Wow, this little vanity seat is ugly! (The irony! An ugly vanity seat!) Can it possibly be saved? (Like we don’t know better by now.) Thanks to Denise at Thrifty by Design. Check out her blog, she is a master of recycling and repurposing.
When this nightstand landed in my inbox, I was expecting it to be revived with either black or white paint. Not that there’s anything wrong with that! But Jessica at Mad in Crafts had other plans …
better plans …
plans that included the words ‘diaper’ and ‘robot’ …
Yeah, it’s a diaper holding robot! I KNOW! I love it too!
This little lovely has made the rounds in blogland, but she is too pretty not to share again! Deb from The Bunny’s Bungalow almost lost this piece entirely after it was exposed to some rain. But she managed to save it and I heart it! I really love that unexpected zebra print on the dishes in that last picture. Thanks Deb!
I love that Better After reader Carol went bold when she recovered these $4 Craigslist chairs. They are so bright and fun! Way better than before. What is fun about stained beige? Pretty much nothing, although I might have just invented a paint color name …
There was a time when I would have taken this battered toy box straight to the curb if it was mine. Oh, who am I kidding. I’m so cheap, er, frugal, I’m sure I could have found SOME sort of use for it. Like storing firewood. Or becoming firewood.
But Shannon from Posh Pieces revamped it into something absolutely lovely! I think the padded seat is an extra nice touch, don’t you?
I was recently alerted to a super cool blog by the name of Design Girl and Her Handyman.
Here are a few of her projects that were my faces:
First, this giftwrap holder repurposed from dowels and an old magnet board that was no longer serving a useful purpose. Great idea! My giftwrap is not nearly as cute, therefore, it resides on a dusty shelf in my laundry room.
This spunky ottoman used to be an ottoman base? Or small table? That’s up for debate, I guess, but now it is a fabulous footstool!
Isn’t this cane chair the cutest thing you’ve ever seen?
No, not this one:
THIS one!
And, the man cave. It truly was living up to its name. Now it is so bright and organized! I love the desk made from an old door and two filing cabinets. What more do you need?
Well, a chair. You might need one more chair. Here you go:
Thanks for sharing your fabulous talent with us Shannon!
