April 9th, 2008

for some reason i have been collecting wine bottle corks for years.  i have bags and bags of them just taking up space in our loft. why? because i’m hoping some great project will just come to me in a burst of creativity.  well, lucky for me, today is diy day on design*sponge and they’ve got the perfect project!!  cork coasters and trivet set!

while this might not be the cure for all of those corks, it’s certainly a cute way to display some of them!!

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

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!!
