Craigslist Cravings: Nifty Bedframe.

I really like the look of the bedframe.  Big, chunky, rustic.  The headboard needs to be a bit different for my taste, but I wonder if I could craft a similar frame for myself, and add a chunky headboard to match.

Craigslist Cravings: Retro Chairs

These would be swell recovered and situated around a game table.  At $25 each they are a steal too.

Gotta Make Something Soon.

I saw this diy on Design*Sponge the other day and it really got my creative spark going.  I like the map idea, but how cool would it be if your shoved the slats together first and painted an original work of art like a neat portrait or landscape before your separated it slightly.

Or even better, get a print of one of your favorite works of art blown up extra large and paste it to the boards before separating them.  I think my photograph "Holding" would be a great candidate for a slatted format.  You'd still see the image, but it would be slightly abstracted.

An old advertisement would look nifty segmented like that too.  Such as this label from LABELSTONE on Etsy.

Craigslist Cravings: A Couch to Paint.

I'm wanting to find a couch like this one:

And paint it so it looks like this one from Design*Sponge.

I'm thinking perhaps a mossy green.
