Hangin’ with Mr. Cooper.

How many fruitless hours have you spent clicking through design blog after design blog, day after day, finally screaming in frustration, “Where can I find a decent chicken coop makeover?!”  Well, problem solved.  Because here is one now.
This comes from Better After reader Laura who wanted chickens but didn’t want to buy a crazy expensive pre-made coop, or wait around for her husband to build one.  One day she discovered this giant doghouse at HomeGoods, and decided it was an answer to her prayers!  Especially since the manager gave her an additional $50 off just to get it out of his store.  
Oooh, this kind of makes me want to get some chickens too.

6 In kiddie/ other rooms

Play on, playa.

This room looked less like a playroom and more like a place where sad toys went to die.  That mopey wall color, the big bare window, it all painted a rather depressing picture.  The soccer ball light fixture was doing it’s best to add a little kick into the room, (pun!) but it only managed to look like a bug of nightmarish proportions.
Luckily inspiration hit Cait hard, and she went to town transforming it into a super happy space of fun-ness!  I would play in here all day.

15 In desks/hutches/buffets

Save the (drama) Queen!

I’m hearing reports that ever since I switched over to betterafter.net some people can’t see any pictures. Yipes!  Is this true for you?  Also, do you know how to fix it?  Not the most computer-savvy person over here. *pointing at self* 
But anyway, if you CAN see my pictures, then you are sure to enjoy this desk from Meg at 
Meg and Mum’s. It’s pretty wild – she doesn’t call it the ‘drama queen’ for nothing. But listen to this, you HAVE to click over and read about the origins of this desk. Have to. It will freak you out.  Seriously.  It’s cray-cray.  (That’s how all the hip kids say crazy nowadays.)  (I’m not hip).

3 In tables/dressers

Owl See You Later Alligator

If you are feeling the need to feed your wild side, look no further! Today’s dresser makeovers were inspired by the predators of the animal kingdom.  Like this ferocious owl dresser from Jennie at The Rosier Rundown.  Isn’t he terrifying?  He could kill you … with cuteness!

And I wouldn’t want to run into Marian’s new dresser in a murky swamp, I’ll tell you that much. This might be the first time I’ve seen an alligator-themed makeover, but I sure hope it’s not the last.  I’m a fan.  From a safe distance.  Check it out on her blog Savvy Salvage.

7 In bathroom

Because she’s good, she’s good, ch’mon, heee!

A wise sage once said, “Heal the world.  Make it a better place.”  Actually, that was Michael Jackson.  But who can argue with that advice, really?  Laurie at Little Blue Chairs did both by using reclaimed wood from her grandfather’s barn (healing the world) as an accent wall behind the mirror in her half-bath (making it a better place). She also updated the paint color and made over her vanity as well. Tell me once again, who’s bad?
(Sorry, once I start with MJ, it’s hard to stop.)

Deep Sea Divine

I don’t know who first defined the color ‘coral’ as this peachy-pinkish hue, because as far as I know, coral comes in about a billion different colors.  I once bought some coral from a lady in the Bahamas and it just looks like a bundle of black sticks.  That lady might have ripped me off.  But coral was the color of choice that Mallory chose to paint this worn-out console, and it looks great!  So fresh and fun and perfect against those stripes.
