For anyone looking to give their living room an upgrade, a unique do-it-yourself project may be just the ticket.
I've seen all kinds of surprising furniture pieces before, from a coffee table made from pallets to a lamp constructed entirely out of wine bottles. But this project may just be my favorite of them all.
This Instructables user took an old, broken-down 1957 Chevy, cut off the back end, and restored it to its glory — with one tiny twist. He turned the back end of this classic car into a stunning living room couch.
And you don't have to be a car fanatic to appreciate this one-of-a-kind home addition. It's not only beautiful, but it is certain to be a conversation starter for years to come.

When this DIY-er started out, he was simply looking at a shell of the back end of a 1957 Chevy.
But he had big plans in mind to create the couch of his dreams.
He created a metal support frame to go inside the car shell to act as the base of his soon-to-be couch.
With some simple and inexpensive wood, the couch was already beginning to take shape.
But to make things much more comfortable, he utilized the backseat of a 1994 Thunderbird.
He writes, "I flipped it around using the backrest as the bottom and the bottom for the backrest."
And just like that, he had a "wow" piece that is sure to impress any visitor, whether a car lover or not.
He even installed double wheel casters on the bottom to make his unique furniture piece easy to move around the living room.
This brilliant DIY idea not only brought a little bit of beauty to his ordinary living room, but it will undoubtedly be a conversation piece for years to come!
