Pallets bridge over untroubled waters :)
Robby loves fixing up and doing maintenance around our cabin. I like DECORATING the cabin... so about a week ago i told robby i would forgo decorating so we could focus on doing somethings that needed to be done around here. I TOLD HIM I WOULD NOT SPEND ANY MONEY DECORATING THE HOUSE... for some of you that is like not buying clothes or not going out to eat or not eating chocolate....it's HARD... so i have had to get creative. There is an empty lot near our house where they dump trash, and old wood, etc. We made our recycling station out of this wood a few months ago. We decided to go see what they had cause we were going to frame the mirrors in our bathrooms. Well we ended up finding this old pallet that was a cool blue color. I saw it and HAD TO HAVE IT!! So robby pulled it out of the pile while i went to get his saw. He sawed it in half and i found these two planks to go on the top and bottom so i could store things in it and use the top as a shelf. I love the color, it matches perfectly with our green, blue and brown bed and bath. And the old chippy wood We hung it over our bathroom to store towels, bubble bath, soap and candles. It's by far my favorite project we have done and it was FREE!! If you noticed this post was named free project #1, i found a few more things to fix up at the lot and i'll post about them later!

“Use your imagination—you don’t have to color in the lines,” Sasha Bikoff says of redecorating. The New York–based interior designer known for her playful upholstery choices has a penchant for revamping midcentury Italian and French furniture with remnants of luxe fabrics from fashion houses such as Pucci, Dolce & Gabbana, Oscar de la Renta, and Chanel. Bikoff, whose projects recently outgrew her Tribeca basement, just opened an antiques showroom down the street that offers her own colorful riffs on Milo Baughman chairs and French Empire stools. Architectural Digest caught up with the revisionist thinker for tips on how, as she puts it, “to wake up oldies but goodies. Photo: Patrick Cline Reupholster the tired. Upholstery is a sure way to transform an old hand into a statement, says Bikoff. Do not be afraid to opt for fabrics with a lot of personality. To create harmony, study the shape of the piece and pick a print that mimics its design, or recover a classic with a strikingly modern print to make it pop. “If purple is your favorite color, you should have a purple piece your house,” she adds. Photo: Patrick Cline Overdye the rug. Send a large-format rug to a good dyer for brilliant recoloring. Overdye antique rugs—Bikoff is partial to Chinese Deco carpets—in fresh colors such as marigold, cerulean, and peridot. Gentle tie-dyeing techniques can also produce wonderfully vivifying results. Reset the stage for an otherwise muted room, or match a rug to a vignette of furniture to create a whole new world. Photo: Patrick ClineReshuffle the mix. Sometimes, introducing one or two pieces into unexpected company changes everything. Move an 18th-century love seat into a room with side tables from Dorothy Draper’s Hollywood Regency moment, or scoot a balloon-back chair up to a Memphis Milano desk. “The magic is in the mingling,” Bikoff says. “It’s like a conversation between some unique personalities.” Source

Get ready for some major Holiday inspiration! It is time once again for Bachman's Idea House! I think by now you know the drill with the Idea House but just in case: Bachman's is a Floral and Gift Garden here in Minneapolis, and their Idea House was their original founder's house built in the 1920's. The company now uses the house for their seasonal Idea House creating entirely new rooms for each of the four seasons. Everything about each room is different for each season's idea house, right down to the paint on the walls. When you enter the house you get a brochure that lists all the details for each room including the paint color and 'ideas'. The cool part? Everything in each room is for sale! We'll start in the Sunroom this time, I will list all the Ideas at the end of each room. Get your Pin It ready, here we go!

However, it still wasn't as cool as what we did with our staircase last year :) But maybe we will do without putting snow in the house and just write out a message this time! Click here to see the 2010 Holiday House and 2011 Spring, Summer, and Fall Houses ************************ PLEASE NOTE: In case you didn't read the top of the post, I just want to reiterate that this IS NOT OUR HOUSE and I am not employed or affiliated with Bachman's in any way (which means I did not decorate the rooms shown). I am a HUGE fan of the Ideas House and love sharing it as long as they allow people take photographs when they visit. It seems some people have been confused about that and I would NEVER want to take credit for something I did not work on. There, I feel better now :) Hope you found some inspiration, thanks for stopping by!
These days, the rustic look is all the rage, and for good reason! While there is much to love about the hustle and bustle of modern life and the excitement of the city, sometimes it gets to be a bit much.
