ADDING VINTAGE FLAVOR

SALVAGE THE FRAME OF AN OLD MIRROR OR PICTURE FRAME & TURN IT INTO A BLACKBOARD OR A CUPBOARD FRONT. ALSO YOU CAN COVER IT WITH LINEN FOR AN INSTANT MESSAGE BOARD




FIT A DAYBED WITH A CUSHY MATTRESS & KEEP BASKETS UNDERNEATH IT FOR A QUICK SLEEPOVER/GUEST STATION







GUT OUT AN ELECTRIC CHANDELIER “CHANDY” & GLUE ON OLD TART TINS & USE VOTIVES OR CANDLE FLICKER LIGHTS. SPRAY PAINT IT WHITE & ADD CRYSTALS



PAINT YOUR FLOORS,FURNITURE OR TRIM FOR AN INSTANT OOMPH WITH LITTLE MONEY SPENT OUT, IT GIVES THE HIGHEST IMPACT IN LITTLE TIME.




ADD ARCHITECTURE TO A ROOM BY PROPPING OLD SHUTTERS OR ARCHI PIECES, MIRRORS OR EMPTY FRAMES.





ADD QUICK CHARM TO ANY ROOM WITH WAINSCOTING OR TIN CEILING AS WAINSCOTING




IN THE WINTER, IF YOU HAVE A NON DIMENSIONAL MANTEL & WANT TO ADD SOME OOMPH TO IT, ADD AN ELECTRIC FIREPLACE FROM YOUR FAVE HOME STORE. THE STYLES ARE GREAT & THERE'S SO MANY VARIETIES TO CHOOSE FROM, YOU CAN’T GO WRONG. I HAVE 6 & PAINTED A FEW WHITE, YES…..WHITE! THEY REALLY DO KEEP YOU WARM.
