Furniture Redos/ Curbly

Hard as it may be to believe, I did not invent the furniture redo.   People have been doing this for quite some time and doing a great job at it.  I just became obsessed recently.  Check out Shelly of FliptStudio's upholstered bench made from an old coffee table.

She documents this bench re-do and others on her blog Flipt.  She is also writing a column for Curbly called "Goodwill Hunting".  Pretty clever, eh?  She also did a nightstand re-do.  Somehow she copied my idea before I even had it!  She won runner-up in the Apartment Therapy January Jumpstart competition.

Thanks, Shelley, for sharing your cleverness and turning me on to Curbly.  It is DIY heaven.  The originator of the blog, Bruno Bornzstein,  says " I wanted to create a place online where people can celebrate all the hard work they put into their homes."  The great thing is they cover projects large and small.  I myself am oddly intrigued by the homemade Swiffer covers.  Perhaps I have some scrap fabric somewhere to make some...

Loved seeing this bench- just made some curtains in this same fabric that I found as a remnant! :)

Lovin the flower designs on these, especially the bench. It looks like it'd really brighten up a room. :)
