Very often, interesting solutions for the home or cottage are right before our eyes. But we don't pay attention to them because we think they've already served their purpose. Today, we'll show how, with a little creativity, you can give new life to old items and make your home truly unique.

1. TV Bar

For this purpose, an old Soviet set-top box works perfectly. Remove the CRT (you can safely throw it away) and keep just the casing. You can use it in its original form, or additionally coat it with lacquer. Hang a flat lamp inside, and your bar is ready. You can place glasses and cocktail accessories on top.

2. Original Planter

Old rubber boots can be used on the cottage as hanging flower beds. Simply place plants in plastic pots inside them. Use them for real plants in summer and artificial ones in winter. The hole in the boot for the flower is only a plus: excess water drains away and roots are ventilated.

3. Mini Vase

Have you ever noticed how elegant the shape of ordinary light bulbs is? Why throw away such beauty?! Make mini vases from them. It looks charming and very romantic!

4. Candle Holder

A wine bottle makes a perfect candle holder. Let the wax flow freely down its sides – soon the bottle will become an elegant decoration. Many restaurants design their entire interior around such simple details.

5. Unusual Key Holder

Clever idea: use old keys as keyring holders for current keys. Simply bend them and nail them to a board. It's stylish and economical.

6. Handmade Photo Frame

If you're changing windows in your apartment or cottage – keep a couple of old window sashes. You can make very interesting photo frames from them. By the way, in America, artists paint pictures on old windows.
