You know how after a few years your decorating seams a little stale? We have a few rooms like that. I am hoping by the end of the summer to have perked then up a little. They just need a little something, not a complete "make-over", just a little "make-up". Maybe a few new highlighting colors, a little sparkle and polish. So that being said, I have been on the look out for ideas. Recently I came across this book, 501 Decorating Ideas Under $100. It is so Inspiring!! Fabulous ideas that you actually could see working in your home. And the best thing? It is a Do-It-Your-Self book! Our favorite kind!
"Classic bird prints can be pricey once they're professionally matted and framed. We used pages from a book and mounted them in inexpensive clip-edge frames (backed with scrapbook paper when needed to get the right size.)"
The first idea that caught my eye. I love the clean look of framing this way.
Vintage pillowcases turned into cafe curtains, handmade yo-yos on a foot stool.
Our favorite kitchen look! So bright and cheerful.
A vintage tablecloth made into a curtain, tin ceiling tiles to disguise the refrigerator, drawer pulls on backs of chairs for added interest, an old chair taken apart and used for a towel rack.

A few more of our favorite ideas. I love how they have taken objects out of their usual environment and re-purposed them.
Now that I have all these ideas rolling around in my head, time to get decorating!!
I love the fun flower baskets used to store stuff! I keep looking for ideas as I get closer to getting the craftroom done :)
ReplyDeleteYey! I think they would look really cute in a craft room. You could keep your latest projects in them for a quick pick up or to keep books and magazines.
