Zebra Fitness Cube

Check out this chic fitness cube by Domyos….It has 30 exercises in one cube!!  I love the zebra print version, you would never guess it converted into a workout bench! The best part is it is only 19″x19″ square so you could also use it as a stool.

Abs of Steel

Get super toned abs with this retro designed ab cruncher by Domyos. It looks like a version of the mid century modern EamesTulip Chair! It comes in a variety of colors to fit any decor.

Punching Bag Sofa

This convertible boxing sofa totally kicks butt…literally! Kick boxing is one of the best ways to shaping up your rear end, not to mention great cardio. You can also use this sofa as a punching bag and knock out all of your daily frustrations. It’s sleek organic design by Campeggi is perfect for a modern home.

Now I’m pumped to start my workout!

Cheers to a fit and fabulous 2012,

You know the ol’ saying, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure? It’s true!  With people becoming more aware about environmental impacts of daily used items, designers are discovering creative ways to transform everyday trash like soda pop tabs into cool accents for your home.

Here’s a light fixture that would look ace in a trendy restaurant or modern kitchen.  I wonder how many soda cans it took to make this chandelier?

This former shopping cart has a new name Annie for it’s new purpose as a retro style chair. Reestore has a wonderful collection of reclaimed goods turned into furniture that you would hardly believe were ever thrown away.

Kevin Day WeldingThese marvelous bar stools made entirely out of recycled car parts were created by artist, Kevin Day, who just so happens to be my brother too.  Check out his website Day Welding to view more metal artwork and other sculptural pieces.

Finally, if you have large pieces of trash and are not creative enough to transform it into an art piece, you can hire an eco-friendly junk removal service like Group Junk and make sure it is recycled and not trashed.

What can you salvage and turn into furniture or art?
