The dumpster has all the luxuries a person would ever want in their home, including a flat screen TV where you can watch your favourite films on DVD. This and more are what Kloehn has in mind, a neat idea to enhance fabricated living spaces.

Here is another uniquely designed chair for you, something with reuse ideas that could inspire you to turn trash into gold. The Spray Paint Can Armchair comes from Luigi Semerano and is composed of 200 empty cans of spray paint.

The cans are held into place by wooden panels which incidentally also features a footrest. While the chair is indeed impressive and is an eco-friendly masterpiece, it doesn’t look like the chair will be available for retail purchase. The chair was designed from the Milan Design Week 2011. Too bad, it could have really been something eco-friendly peeps would have loved to get.

Just how do we categorize antiques and quality furniture? Surely, most of us throw out old and used furniture for the purpose of replacing them with modern and new ones. However, it also remains that at times, old furniture has a place in the home of another.

So for homes and universities like Harvard University, perhaps some used quality furniture may be thrown away but could be of use to you. It doesn’t necessarily need to be tagged as trash. It just so happens that they are doing some Spring cleaning and apparently wanting to modernize their home. But while that is true, do remember, if in the eyes of one person they are trash, perhaps in the eyes of another it can be worth more than gold.

Harvard University gives away tons of used furniture and office equipment at its recycling center. Hammad Ahmed reports that these days it isn’t just thrift seekers picking through the piles and bins.

Many men have a difficult time finding a metal headboard for their bedroom that doesn’t look too plain or too feminine. The problem with metal is that it is too easily bent into a curved shape, and too many curves cause a uniquely feminine look. If you’re a single guy, the last thing you want to have is a metal bed that has a feminine look to it. Most men, however, enjoy metal and would like to have a metal bed, they just want to find one that looks as masculine as they feel.

The Ennis Headboard is a unique metal headboard that is like no other. This metal headboard is available in every possible size, from full to queen, and it is even available in the gigantic king size. The headboard curves only a slight bit, and the top of the curve is twisted so that it much resembles a thick piece of rope that has been twisted around, much like one that would be found on board a pirate ship. There are finials on top of each of the posts, but they are rounded in such a way that they do not look feminine at all, and slight arches inside of the headboard keep it from looking too boring or simple. Created by Hillsdale Furniture, this bed is available in a rubber gold and brown finish, the final touch that allows it to be titled as the best metal headboard for a gentleman’s room.
