Turn One Desk into Two Nightstands Sugar Bee Crafts | Apartment Therapy San Francisco
When the time comes for new nightstands, it seems almost impossible to find attractive ones in pairs, especially while thrifting. This inexpensive solution takes care of things by using a desk instead, with a few modifications of course. Want to see what this desk looks like today? There are some projects you just have to have a vision for and this one from Sugar Bee Crafts is one of them.Secret playroom behind wardrobe
This wardrobe is actually a secret entrance to a playroom. The owner of the house had the wardrobe and figured he might as well add a touch of magic to the house for a pretty amazing result. This reminds me of an apartment I once visited in San Franciso.
What can you do with an old pallet?
So many things! If you ever come across the opportunity to pick up a few pallets take a look at some of the ideas I have come across for recycling old pallets into furniture and other practical and decorative pieces. I would like to mention that the designs below were found at various sources on the Internet. Where possible I have mentioned the original source, but unfortunately too many do not. If you are the original designer for any of the furniture below, please let me know so that I can add your details. Make furniture for your home
Amy Hughes is an editor at This Old House, so it's a given that she knows her stuff. She's also the author of Salvage-Style Projects and, as an old friend of Apartment Therapy (we did a House Tour of her apartment), she's kindly sharing a full project from the book. It's a sneak peek at Amy's brand of salvage-style and everything you need to know to create your own version of her faucet handle towel rack… Use Faucet Handles to Make a Towel Rack from Salvage-Style Projects Creamy white faucet handles can double as stylish towel or robe hooks.

The table clock
Materials: Ikea Bravur wall clock, small old round table, black lacquer, adhesive, saw, brush Description: I became fascinated with the "DIY" madness. For a long time I wasn't interested in the Do It Yourself attitude, I never thought something could be done using old furniture or knick-knacks. I was only interested in the things of design.

So it is no surprise to me that I have had my eye on this vintage typographer gift-wrap ever since Emily over at Jones Design Company posted about it as well as many other pretty papers she uses. I wanted to find a way I could use this gift-wrap where I could enjoy the pattern in my daily life instead of only wrapping gifts with it and giving it away. When I started to update my guest room I got an idea on how I could incorporate it into the room.
