4 the Love!

 Mar 3, 2011

Hmmmm. I'm all for encouraging creativity in your children, but ... this is the point where you gently take the Sharpie away and "accidentally" haul the dresser downstairs, load it in the trunk and drop it off at Goodwill. And sign that kid up for an art class, cuz damn.

You are probably thinking that I'm confused and used the wrong after picture. Nope! Kristy from 4 the Love of Wood used the fuggo dresser as bones for this lovely ... what would you call it? It's much fancier than a shelf ... étagère? Fantastic all the same. Thanks Kristy!

Nuh uh! I don't even believe that that's the same piece of furniture! WOW. That's some serious vision and skill.

Man I love clever people who can see whole DIFFERENT pieces of furniture out of things.

That is beautiful.

Not gonna lie, I'm sorta obsessed with the giant oval clock on her shelf even more than the shelf itself.

Sweet baby Jesus, Kristy is more than just creative -- she is a bloody genius. Talk about seeing something from nothing... V V Impressed.

Now that takes vision! The "before" reminded me of when my 14yo was a toddler. He was just so fast and mischievous. He's even faster and still mischievous, but 14yo mischief isn't the same as 3yo mischief. Thanks for sharing this terrific makeover, and for the trip down memory lane.

O.K. I generally don't leave comments, though I love the blog, but this one...I mean I had a hard time believing it was the same piece of furniture! Love it.

Lisa March 3, 2011 at 9:09 PM  

That kid seriously gets his creativity from his mama!!!!

**Mumzy March 3, 2011 at 10:38 PM  

WOW!!! That "piece" would have been gone to the dump! I wouldn't have even taken it to the curb!!! LOVE the big clock!!! Where did you find it?????

Sacha March 4, 2011 at 1:48 AM  

WOW - That's impressive!

Karen@StrictlySimpleStyle March 5, 2011 at 2:38 PM  

Good heavens, somebody needs to buy some art paper for those kiddies! The finished project is amazing-especially considering what they had to work with.
