In the late 2000s I kept a personal mom blog called Nest Bliss. I reviewed books, wrote about the house and the girls, and was even in the Wall Street Journal. These posts are from then: light, young, a mom in her late twenties. I have edited them to stand on their own.
I of course have to find the doors... the hard part...
then a place to put it... but it is totally do-able, he is pretty handy.
Hutch posted here by CarpenterAnt. ---- I also need to re-purpose some Ikea furniture like this!
Again need to find somewhere to put it...but I could do this one by myself! Plus my headboard is not from PB but looks just exactly like this one.
Great project from here originally even though I found it via the link above and couldn't find as many project details on Aubry and Lindsay's site since it moved but I might not have looked hard enough.
---- Do a fabric wall collage - totally cheaper than vinyl - and way more reliable that me trying to free paint something or stencil (do people still stencil?). Plus I see fabric I totally adore all the time!
Who doesn't love to collage? This one is from IkeaHacker
---- Bring some bright shutters into the house - to put inspiration and notes on - can't get an cheaper than shutters! Think of all the funky colors you can paint them...The one below is from Apartment Therapy but this blog post - Pearls, Handcuffs, and Happy Hour - is what made me think of them.
---- Finally, and this is something I need to explore more - I have been considering getting rid of my desktop computer and re-purposing the cabinet it is in. Then I would still need a place to put a printer right - and if I have it in my bedroom a place to 'hide' a printer.
I am a very surf the web on the couch person anyway, so I don't really need a desk - I have a great kitchen table for real work. So I am trying to think of something creative to put a printer inside.
That is fairly short. I have huge windows along my entire bedroom and it needs to go under them.
Maybe a sewing table , or a small cabinet of some kind... Any ideas?
