My friend Quintin, who is a graphic designer sent me a link to this website called design sponge. I checked it out and am addicted. They have a whole section dedicated to d.i.y. (do it yourself) and before & after projects and I am smitten! I want to transform every boring piece of furniture in my house!

How many times have I been to the D.I. and seen a butt ugly piece of furniture such as this? I love creative people and copying their ideas...but I will always give props to those whose ideas I use. :)

So thank you gabrielle from mintage home and michelle goeke for being inspired and inspiring.
