You don’t need a map to tell you that these makeovers took a direct route from BoringMcBrokenburg to Snazzy City. But you DO need a map or two to create these looks yourself.
Better After reader Teresa created this nightstand from a curbside dresser and a spare map of Northern Africa that she happened to have on hand. I mean, who doesn’t have a few of those on hand? I’ve actually been meaning to organize my spare maps of Northern Africa drawer, now that you mention it.
And Better After reader Sarah spent many hours slaving away over this $3 yard-sale desk, only to finish and spend many more hours slaving away at it; as she’s in her fifth and final year of graduate school.
The world map on top must serve as great inspiration to get that PhD! The only thing it was inspiring anyone to get before was a lighter. Great job Sarah!
