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 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.
Etsy Finds: Antique Mirrors
These days, most trends are historically referential, be it in fashion, furniture, or even finance. But when it comes to mirrors, all the trends I've been spying as of late have been deeply rooted in the past. Think starburst mirrors, Rococo mirrors, tri-fold mirrors.
