DIY Project: Bookcase Makeover

Got an old bookcase in need of a facelift? Don't have a bookcase but could find one at a yard sale, on Craigslist or in the Ikea clearance room for 50% off?  Loving this idea for yet another project?  Yeah, me, too!

Flickr Buddy Photo: The Imperial Honey Bucket

The Imperial Honey Bucket, originally uploaded by Ar'alani.

From the very talented eye of Ar'alani--how funny is this?!  Pay her a visit and check out the entire Star Wars set on her stream, I promise, you'll be laughing in no time.  The captions and comments are almost funnier than the images!  Her nature photography is equally as wonderful...click, visit, view and enjoy!

Image by and copyright of Ar'alani - contact her via Flickr for more info or to purchase prints of her work.

Design Inspiration: Espresso and White Kitchen

Oh, to have a kitchen with flow. Modern, clean, open, bright, organized, with flow. Makes me want to cook, to bake, to just hang out in it. Fave elements: pendant lights, bar stools, stainless steel, glass, dark wood floor, double ovens.

FOUND HERE.

My 11' x 9' pre-war era apartment kitchen will never rival this wonder space (designed by Candice Olson of HGTV fame) but I've started the process. See that cheap wallpaper border around the ceiling? It's going bye-bye. Those white metal cabinets that don't allow for painting to infuse color? Seeking out vinyl wall decals to perk them up. All those plain white walls? The longest, behind the stove, soon to be tomato red. Before photos shown below, after photos will come when I'm finished!

Design Inspiration: Pink Sitting Room

I'm not normally a pink gal but recently I've been thinking that bold, hot pink is almost as edgy as my beloved red. I believe I could live in this room. The size and shape of that ottoman, the fresh lime wallpaper, fresh flowers and all that warm sunshine streaming through the windows seduces me for sure.
