Decoupage

Decoupage is great because you don't need to have the ability to paint flowers etc., just the ability to visualize the end product. Now days there is tons of pretty scrapbooking paper around and it's great for decoupage projects. Check these out!

I love this idea. This would be great to house my hair thinky's and larger jewelry.

Lushious Greens

I sometimes forget that it's ok to mix wood with colour. I like that there is both wood, white and colour in this room.

I love this colour of green with the black handles. It contrasts so nicely.

Stuff I love

This reminds me that you can use anything you want as hardware on your furniture. Who says we need to follow the rules?

Dashing Dressers

So rustic.

How about replacing handles with knobs? I love knobs so much better than handles sometimes, and it looks amazing on both night tables and dressers.

I like this combination of both. Very attractive.

Mix and Match hardware dresser:
Who says all the hardware need to match? I love the style of the two completely different hardwares.

Wallpaper dresser:
I love antiques. This dresser was covered with wallpaper ages ago and it looks so pretty. I imagine you could do something similar and make it look old with some dark varnish applied lightly to the wallpaper after applying.

Painted dresser:
I love this style. It's seems easy enought to do with a stencil.

Here's another one. It's a little more complicated so would take some artistic skill, but I just love it.

Hand painted dresser:
This one took some artistic talent. Check out the website, the paiting on it is soo beautiful.

Lace Dresser:
I love this dresser, it seems quite easy to do and looks so elegant.

Metalic lace?:
I'm not sure how they came out with this effect, but it crosses my mind that if you took the same idea as above and used metallic paint, it would come out looking alot like this. I just love the handles on all these dressers.

Or replace windows with a blackboard, so cute.
Chalkboard ideas:

Buffet with curtains:
Why not put some curtains inside? So beautiful.

This would look good with sheer curtains as well so you can still see inside.

I loved loved loved this desk idea. It looks so modern.
