This summer, we’ve got the upcycling bug, and just in case it might be contagious, we’ve rounded up five upcycled projects to lend a little staying power to your outdoor space. (And by ‘staying power’ we mean that these chairs are so cool, your family and friends will never want to vacate!)
Rocking Chair Made From Repurposed Barrels
Turns out, the function of wine barrels transcend the enclosure of mere wine and compost. Chanel the Italian design company, Sestini & Corti, with this rustically-inspired, potentially DIY-able idea.

Small Tree Tables
And while we’re on the topic of tree stumps, we love the minimalistic design of these small, Scandinavian-inspired side tables. These could double as chairs for children, or simply serve as compliments to your existing outdoor seating scheme.
