Trash-to-treasure expert Robb Whittlef shares three great ideas for transforming tossed-out items.

Cabinet

Attach an open shelving unit to the top of a cabinet. Add bun feet to add height. Paint and glaze for an aged look.

House Planter

The "roof" of a miniature house is removed to make room for a potted plant.

Laundry Table

An ordinary table is turned into a functional laundry room accessory. Lift off the top then reattach with a safety hinge. Create two fabric baskets with casing on two sides to hold dowel rods. Use a jigsaw to cut out space on four wood strips for the dowel rods. Attach the wood strips and place the baskets inside the table.
