Home & Garden - The Best of Instructables Volume 1

Projects from the first chapter of The Best of Instructables Volume 1.

Home projects are some of the most accessible DIY projects. In this section, we're showcasing some of the Instructables that really make us wish the authors lived next door - and not just so we could borrow their tools! Cool lights, funky furniture, and energy-saving and waste-reducing ideas abound. After seeing these projects, you'll likely notice an empty wall and wonder just what sort of hidden LED-powered geometric doodad might fit. Be sure to take pictures!
