Bedroom Makeover

What a difference a little bit of paint and moulding can make. Bon’s bedroom went from Drab to Fab, which coincidentally is the name of her blog.

And it is surely fab. Look at all those great pillows! Don’t you just want to dive in headfirst? I also love the painted ceiling, a look I would love to replicate in my house if it didn’t involve so much EFFORT! My neck is cramping just thinking about it. Thanks Bon!

3 In decor

Molly’s Vase

Here’s a quick and easy little before and after that spruced up some blah decor. It was actually a bit of a process that involved painstakingly razor cutting the flower decal and several layers of paint. But the end result is great! Very striking. Thanks Molly! See more on her blog A Bit O’ Shine.

Crystal’s Cottage

Crystal had a cute little cottage in Provo, UT, minus the cute. However, she upped its cuteness factor way up with just a few cosmetic changes.

New paint, trimmed bushes and freshly planted flowers and her 1946 home looks delightful, and her neighbors most certainly appreciate the new look too. Love the red door. Who doesn’t? Thanks Crystal!

11 In tables/dressers

Little Silver Dresser

This one comes from Jenny over at everyone’s favorite blog Little Green Notebook, so chances are you’ve seen it. But I’m sticking it up here again, because I just LOVE it!

And maybe it will serve as inspiration for me to finally do something about my tragic nightstand situation that has been going on for almost 9 years now. I don’t want to embarass myself too much, but I’ll just say that hot glue and particle-board play starring roles in my bedside decor. Yikes.

Snowy Table

Sarah took advantage of a snowy weekend and gave this hardworking table a blanket of white of its own. She had grown tired of the orangey finish and decided the time had come to undo some of the damage that naturally comes along with family and furniture.

Looks simply lovely, and there are more pics to see on her blog, It’s Good to be Queen. Thanks Sarah!

A Songbird Chair

I am currently sitting in a chair very similar to this before. I would wager that about 95% of us are, except for maybe my Aunt Shauna, who has a really stylish white leather computer chair that I secretly covet every time I see it.

Well, here’s one idea if you don’t like your boring black chair: paint the darn thing! That’s what super creative Marianne of Songbird did, and it looks like a whole new chair. Thanks Marianne! More to see HERE.
