books is like a body without a soul.

Storing books doesn't always have to be on straight, boring shelves... 

check out these different looks, including some upcycled ones!

 Since I'm the kind to read in bed, 

a headboard bookshelf is perfect for me

I like how the shelves are different shapes and sizes -- 

because not all books are the same! - all from the same Link

Love how they filled all that unused space over the door!

All around the fireplace looks so inviting - I'd put in bigger chairs tho :)

both from the same Link

An old ladder put to good use!! - Link

It was the guitars that caught my eye in this one - 

but the ladder shelf idea isn't bad either! - Link

 

Chairs !

Every time I look at a decorated room, I have to wonder about the chair that's inevitably placed there.  And then got to wondering what other people are thinking about when it comes to recycled furniture?

Check out the ones I found:

Recycled paper, or is it cardboard? - Link

A refrigerator?? Not so sure I'd be comfortable sitting IN this one

(And would my butt fit? lol) - Link 

Gun fans may appreciate this one! - Link 

And for you Building Block fans....  - Link

And the every familiar CDs or DVDs - Link

I liked this one, putting old suitcases to use ....  especially in purple!! - Link

Most of us remember bean bag chairs. 

Updated in newer colors, they're still cool! - Link

And for those of you who can't get enough shopping.....  :)  - Link

 Colorful way to hang small garden pots

 This vertical planter was built as a functional screen 

to hide an unsightly water tank from a kitchen window. 

A low-maintenance succulent pallet garden is a clever solution!

    Really like the window, the way the room seems to light up

Furniture

 I love to browse and see what others are thinking when it comes to upcycling or repurposing things.  Here are a few of the things I found interesting (along with their links)

 All the different drawers, fitted into one cabinet

I thought this table was very unique, for indoors or patio use!

The finish on this table fascinates me
