Kitchen Island

This kitchen island started out as an old hutch that had been scorched in a fire. We took a saw-all and cut the top part off that had burnt shelves. Then added legs, painted it, then my husband took some scrap mahogany left over from my bathroom sink project and made a top for it. Coated it with mineral oil and voila!

    Great idea. This would work great as a privacy fence on the side of a deck. Thank you.

  • "Polatems" (Pots,plates, totems)  My husband always says "What will she think of next"! 30

"Polatems" (pots, plates, totems) birdbaths, bird feeders and planters.

I had so much fun putting my "Polatems" together. I collected beautiful pots and plates from Goodwill and garage sales. I dug a hole 12" deep intserted a piece of rebar, which can be purchased at a hardware store in any length of your choice. Fill the hole with concrete. Level the rebar to make it straight. Once the concrete dries..overnight is good, start putting the pots and plates onto the rebar in an artistic order, gluing them as you go..I used glass glue from the hardware ...»
store, it comes in a caulking tube. Use a level to keep each pot or plate straight. You can add pieces in the middle such as a metal dish from an old firepit as a planter or even a terricotta planter. Just be creative. Top it off with a glass ball, a ceramic bird or whatever suits you fancy. There you have it ...Enjoy and watch the birds..even the Hummers like the colors.

  • (Interior Design By: Eva Zellmer and Veronica Valencia) ABC's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, designed this kitchen for an all girls home. They used the "Pink Love" Silestone countertop on the island as the focal point for the kitchen. The rest of the space is more neutral in tone. 5

How To Use Unique Colors In Your Kitchen

AK recently had to opportunity to interview Kim Lewis, a talented designer from ABC's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. We talked with Kim about ways to incorporate unique or bold colors into a kitchen in practical and classic ways that won't date the space. Some of Kim's advice was to bring your unique color choice into your space with accessories (linen napkins, vases, etc) and also with paint!

Kim's wish for consumers is to "start having more ...»

Design & Décor: Small nursery? Open up the closet! We were looking for creative and practical ways to add to our son's nursery

Before and after pictures. I have more pictures at: http://brooksbaby.wordpress.com/category/bab... ...»

It has been AMAZING! We did floor to ceiling beadboard in the closet, added our own custom shelving and racks for baby clothes, got the wicker baskets from Michael's and most importantly...we added dimming lights! A fantastic nightlight and easy way to control the lighting in the baby's room. I love the way it turned out and we couldn't be happier about the practical use of space. I don't miss the doors at all. Such a fun way to open up your space! highly recommend! And I used a great contractor, feel free to contact me for his information.

  • The walls had been somewhat primed and the paper stippable.
  • The remains that would not peel off.
  • Scratch up the vinyl surface so when you wet it, the water will soak in.
  • Using a garden sprayer with hot water will speed up the process.  Spray it repeatedly in rounds also loosens up the invisible glue.
  • After a couple of rounds of hot water, the leftover paper peels like a banana.
  • Lastly, with a nice sponge and a big bucket of hot water go over the walls two or three times until your water is staying clean.

As far as removing the wallpaper, this was an easier one. Best, Charles

  • That drill/driver isn't big enough, I need more power! I don't think so Tim! These compact drill/drivers pack more of a punch than you might think.  Check out what this real user thought: http://bit.ly/wZF0LT 4
  • Everyone dreams of owning a giant cabinet saw, but not everyone has the room or the budget (or loves their fingers too much). Check out what this user thought about something a little more accommodating: http://bit.ly/ArMdNV 12
  • Running out of room in your shop?  This miter saw takes the space of a compound miter saw, yet still gets the cutting capacity of a sliding rail miter saw.  Check out what this contractor thought: http://bit.ly/wz8Wdh 6
  • Tackling any projects with multiple materials?  A twin blade circular saw is a great solution allowing you to cut without switching blades. Watch it in use: http://bit.ly/yOvtYw 1
  • Laser levels are handy tools that offer faster, more accurate solutions for a variety of tasks.  Green lasers offer a 400% brighter line for interior work. For more info check out: http://bit.ly/zp8ezo 1
