Cool Idea: Lighten Up Dark Furniture Without Paint
Recently, I've been really impressed by More Ways to Waste Time's inspiring dining room re-vamp. There was one seemingly small change to an heirloom piece of furniture that really caught my attention. Since the oak sideboard in the living room is a family heirloom, she couldn't paint it, but she did want to make the sideboard feel less imposing.
Before and After: Grandma's Sideboard, Refreshed
Craftster member OpheliaITA recently refurbished her grandmother's sideboard. She writes, "I started this restoration two years ago, but the university, work, and, well, the lack of will stopped my good intentions! This Summer I finally had the time to bring back to life this old sideboard that was of my grandmother's and had stayed for years in the cellar with humidity, dust, mice, and other not so sociable little animals!"
Old Furniture Given Inspired New Life
The Chair Couture line features singular furniture re-imagined by designer Margaret Elman. The inspired Ms. Elman remakes French vintage pieces by reupholstering them in nature-inspired modern prints, often taken directly from photographs.
How Would You . . .
This stunning eighteenth-century Spanish double door ($12,808), available on 1st Dibs, is meant for, yes, a doorway. But if you'll remember the last How Would You, that's not how this Casa post works. Instead, I'm asking you to think outside the home-decorating box and find alternate uses for traditional home accents and furniture pieces.

Assisted Living: Incorporating a Bold New Antique
CasaSugar Community member LynniePop posted this design dilemma in the Assisted Living group:
We just purchased this new antique cabinet for our dining room. The problem is it's not really our style and really doesn't match any of the sleek, clean lined, contemporary furniture we have in our house. For some reason we fell in love with it in the antique store and decided to put it in our dining room, but I need help incorporating it with our other furniture.
Do You Own Any Vintage Furniture?
Community member Deemurph started to collect vintage furniture about eight months ago. She's now so hooked on bringing beautiful old pieces into her home that she created a group called Vintage Delight, as a place for you all to share your vintage finds. This amazing raspberry velvet tufted armchair is just one of several bygone chairs she owns.
This Just In: Jayson Home & Garden European Flea Market Launches Online
Today marks the launch of the Jayson Home & Garden European Flea Market online. Thanks to the keen eyes over at Jayson, these rare finds — a mix of timeless European furniture and lighting, antique prints and oil paintings, gilded mirrors, hotel silverware, and more —have made their way from Europe and beyond to Chicago’s Lincoln Park. The market has been running locally there since April 18th, but that's no fun for non-Illinois folk, so I’m ecstatic to see it all just a click away in my browser.
Cool Idea: Flatpack Antiques
When you think flatpack, the first thing to come to mind is Ikea, right? Well, StudioBility is trying to change that with its unbelievably cool flatpack antiques. With lines that mimic turned wood mixed with modern silhouettes, this furniture seems to successfully blend the best of both worlds.
Cool Idea: Drum as a Coffee Table
Add a little boom boom pow to your living space with a piece of "furniture" that is sure to drum up lots of conversation. On a recent antiquing adventure, I came across an old-fashioned turquoise-and-green-trimmed drum that was being cleverly displayed as a coffee table. Turned on its belly with a glass top, voila — an unconventional coffee table is created!
