Nice list. I like the door to table one. I have a door like that in my attic being used as a talking platform atm.

I did the door thing from a metal door my dad replaced at his house. I didn't refinish it though. It's going to be a work table once the addition is built so no sense messing up new finish.

Some of the ideas seem a little goofy like the nintendo lunchbox. lol. We're not the consumerist type so most of these things never see our home, like magazines. Most of my reused stuff is wood and metal. The only time we reuse a plastic is if it's strong and we try not to buy many plastic products at all. That's where a huge amount of oil goes in the U.S. these days. Plastic products.
