Ordinary to Extraordinary


I have been thinking a lot about changes I want to make in my little house.  I do this every six months or so... It's like an itch.  Once I've changed things up, the itch has been scratched.

So, I've been on the hunt for ideas.  I don't want your typical, cliche kind of ideas.  I want something transformational.  Like this coffee table.  How fabulous is this?!?!?  I'm completely in love.




And this table runner.  I'm pretty sure I can create this one with little difficulty.  All it would really take is plain fabric, a black Sharpie, and a ruler... easy squeezy.


But I really love this... Hammered-down spoons that are screwed onto a wooden board.  These ones are hammered with customized words, but the hanger has so many useful purposes.  Could hang hats, keys, bags, coats, aprons, pots, pans, etc... There is a multitude of uses. 

What about you? If you were going to tart up a room, what changes would you make?

  1. Two linen colored puong (sp?) chairs from ikea, a few chinese lanterns, gerbena daisies on the coffee table and a wall of photographs and books. Thats it. Can you tell I've been thinkin' about this for awhile?
