Great Lengths

Kimberly had a ridiculously lengthy living room to contend with here. She described it as having “the shape and charm of an empty shoe box.” If I was in charge of decorating this thing, I probably would have googled “Where to buy a really, really long sofa” and left it at that. Luckily, I wasn’t in charge. Kimberly, who knows what the heck she’s doing, gave it some much needed functionality and style by splitting it into two separate spaces and piling on the color and charm.  So great!

How Much Hutch

Have you had hutches on the brain lately?  If so, you’re in luck. And if not, you’re still in luck because you will after you see these! I do believe there is something for everyone here, from subtle and simple to … well, you’ll see.
 

Let’s start it off nice and easy with this great distressed hutch from Sarah at Funcycled.  I love the window panels at the top, aren’t they so much more noticeable now?  Such a classy looking piece.

But this next hutch knew nothing about class, at least, that’s what I would have thought.  So many drawers and knobs and doors and shelves, it’s got WAY too much going on, right? Wrong-o. Check out how flipping great it looks in gray and white.  This also comes from Sarah, and you can get a close-up look here

So don’t ever let anyone tell you gray = boring, because here comes another gray hutch, this time from Beth at Sawdust and Embryos, which is anything but. I love how she swapped out the original bottom half for a dresser that is much better-suited for the job.  Do you love the background?  Yeah, she hand-painted that, no big whoop.  (Kidding. It’s a really big whoop).

And here is another one from hutch-sensai Sarah, who was at it with her hutch-handiwork once again.  But this time she was seeing red, or trying to. She hunted high and low for the perfect shade of red that wasn’t too pink or too orange and landed on California Poppy by Behr.

See it right here on her blog Funcycled.

But if ‘too orange’ sounds ‘just right’ to you, then you will love this last hutch from Beth, who certainly isn’t shy about punching your eyeball in the eye with color.  It’s a citrus sensation!  It’s like a glass of orange juice and a bottle of Mountain Dew had a baby, and that baby happened to be furniture!  So fun.

Foyer Eyes Only

Two things to never underestimate: the power of plain white walls, or the necessity of accessories. Just look at the huge difference they both made in Linda’s foyer here. I know, I know, her walls aren’t exactly ‘plain’, what with all the new crown moulding and wainscoting, but man, do they ever brighten up the place.  And did you notice how much more shaPOW all the accessories and details add?  I mean, there’s a ceramic poodle in there.  That’s some serious shaPOW.

Droolish Games

Ain’t no secret I’m a big fan of gray, so of course I drooled over these makeovers from Suzan.  I didn’t literally drool, that’s gross. Although sometimes it involuntarily happens, you know what I mean?  Like you are just standing there in the checkout line at the grocery store, staring off into space, and next thing you know a little string of slobber has bungeed out your mouth and onto your shirt, and when you covertly try to wipe it away it somehow seems to multiply and get stringier and stringier no matter what you do, and you’re frantically rubbing your hands across your face and chin and hoping no one is watching your disgusting performance of the slobber wipe-down dance ha ha, you know!?! 

Right?! 

Right? 

Uh … hypothetically speaking?

Never mind.  Just pretend we never had this conversation and enjoy this lovely gray and white dresser makeover from Suzan at Simply Vintageous. She’s also got a stunning (spoiler alert!) headboard makeover below.  I hope these to pieces ended up in the same room, they couldn’t be more made for each other than if they had actually been made for each other.

More on the headboard makeover can be seen right here.

Turning Red

Looking to add some adventure and excitement to your life?  Then I suggest you buy yourself some red lipstick!  (I also suggest you ask someone else because I am obviously not that exciting.) But I just bought red lipstick for the very first time today, and I have to tell you, I feel like a whole new woman.  A woman named Clown Lips McCrazy Mouth, but it’s a new and exciting sensation all the same. 

Fine, so red is something I have to work up to. Not so with the following makeovers however, I could easily get used to all that red sharing my space, if not my face. Especially this dresser from Shanna at Restoration Redoux I think the gold handles are what do the trick, such a lovely complement to the color.

And how fun is this dresser turned TV stand from Barbara?  So fun that the wall even agrees! Fun!  See how it plays a part in her entire family room makeover over on her blog Hodge:Podge.

5 In bathroom

Two baths diverged …

I could be so lucky if my after bathroom looked anything like Pam’s before.  It was lovely!  No terrifying mold problems or fifty-year-old fixtures, no puke-colored wallpaper or mismatched tiles halfway up the wall.  No … (shudder) … carpet.

But Pam was ready for a change.  For such a small space she knew that it needed all the light it could get. So everything went lighter and brighter, from the window treatment to the vanity, right down to the art on the wall and the rug on the floor.  And the plant on the toilet.  Just answering the call of nature, you know.  Actually, that is there because she did about four different versions of this makeover, trying to make up her mind with accessories. See all the options and help her decide over on her blog Simple Details.
