stuff i can lay my hands on...

1 - oh, joy

2 - shelterness

3 - real simple

4 - colette bream

5 - better homes and gardens

i've got lots of goodies waiting to be unearthed and transformed for the kid's rooms.

they're all currently residing in the avalanche-death-trap i call "our garage".

here is what i want to do with what i already have -

1 - oh, joy

i have this dresser, now i just need to source the brass hardware

and figure out the best way to paint the ikea laminate finish -

those colors are heaven and i would copy them with extreme exactness.

2 - shelterness

i love this idea.  i have a gagillion old lamps and a gagillion pieces of kid's plastic.

oh, and a garage full of spray paint.

3 - real simple

i love this, because their baby shoes are precious.

they melt my heart.

and i have a bunch of thrifted frames with no glass and lots of patina.

4 - colette beam (etsy shop)

i wouldn't buy this, sorry.

it's  wonderful shop, but i love the idea of a gilt frame (have)

and sewing a three dimensional element to go in it.

charlie is a bit more of a heart girl.

a purple heart girl.

(though i love the gray)

5 - better homes and gardens

i kept the drawers from the kitchen demo -

they are not nearly as simple as these -

but after a good paint job with a deep gray or midnight blue -

and some modern pulls -

these will make for awesome lego, block and comic book storage under luke's future bunk bed.

any thoughts?

what do you have that you want to play with?
