corner view ≈ experiment{s}

i've experimented some since we moved in in our place three years ago. as a means of getting back in the swing of {all~things~renovation☻}, i'd like to somersault for you and see if my fancy can be tickled back into experimental action.

i have been thinking myself silly over how to store a bicycle when having a small entrance hall way. any ideas yourself?  
(bicycle storage images : jaybean.com).

3 experiments to be executed this weekend : 
1. upcycle an old bulky foot stool that i dismantled with great difficulty last spring

2. paint and fabric-refurbish this dusty floor lamp with a new coif

3. scrub, paint and hang up these mix'n'match thrift shop coat hangers in a make do shaker style in the above mentioned small entrance hall way. i might even add a spray painted deer's head, to go truly quirky on this one. i'll fit my intentions in a few before-after posts.
 

curious? as-am-i! i'd almost like to say: stay tuned over the weekend {mine begins tomorrow}, to witness these things happening.
happy experimenting, all!

  3. sounds like you'll have a very busy weekend! (and lots of good material for next weeks theme)
    we too have a very small entry way, and store our bikes in the barn :) no barn? well, if you have a staircase, i love the upside down idea.

  7. I think the 2nd option would be the easiest for you as it would require a simple upright lift of the bicycle. The other ways require you to tilt the bike with the 3rd one requiring an upside down bike. On some days that would discourage me from biking because I would not want to deal with the 'mechanics' of taking it down and putting it up. I think the 2nd one would entail less stress on your back. But then I have to consider the aches and pains and flare-ups of osteo-arthritis and fibromayalgia. I look forward to seeing your solutions for all the projects.:>)

  10. I love these sorts of experiments and am always finding new things to re-do.
    Hanging the bicycle on the wall usually works really well (as long as you won't bang you head on it!)

    I have no ideas about bike storage as we have a basement but I'm sure you'll come up with something perfect for your place. Can't wait to see how things turn out. xoxo Carole
