Misti over at Studio M Designs gave this footboard a sleek makeover with black paint and some freehand design, but that’s not all! Check out her blog to see where this footboard ended up. (hint: not near a bed!)
Here’s another great idea to totally repurpose an item of furniture. Beckie, the creative genius over at Infarrantly Creative (seriously, she can do it all) turned this hulking hutch thing into a puppet theater! Tell me, what little kid would not play with this all day? Check out her blog for a full tutorial. Thanks Beckie!
I just can’t resist a good lamp redo and this one is so fantastic, I see it in my dreams. Jaclyn of Soma Design found this lamp at a thrift store, gave it a simple coat of matte white and then covered the existing shade with $5 chromolux posterboard! It looks so great with the chrome accessories.
Love love it!
Love love it!
This before dresser was sporting a thick layer of bright blue paint that took all of the attention away from its shape and character. “Excuse me!” I bet it would say, “Don’t you know I’m a regal chest of drawers? Put me on display, where I belong, not stuffed away in a little boy’s closet!”
Well, Lisa from Recaptured Charm rescued it from the flea market and enhanced it’s antique appeal with a crackle paint treatment. The old blue shows through the cracks slightly, giving it an aged and layered appearance, which I think is lovely!
This bedroom used to be just a little bit boring. See, even the sweet baby is bored to sleep. But Anna Rose, aka The How-To Gal, fixed that after finding a great set of copper lamps at a yard sale and making a headboard to match. See how she created this out of PAPER (!) right here.
I bet you have one of these old stools lying around. Why not paint it red with white polka dots? It will be about a hundred times cuter when you do. See more of this craft room redo from Chrissie at Chrissie Grace.
