Before & Afters...part 2

I forgot about this cabinet in my last post...this is tied with the dresser/vanity for my favorite before and after.  If only I could fit something like this into my apartment!

Here is the cabinet before:

And to make it easy, instead of painting the flower onto the cabinet, they just stuck on a decal from fawn&forest!

Before & Afters

One of my favorite things are before and after pictures that people post of rooms or furniture that they have redone.  Here are a few of the good ones.

My all time favorite (so far) is this redone dresser on DesignSponge...AWESOME!

Design Sponge

I heart DesignSponge.  They always have such great ideas and I find something I want to do in my home almost every week.

Below is a door that was turned into a dining table, which I love.  I have also seen a very decorative Moroccan door turned into a coffee table, which was amazing!  And doors used as the headboard for people's beds.  I just love old doors and windows!

This is a great idea for a dog feeder--it turns the dog bowls from functional to beautiful (I mean if you have to have them out wouldn't you want them to be as stylish as possible?).  Bigger dogs should actually eat from a raised dish, I guess it helps with their digestion since they don't have to stoop down as much as if the dish were just on the floor.

And the Mason jar lantern.  I told my mom and fiancĂ© about this and they didn't believe me that it would be awesome as a light fixture above a dining room table.  Then I showed them the picture.
