Don't Stand By Me

Turning an old friend pretty.



I had this night stand since childhood and I thought it was time for an update. I added a fresh coat of paint and topped it off with fancy paper from a local store called Art Coop. To apply paper, just Modge Podge it to a clean, dry surface and smooth out the bubbles (which is the most difficult part). Also, removing the clutter was easy with storage baskets (found in most home furnishing stores).

used items, fresh ideas

like you ever needed inspiration to go garage sale hopping on those early weekend mornings... repop brings recycled items to a new level! they have nifty items to buy, but really their website is good inspiration to go out and find as much "junk" as possible. see more stuff at  www.repopny.com

cozy kitchen : olivia's table

this entry comes from olivia walder (artist, painter) in champaign, illinois.  I love this comfy, Japanese-inspired seating arrangement created with hand-sewn pillows.  they match the splatter-painted tablecloth that covers an old unused coffee table. paint covers a tablecloth material, then is sealed with a transparent material that keeps the paint safe. 

(and yes, there is a black kitten in the first image!)
