"I love to refinish furniture and recently I redid a china Cabinet to store a little fabric in: The only problem was I had 2 doors that I no longer needed and didn't know what to do with them for sure, until I had the idea to turn them into a picture display.  So I went about painting them with my favorite paint sprayer.  I kept the original handles on the cupboards because I love the way they look, but I did spray pain them silver instead of the yucky old brass color"....

B.A.B.Y. Print Tutorial at Home Bird Economics Blog

"Andy and I first saw this idea back on a random day trip to Fowey, its such a quaint little Cornish village that its nice to take a drive and just end up somewhere different for lunch. The main change I have made to the ones we saw is added some colour. Andy has yet to see this so I might be redoing it in the black and white, however I think for the baby room the point of this artwork for me has been to make things interesting and stimulating to look at.  I couldn't decide on a colour to start with so I had to lay them out on the pallet of colours we have agreed for our baby"....

Button Frame Tutorial at Pixie Dust Originals Blog

"I continue to find ways to organize my “new” studio space.  So, I thought I’d share one of my newest projects.  This old 27.5″ X 40″ frame has been kicking around for a good many years now and has been a great bulletin board, a memo board, and  sandwich board (with it’s partner).  As my button collection seems to reproduce when I’m not looking, I thought I’d use up some of them and decorate my old, tired frame.  Step 1:  I sanded and primed the entire frame.  Measured a nice piece of peg board and primed that as well"....

Clothes Pin Frame Tutorial at Look Between the Lines Blog

I came up with this idea after seeing a similar project on Pinterest, and altered it to fit my taste and my love for sentimental decor! All you need for this project is an old frame, pictures, lace, ribbon, or string, a stapler or nails, and clothes pins. I have held onto this frame for years, unsure of what to do with it, and was excited when I finally came up with this project! Luckily the wood was soft enough (I picked it up from a trash pile outside of someones house on the brink of rotting) for me to attach the lace with staples, you may need to use short nails or thumbtacks"....
