Good ideas are rare. Even more, they rarely come out of no where. Mine usually come from another blog or magazine article. That’s right, Dominic … those gourmet recipes I whip up, I didn’t turn into Martha Stewart overnight … so don’t be fooled. I copied them. I copied the Martha Stewarts out there and I’m proud to admit it!
This is what kicked off my good idea. You know the crib I got for a $75 steal? My biggest stress is finding other nursery furniture to match. Yes, that is the Pottery Barn in me speaking. Match, match, match. This week my focus has turned to a changing table … I have searched and searched and nothing speaks to me. Yes, I realize there are hundreds of options between Target, Babies R Us, and the internet, but if it doesn’t speak … it doesn’t speak and I can’t force myself to love something I don’t. Out of this conundrum, my good idea was born … what if I buy an old changing table or even a dresser or bookshelf from Craigslist and paint it a la above piano? WHAT IF I PAINT IT TURQUOISE? What if I paint little birds like this somewhere …
Let's grab all the furniture in storage and head to the paint store! Can't wait for summer to arrive:)
