Buckle up, here are some redos that might just knock you off your seat! Check them out courtesy of Barb from Knack. I don’t have much more to add other than I love the colors, flower knobs and also, wow.

Hey! Do you have an ugly trash can? Don’t throw it away, and don’t throw away money on a new one either. Just make it cute, like Kara from Creations by Kara. You don’t have to settle for an ugly trash can, who knew?!
I tried giving a lamp a makeover last night… it didn’t go well. The before was better than the after, and the before was pretty bad. Sigh.
Well, here’s a good lamp revamp. This one went from gold and grannie to black and chic thanks to Anna at All Things Creative. I love her blog, it’s full of some great before and afters, check it out!
These three projects are so darling. It’s like they got all dressed up to go have tea with the queen. Frills, florals, ruffles and lace galore!
So while they might not be your cup of tea, you have to agree, over-the-top is so much better than boring-and-beige-at-the-bottom. I think they’re divine!
Thanks to Glamma Fabulous for the lovely petticoat footstool and the bench, which she remade from a Las Vegas hotel room cast off!
And thanks to Rene at Paddywack Designs for her awe-inspiring chair redo. I love how the skirt is lifted, showing off a bit of leg. Cheeky!

Lindsay (aka “Living with Lindsay,” not to be confused with Lindsey aka “me”) got a hold of a nice big basket at a Goodwill for $3.99. But then sadly, her dog also got a hold of it too. With his teeth.
So she scrapped her original plan and ended up making it not only usable again, but really cute too! I love the braided jute trim. Nice work Lindsay!

I would have just gotten rid of the thing. And by thing, I mean dog.
Here are a few simple makeovers that show what a difference a coat of white and a little bit of detail can make.
The first is a milk jug makeover from Whitney at Shanty 2 Chic. She was inspired by her sister’s project, the rooster pitcher, as seen below. A lot of people are on the “rooster as decor” fan-wagon (if there is such thing as a fan-wagon), but I do think it must be done carefully. I have a certain in-law who is so into the rooster thing, I once counted over 100 rooster-themed items in her kitchen! That is not only extreme rooster overdose, but it is also terrifying, and should probably be illegal.
And finally, some freshened up canisters by Lisa at Recaptured Charm. So cute! I love the swirly little initials.
