Last night a friend and I were discussing options for taking her wooden bureau from drab to fab. A glass or two of vino later and we're back in the apartment [with a little Alanis Morissette for musical company] searching through magazines and blogs to try and find the look she liked. Of course, design*sponge came up with the goods and these two colourful makeovers had us both 'oooing' and 'ahhhhing'. There's nothing like having a little project to get stuck into, right? Last night's nattering has left me hankering after a bit of a craft up, so I'd love for you to let me know any DIYs that have had you inspired. Enjoy your weekend, gang!
