Bathoom Chandelier

I think the bathroom is a terrific place to hang a chandelier. Why the heck not? This is another great redo from Tiffany at Mine Are Spectacular! She dolled up this old chandelier and gave it a new home in her powder room, which she also jazzed up with a fleur–de–lis design on the walls! Very eye-catching indeed. Thanks Tiff!

Cindy’s Dining Room

Talk about going from zero to amazing! This is like all those teen makeover movies, where the nerdy girl ditches her glasses and ponytail and is revealed to be a mega-babe. Thanks to Cindy at Cottage Instincts for sharing her amazing dining room redo with us!

The King’s Hutch

Don’t Be Cruel, but tell me, is there something tacky about this hutch? I can’t quite put my finger on it, but it’s Always on My Mind. Anyway, I just can’t take it No More. I’m going to try A Little Less Conversation and Get My Mojo Workin and paint this thing my favorite color. You know. Blue. Like my shoes…

Thanks to Suesan at Gracefully Chic!

Cassity’s Kitchen

Picking up where we left off with Cassity from Remodelaholic, check out her drool-icious kitchen! Way more pictures over on her blog, check it out!

And just for fun, look what she made with this old jacket she no longer wore! Sewing skills AND a fabulous kitchen? NO FAIR!

Thanks Cassity!

Red Door

Even thought I have a “thing” with red walls, I love, LOVE me some red doors. I’ve always wanted one myself. I WILL have one myself, mark my words! Ahem.

Anyway, this red door redo comes from Cassity at Remodelaholic. Much better redder!

So now I come to you … with open armoires

Here’s another lovely from Traci at Beneath My Heart.

This big armoire was nice, but had one little problem. Actually, two moderately sized problems. Those doors. Sure, they look good closed, but try to open them up to view the TV and BAM! Banging right into the walls, if there was even enough room to fully open them in the first place!

“Enough!” Traci said as she took those doors right off and refinished it instead with beadboard and white paint. Looks great!
