Came across some fun things. Some ideas to make your home unique and special

 The best way to make this is probably to stack the albums in a cardboard box and glue them together, be careful that the glue doesn't transfer to the cardboard box. When it is all dry fasten the albums on top of a from wood so you can fasten the feet to it. Put glass on top and you have a very unique table

 Found your favorite couch but don't have enough space? Here´s an idea.

 Take a couple of different small tables saw them in half, paint them in your color of choice and you have a bookcase.

Or maybe a Marie Antoinette style. If you find some old furniture that need some repainting this is a very nice look.

Painting the bedroom

Thinking about repainting the master bedroom, but what color tho choose? Been surfing the net to see what is hot and what is not in the field of colors for interior design and I'm very pleased to say that two of my favorite colors are very hot now. Purple and green. Here I have found a picture of a bedroom where I just love the purple color

and another one where green is the main color. Well it just looks so bright and happy.

This year will be bright and colorful
