Do you have any concrete blocks lying around? Concrete blocks can look great outdoors around your home and they can be very versatile as well. You can use them to create DIY projects for items around the inside and outside of your home.

Here are some great suggestions of cool things you can do with concrete blocks.

1. Make your own TV stand

Do you need a new TV stand or media center? You can create one using concrete blocks and design it however you want. You could make a small one or a very large one that will hold all of your electronic accessories and DVDs. Not only is it very functional, but it also looks pretty nice if you have a modern industrial theme in your home already.

2. Nightstand

If you love the look of the media center and need a new nightstand, just use three concrete blocks to make one. Now you can keep items on top and items inside, just like an open-faced dresser or nightstand. Much cheaper too!

3. Fire pit

If you love wine and need a spot to store it, try making your own wine cellar with concrete blocks. A wine bottle fits in the hole pretty easily and you can stack as many as you need and increase the amount as you collect more wine.

7. Indoor lighted table
