Meg from Meg Made Designs wanted a vintage printer’s cabinet. What she had was a not-so-vintage Ikea bookcase. Hmmm, same diff, right? Wrong! Just kidding, right! She simply flipped it sideways, added a frame around the front, built a set of doors from scratch, screwed in new feet, and ta-to-the-da: a vintage printer’s cabinet.
I don’t have a printer’s cabinet, but I DO have a bunch of printer’s blocks and can’t for the life of me figure out a cool way to display them. They are currently in a bowl. Please advise.
PS: Hey! I’m really excited to share this great deal from one of my very favorite clothing sites, eShakti. $25 off a purchase using the code LINDSEY.

September 25, 2012 at 11:15 PMI think you should spell out some fallish word like thanks or thanksgiving or give thanks and set them on a mantle. That reminds me, I really need to do my fall mantle…

September 26, 2012 at 2:25 AMHow is that even possibly the same piece of furniture. I’m guffawed! Is that a word? I’m in complete awe of this makeover/redo. Speechless frankly.
Holy crap.
