On a visit to the Ace Hotel in Palm Springs a while back, I admired the shelving made from plumbing pipes spray painted glossy black designed by LA's Commune collective. So I took note when Morgan of The Brick House copied the look in her own house (and helpfully provided detailed instructions here). Perhaps someday I'll get around to undertaking my own project.
