If you're renovating your kitchen, plumbing pipe is possibly a material you've come across. But it's not just for running water lines. Whether you need an island, shelving, or pot rack in your kitchen, plumbing pipe may just be the way to DIY it on a budget. Just take a look at these examples we've rounded up:
I, for one, am trying to figure out a base for a kitchen island. Plumbing pipe is at the top of my list for getting the job done, so I'm looking to these examples for inspiration, too:

I love all of those!
Kara Paslay made a pot rack for her kitchen from their reclaimed plumbing, and I've always loved the way it looks.
We used metal fence posts to design our open shelving in our kitchen, which was very cost efficient and gives the room a slightly contemporary vibe.

not a fan of these, I like Lucy's much better.
Piping looks great with bookshelves in the living room, in a kitchen or bath it's too much plumbing for me.
oh my gosh! I LOVE plumbing fixtures re-purposed. I am totally in love with that dining table, book shelf, and especially that wall pot holder! Amazing! Thanks to Hernando House for sharing!
In the right place these could look awesome.
Lucy - your shelving is amazing!! I do like that second image with the pipe island cart. Maybe minus the trash thing.
