Old School Vinyl Records Recycled Into Nostalgic Retro Lamps
One thing I wish I kept from my childhood is my parent's old record player. I sold it in a garage sale for a couple bucks about a decade ago, and I've regretted it every since.

Beautiful Birdhouses Created From Trash Decorate Urban Areas

Ultimate iPhone Dock For The Retro Traveling Geek
It's funny how a new gadget can make you stop using your old gadgets. Take the iPhone 5 for example with its new Lightning connector.

Cork Portraits: “Put A Cork In It” Gets A Whole New Meaning
The materials used to create art just 20 years ago were limited to pretty much a brush, some color and of course the canvas.

Steampunk Animal Trophies: A Valuable Recycling Lesson
It's always strange to me whenever I see stuffed animal heads hanging on the wall in someone's home. I know that to a hunter, killing a deer, for example, might be considered a big victory.
