Pinterest really is a creative hub for DIY projects and you will be sure to find some inspiration there, it is where I found some really gorgeous re-purposing ideas. One of my favourites was turning a bed frame into an outdoor bench and making shelving units into coffee tables! However, if you think that is too much of a big job, you can always stick to easier solutions like simply using a stool as a bedside table or using old window frames and picture frames!
