Cool Idea: A Workbench Bath Console
Brisbane, Australia-based design blogger Absolutely Beautiful Things recently shared photos of her home, which is the epitome of elegance. I couldn't help but be swept away by the design of her bathroom, where she used an inexpensive old timber workbench she found on eBay as a sink console, painted white. Paired with white subway tiles, hexagonal mosaic floor tiles, and two mismatched antique mirrors, the workbench has a glamorous rustic look that is so refreshing and understated.
Love It or Hate It? Black & Spiro Christmas Tree
Anna Spiro created this Christmas window display for her shop, Black & Spiro, in Brisbane, Australia. The display has a blue, white, and pink color palette and uses old Delftware to decorate the tree, as well as silver bowls and pink roses. I think it's a very festive, imaginative design for a window display, but I can't say I'd recreate it in my own home.
Before and After: Armchair, Oh to be Young Again!
Absolutely Beautiful Things recently took on the challenge of reupholstering an old armchair. I suppose this senior citizen has its charms, but it's also clearly been through a lot of wear and tear over the years. She chose a gorgeous, lattice-like pattern for the fabric, and "decided to replace the gathered arm detail on this chair with face and piping detail."

Stripes are the little black dress of tabletop décor. They're always in style. You can never go wrong with a good striped or broad-plaid tablecloth.
