These are fantastic. I particularly love the bicycle wash basin. I’m not so sure about using books for shelving and benches though. What if you want to read them?

>Rachel, they are great ideas. As for the books, I imagine they are either read or from the opshop.

The bike sink is amazing. every time I see it I picture the amount of dusting I would end up doing around those spokes. 🙂 The library counter from books is fantastic. Just think of all the books that they have to retire because they are falling apart beyond the point of being repairable, what a great use for them.

>lsf, dusting would be a problem. But old and dilapidated books, is a ggod idea; although I would have the spines showing outward, and then lacquered.

I agree with you on the spines. Personally I would love to wait at a library counter while I read the spines, and the older the book the more lovely they are.

Oh yes, they would have to be real books and not paperbacks.
