I am going beyond my bike themed guest bath and also having a bike themed guest room.
This mirror is such a great way to use all the spare tubes DH *claims* he will patch one day. I know he won't, so I am going to recycle them another way.

I will start on this after the new year and post plenty of pictures!

What a great idea! Not that I want to flat any time soon....but I need to collect a few more tubes before I have enough to weave into a frame! My kitchen/family room have a general bike theme, but mostly vintage posters and such.
Now if someone could come up with a way to make a wine rack out of....oh....bottle cages?"When I'm on my bike I forget about things like age. I just have fun." Kathy Sessler

Maybe he's just aging his tubulars like Lance. (I saw a documentary on Lance and Team Postal, and the guy stored all the tires in a wine cellar to age them.)

I think your ideas are wonderful!! You are lucky to have a partner who also loves cycling. If I tried to decorate ANYWHERE with a cycling theme, nope, wouldn't go over well at all.

Thanks everyone! It is such a shame DH got motivated to throw out some junk when we moved. He had some old semi-damaged Mountain Bike Rims I had been bugging him to throw away, he finally did and now I see the magazine rack!! Those rims would have been salvagable for this purpose. I am considering perusing goodwill to make that for the bath room or guest room.
I really want to start this project NOW, but my checkbook laughed at me.

I love the ideas, Amanda! I bookmarked that page with all the great ideas. Maybe one day I'll steal some of those ideas....
As for your checkbook laughing- that made me smile. Now that you're in your new house- it'll probably laugh at you for a while!
