Outside in

This grassy carpet is a great idea.

Lucass Loft modern dining room

Sewing trunk

I got a large trunk from a kerb side pick up which I am using for my fabric. I think I could paint it white to cover some of the damage. But another great idea is to cover the damage with craft objects.


The how to is from marie claire ideas.

Another great way to make a bed side table or coffee table is shown below.
