Before and After: Julie's Bright and Cheery Kitchen Makeover
Julie, who writes the awesome blog Mamaphunk, recently took her kitchen from drab to fab with a total makeover. She writes, "My husband and I did everything except install the cabinets and countertops, we're good but not that good! I wanted to go for an Anthropologie-like vibe and I think I did a decent job.
Do You Have any Furniture With Chicken Wire?
Traditionally, farmhouse kitchens often featured furniture with panel doors covered with chicken wire or screening. Pie safes and cabinets with chicken wire were usually used to store cooking dishes and food items. I love the country look of this cabinet and wouldn't mind adding it to my own home.
Do You Have Cabinets Under Your Bathroom Sink?
I spotted this bathroom in the portfolio of interiors photographer Monica Bach, and it got me thinking about under-cabinet storage. I've found that having too much storage can quickly lead to collecting unnecessary junk — and that's certainly not fun come time for Spring cleaning. The legs and façade of this sink unit are really stunning, and having just a simple basket below for a few odds and ends lets them shine.
Cool Idea: A Kitty Litter Cabinet
Keep your house So Fresh and So Clean with a designated kitty-litter box cabinet. This Brookhaven Colony Recessed Cabinet (inquire for price) from Quintessentials was carved with a cat silhouette, so your feline knows where to go to . .
DIY: Painting Your Kitchen Cabinets
Day-lab DIY posted before and after photos of the process of painting her kitchen cabinets, along with simple instructions for her readers to do the same. She went for '40s style inspired green cabinets with a white trim. The photos are so inspiring, especially for those of us burdened with dingy '60s cabinets, and not intimidating in the least.

Crave Worthy: Victoria Cocktail Cabinet
You can't get away with serving two-buck Chuck and Popov from this magnificent Pedro Sousa Cocktail Cabinet ($22,750). Well, maybe you could, since your guests might be so distracted by the fabulousness of this cabinet they'd miss out on the bottles altogether.
The first of a collection of limited edition cabinets by the young Portuguese designer Pedro Sousa, who graduated from design school in 2002, this case piece is not only a sleekly luxurious and unusual confection, but an investment in fine art.
Cool Idea: Cabinet Door Mirror
In a Sydney home tour shot by photographer Todd Selby, I noticed this old cabinet door — check out the knobs in the center behind the plant — repurposed as a mirror, and love the look of it. I've seen old windows repurposed in plenty of ways (see here and here), but never a door. On second thought, this could be a window that opens outward.
Etsy Find: Jean Pelle Vanity Cabinet
My Etsy Finds normally fall under the categories of crafty things, textiles (napkins!), or artwork. But it's rare to find a furniture piece that's not just a reupholstered ottoman. So, I was surprised to come across this Jean Pelle Vanity Cabinet ($129).
Etsy Find: High Tea Spoon Cabinet
I've written about many common types of storage and even some that have stumped you. But, never a spoon cabinet. Only the Aussies (OK, and maybe the Brits) would designate an entire cabinet on the wall just for their spoons.
Steal of the Day: West Elm Wide Two-Drawer File Cabinet
The key to a stylish home office is finding furniture that doesn't look too severe. The only thing severe about this West Elm Wide Two-Drawer File Cabinet (below left) is that it's severely stylish and severely on sale: $200, reduced from $430. It comes in darker chocolate finish or lighter acorn, and I love the way the "handles" at the top and bottom of the drawers look like a design element.
