Amanda Carol transformed her dresser with the help of O’verlays, a company that makes light-weight fretwork that is compatible with many different IKEA pieces (and of course you could use it with your other furniture too!). The pieces are relatively cheap and each piece will tell you what IKEA furniture it will coordinate with. I’d love some of these to decorate my  doors with.</p> </blockquote>http://housewivesunited.tumblr.com/post/30315028831http://housewivesunited.tumblr.com/post/30315028831Mon, 27 Aug 2012 09:57:31 -0400vegetariankos<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m95sdpt3cD1qdwkufo1_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m95sdpt3cD1qdwkufo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m95sdpt3cD1qdwkufo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m95sdpt3cD1qdwkufo4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m95sdpt3cD1qdwkufo5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m95sdpt3cD1qdwkufo6_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://scissorsandthread.tumblr.com/post/29964078617/blik-wall-graphics-ill-be-the-first-to-admit-i" target="_blank">scissorsandthread</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><strong><a href="http://www.whatisblik.com/" target="_blank">Blik Wall Graphics</a></strong></p> <p>I’ll be the first to admit… I was getting a bit sick of wall stickers. They were everywhereand many were… less than pleasing to the eye. But tonight I happened across Blik, a site I’d known of but forgotten about. And they’ve completely changed my mind! Blik was one of the first wall sticker companies and they have gone from strength to strength. Not only do they still have their amazing wall tiles (easier than wallpaper!) but they have art pieces from tshirt site Threadless, designs by artists, amazing kids stickers and even floor and desk pieces! Now I’m off to try and narrow down my list - Christmas is coming!</p> </blockquote>http://housewivesunited.tumblr.com/post/29969253424http://housewivesunited.tumblr.com/post/29969253424Wed, 22 Aug 2012 11:54:09 -0400vegetariankos<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m8o4hgc63G1r8ifzbo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://wookiesrugrats.tumblr.com/post/29300642694/toy-vehicles-from-plastic-bottles-by-gareth" target="_blank">wookiesrugrats</a>:</p> <blockquote> <blockquote> <p><a href="http://blog.makezine.com/2012/08/12/toy-vehicles-from-plastic-bottles/" target="_blank">Toy Vehicles from Plastic Bottles</a><br/> By Gareth Branwyn, <a href="http://blog.makezine.com/2012/08/12/toy-vehicles-from-plastic-bottles/" target="_blank">makezine.com</a></p> <p>It’s amaz­ing what magic can be cast with an empty deter­gent bot­tle, some bot­tle caps, and a flour­ish of paint.
