I love to tackle interior DIY projects, but I don’t usually have the time that they require so I look to a few of my favorite blogs to read about inventive re-do’s. One of my regular reads is Little Green Notebook. Jenny provides great descriptions and how-to’s for all of her DIY projects – and I can say that they all turn out beautifully. A favorite is this super easy Ikea Lack table update.

Eddie Ross is a master at DIY projects and crafts.
I love how he reinvented this metal bench he found at an antique shop for a piece he did for Ralph Lauren & Bloomingdales.
Lindsay & Aubrey updated a simple piece of Ikea furniture into this fabulous bedside table/dresser.
Another fun dresser update by Kate at Centsational Girl – what a great color!
Adding a mirror to the top of a side table is an easy update that Abbe did and it gave her bedside table a whole new look.
Sanity Fair updated an inexpensive lucite tray by adding animal print underneath it, what a fun and easy update.
And stenciling a plain rug like Nate Berkus gives it that extra stylish touch.
A great update of bedroom furniture By Glamouri here.
Back in Spring 2009, I transformed some bamboo chairs and a bookshelf into a table for a client.
Another easy and smart project by Jenny at Little Green Notebook is creating your own lacquer look boxes.
There are lots of great projects to be inspired by!

Love Laura Casey as a friend and as our Designer! She oozes creativity and class!
Spray paint is a DIYer’s best friend! Ever notice how your doorbell chime cover inside the house turns yellow? There’s spray paint now that adheres to plastic – a few light coats and it’s as good as new! Used it to make some brown shelves in my daughter’s room white, too, when we moved. I’m not artistically inclined at all, but a little imagination and practice, and a can (or 5) of spray paint and the old is new again!
