Painting Furniture

Would you ever consider painting furniture to achieve the look you want? I was skeptical, until I saw this post on design sponge. The contributer did this entire project for $80 (couch INcluded).

Comfy Kitchen

DIY Tufted Headboards

In college, I re-upholstered an old couch with bedsheets and a staple gun, and my roommates were SO impressed. Can you imagine what they would think if I could pull this one off? This site has very detailed step-by-step directions to refurbishing a vintage headboard.  I thought this was a great DIY to post about, especially for my sister, who cannot paint her apartment walls, has no headboard, and loves jewel tones. This would be perfect for her place!

Trailer Park.....Chic??

I am very curious about these little "proto houses" and had to post about it! Find more info here. They could make the most amazing little guest houses!

Party Pairings

They sell chalkboard contact paper, who knew? It's a fun way to identify wine/cheese/chocolate pairings at a party! My new years resolution for 2011 (yes, 2011) was to learn more about wine and cheese. Better use this idea and get to work!
