There are many ways to convert old metal drums or chemical barrels into something more useful. With the right idea, these over-sized cans can be turned into an armchair, a side table with a hidden bookshelf, or even a simple barbecue grill. Given the small size of this old drum I had, it was the perfect size for a stool that doubles as a side table with hidden storage. Starting off with the rusty top, it was replaced with a removable lid made of wood planks and finished with a clear coat of lacquer. Next was a quick clean of the drum body and a coat of lacquer as well to keep the can clean to the touch and prevent further corrosion. Lastly, a couple of right sized ball casters give this stool the mobility I need to move it and use it wherever I want. I now have a multi-functional industrial piece that sits perfectly well beside my cozy couch.

The Boardroom Table is simply that, a table for that small office boardroom. The piece itself used to be an old basketball board until it was remade into this bright yellow table with the addition of iron pipe legs and nylon casters. Following the standard size of a usual basketball board, the Boardroom Table is the perfect size for a multi-functional table in its current studio/office residence. When paired with the perfect bar stools, users can use this as a spacious desk for computer work and other simple tasks, to an intimate meeting space. The addition of casters makes moving the Boardroom Table easy, allowing greater flexibility, whether used as a surface for product photography against a backdrop, a reading table by the bookshelf or simply moved out of the way for more space. From conceptualization to finishing, the Boardroom Table was a fun and challenging project that made good use of old items into a vibrant piece of furniture.
