To reward myself for a visit to the grocery store (hate the monotonous weekly trip), I wandered down the magazine aisle. I hadn't planned on stopping, but when the little lady decided the greeting cards were fun to pull out and put in different spots, I enjoyed a few minutes of uninterrupted inspiration. I LOVE magazines. Definitely on the top of the list, right up there with the smell of melted butter and going barefoot on thick, cushy grass.
So what caught my eye in those few minutes of bliss? An ottoman made from an old cable spool I spied in
ReadyMade mag. They had a cool
contest, and
this was one of the winners. Apparently you can get old wire cable spools for free from your local hardware store or from Craigslist. I'm going to ask next time I go, I'll let you know.
Reused, repurposed, FREE. I dig it. Here's the inspiration:
And some more cool furniture made from cable spools:
I'm feeling a project coming on. Who can't use more seating in their space?
