I tried really hard to think of a clever name for this post. Clari-lamp? Lamp-inet? Eh. I give up. So here it is, a green clarinet lamp! From Kristi at Addicted 2 Decorating.
I just love a good chair makeover. Whenever I go to the thriftstore, I have to restrain myself not to buy every ugly chair in sight. Here’s a fun one from Amanda aka, the Vintage Dutch Girl. I love how she mixed the funky fabric with the chair’s more traditional look. It’s like a hip grandma.
And scroll-eroo right on down to see another one of her makeovers, repurposing an old headboard into a towel rack! Cute!
PK from Room Remix posted this redo by her sister. It was a yard sale purchase for $5! I’ve never found a yard sale bargain that good … No, wait, one time I found a brand new pair of baby shoes for 25 cents. But I would still rather have this buffet, especially now that it’s red hot red! Thanks PK (and sister!)
You know what I’ve noticed? There are a lot of creative people out there. And a lot of them are named Lindsey. See what I mean? If you want a creative kid, you should maybe name it Lindsey. Then again, my name is Lindsey, so yeah… don’t know if that theory is holding water…
Lindsey from My Creative Attempts recently redid her entry way, and I think it’s muy fabuloso! Here’s what I like about it, list-style:
1. Red done right. A lot of people do red, and frankly, it’s not my favorite. Usually, it just looks so random, like “Hey, you know what I’m going to do? Paint one wall in my house red, why the heck not?” But here it looks very classic with the black accents and the crown moulding. Lovely, darling.
2. I like that she took off that trim and camouflaged the heater rather than oddly enhancing it, like it was before.
3. I like the boat! *whispers* “Ah want that.” (quick, name that movie)
4. I also like that dark floor, a welcome change from that white tile.
Thanks Lindsey!
This is just a darn good idea.
1: Take one old un-loved drawer.
2: Stand it up on its bum.
3: Add little feet, an inner shelf, and paint.
4: Enjoy your sweet new shelf!

People are so creative! What a ridiculously cute idea! This was made from an old breadbox and discarded coffee table legs. I would have played with this all day long as a kid. Heck, I would still play with this all day long. From Dana at Dana Carerra Designs.
