He Broke His Leftover Tile To Make Something Epic In His Guest Shower


When Redditor power-cube took a long look at their guest bathroom, they saw a million different ways it could be improved. By simply using the bathroom’s old tiles and some assorted materials, the master renovator greatly improved the once-dull room and turned it into a tastefully brilliant shrine to their artistic ability.




This is how the bathroom originally looked.




Kind of bland, right?





So, they decided to add this lizard design to the shower.







They filled in the lizard with gold glass shards and blue porcelain pieces, while adding more tiles to the wall.







After adding even more tiles, they covered the shower with a waterproof sealant.







A dragonfly was added on the opposite wall to compliment the lizard.











Grout was applied to everything and sanded for a smooth, finished look.







They even added glass doors to compliment the refurbished shower.







All done…the finished bathroom looks amazing!

This bathroom looks infinitely better than it did before. By using old tile and a few extra materials, power-cube completely transformed their guest bathroom into an amazing display of their creativity.



You Can Easily Reorganize Your Closet Just By Using A Hanger And A Hot Glue Gun


If you’ve been dreading the idea of organizing your closet, fear not. This little trick will get the clothes off of your floor and keep them on the hangers where they belong. By simply using a hot glue gun and a wooden hanger, you can create a no-slip fix for those pesky clothes that often fall to the floor.

You Can Literally Turn Anything You Want Into A Table With This Invention


When it comes to building something for my home, I usually do a lackluster job and create something that looks pretty goofy in the end. Could this be attributed to my crippling fear of saws and sharp objects? Perhaps, but it’s probably also due to my lack of DIY know-how.


Luckily, I never have to worry about coffee tables again. These two ingenious women just created a tool that takes pretty much any flat surface and converts it into a chic table. They’re so easy to use that even I could put a table together in seconds! That’s no small feat.




Erika and Maria graduated with architecture degrees in Barcelona. After becoming frustrated with their furniture, they created the SNAP.






The SNAP is a steel leg that easily attaches to surfaces to create shelves and tables.




They come in a variety of heights and colors, and they come off just as easily as they clip on.





Here, the SNAP is attached to an old surface to create a lovely outdoor table. This is a great way to upcycle old materials!




The legs can hold up to 154 pounds. Yes, those little clips can almost hold the weight of a person!





You can also use the SNAP in the living room…






…or anywhere you want, on pretty much anything.




Have any wooden crates or pallets lying around? With a little help from the SNAP, you can have a unique coffee table or shelf in seconds.





Watch this video to see the SNAP in action.

They had me at no drilling necessary.


SNAP is currently in the midst of a successful Kickstart campaign, to which you can still contribute here. The first SNAPs are scheduled to ship in October, so if you’re as pumped for an effortless fall DIY project as I am, then it’s worth looking into.
