I live near an airport and built a airplane tracker with a flightaware stick to capture and display the planes that are flying over my house at any given time. It looks for ADS-B signals and then matches the callsign against a database of airplane and my local airports schedule. Here is an image of it: https://imgur.com/UwF6tvb https://imgur.com/UwF6tvb I didn't document my project but there are similar ones out there that don't use the ADS-B signals and instead just use APIs to identify flights. https://blog.colinwaddell.com/flight-tracker/ https://blog.colinwaddell.com/flight-tracker/ Basically most maker type decor projects seem to fall into displaying some sort of information on a screen/led matrix/flip board etc. Raspberry Pi, "Magic Mirrors" were all the rage for awhile. https://www.raspberrypi.com/tutorials/how-to-build-a-super-slim-smart-mirror/ https://www.raspberrypi.com/tutorials/how-to-build-a-super-s... On the less tech side but still in the same realm, we also have a Klein Bottle from the infamous Cliff Stoll (https://www.kleinbottle.com/ https://www.kleinbottle.com/) and a Erlenmeyer flask as a flower vase.
