loft-y goals

May 15th, 2008

since stephen and i have moved into our loft, we’ve been doing some “home improvements” here and there. when you live in a place that has mostly brick walls, hanging pictures becomes a huge task. one of the biggest things we needed to do was re-do the closet. i love everything about our place, but the closet was a disaster. it is small, and was equipped with a crappy rack that barely could hold half of my clothes, much less mine and stephen’s together! so for the past month we’ve been dealing with clothes and shoes everywhere while stephen designed a new closet contraption. well, it’s finished!! and i love it, our new closet kicks our old closet’s ass.

one of my favorite websites, design*sponge, had this dresser displayed for one of the before & after projects and it’s so cute!!

dresser front project

this was submitted by chris, who created this for his niece using an old dresser, some colorful paper, paint, and mod podge glue (along with a few other materials). i’ve been wanting to do a project like this for some time now - and this may just be the swift kick i need. while it’s a little too girly for stephen’s taste, i’m sure i could find something fun that would go with our stuff!!
