Doily Design Chair | Road Kill Rescue
I’m surprised I’ve never had a car accident on road side pick up days. I’m always scanning the road for perfect pieces and the feeling of sadness when I see something perfect but can’t get it. I don’t think work would understand me being late because I stopped in rush hour traffic to pick up a gorgeous little side table! But anyway, I digress. If you see something perfect but it looks a little worse for wear, don’t stress - as long as it’s only cosmetic and not structural, you can change the look with some elbow grease and paint. What I love about this DIY is that the original wood grain still shows through with the lace doily pattern. You could even do this with a dining table or coffee table.

Industrial Style Lamp | IKEA Hackers
It amazes me some people’s creativity and their ability to look at something like a mirror frame, old candlestick and a tin and think - hey that would make a great lamp! It seems quite easy to use and would look amazing turned on! Something like this would cost so much if you bought it vintage (or even brand new) but with the few items you need to make it you can have the style at a fraction of the cost!

DIY Terrarium | Intimate Weddings
What takes a terrarium from something pretty to something adorable? A tiny little man! This reminds me of the gorgeous art of Erin Tyner. If you’re wondering where you can get your hands on a tiny person for your own terrarium, well the answer is: a toy train store! I did a quick check on ebay and you can even get little people sitting on seats - that would be awesome! This DIY is from Intimate Weddings - they suggest making them for centrepieces - perfect!

I’ve seen this before and I went searching for it just so I could post it here. I want to do this, the only problem is deciding on which lyrics! The Apartment Therapy link has instructions and the link to the original site.
