September 27th, 2011Washing Machine Drum Furniture

Trash Design Manufaktur turns washing machine drums into furniture. Sounds like the perfect opportunity to create some tacky, doesn’t it? The outcome, however, is nothing less than spectacular. Take the bistro table picture above for example. It makes washing machine drums LOOK like they were meant to be a bistro table. Or how about this foot stool?

The user can use folding bath furniture like stools and other parts in the bathroom also when desired to ensure that they can be removed whenever desired. With any bathroom linen cabinet its important to consider the doors on the cabinet. Some totally free standing bathroom linen cabinets have glass doors and other people have wooden doors. These are just a couple of ways to improve storage space and liven up your existing bathroom. Inside you will discover four shelves (3 adjustable) perfect for storing towels, bed linens, along with other bathroom accessories in 1 neatly organized hutch. If youre looking for methods to further increase storage space in a smaller bathroom, try bath furniture thats designed to be wall mounted. Vanities consist of single or double sink bowls and some space on the sides like a counter top for your personal effects.

These cabinets normally have an under counter storage space which makes them much more usable than the ordinary ones.

I posted this because, let’s face it, sometimes DIY projects look a little bit arts-and-craftsy. It’s not news that you can repurpose an old door as a headboard.  What makes this one special is that it looks like it is straight out of a high end decor catalogue. Thank you, Kristen W. of My Covered Bridge, for posting this beautiful example of DIY inspiration (and skill, really) on Hometalk.

Sitting at a second-story table overlooking Centennial Park and a gorgeous skyline through string-lit treetops, I found it pretty easy to make-believe I was in the heart of NYC peering over Central Park. Truth be known, my friend Madison and I were at Peasant Bistro in the heart of Atlanta, and I could not have been happier to have found this gem of a swanky, romantic restaurant right in my city!

The dining area, beautifully situated above a first-story bar and approached by a wide, wooden spiraling staircase, was soothing and intimate, while providing a spectacular view out of the several windows spanning the building front. I had to force myself to break away from taking in all the sights and remember I was there to eat!

Our first temptation: wine. To spark the taste buds, of course. And what an extensive list they had!

I hesitated before doing another post featuring interiors from house beautiful but just couldnt help myself! The September issue is filled with such charming lived-in spaces decorated by talented designers, including two of my favs barry dixon and martyn lawrence bullard, that it would be criminal not to. There are so many elements in each of these spaces that appeal to my design sensibilities.

This settee is oodles of sexy, love the fabric print, and works so well under the large oval mirror. the basket next to it is both stylish and practical for storage in a Capitol hill (DC) entryway.
