I found all of the following ideas on the DIY Home & Gardens Website... these were some of my favorites. Thought you all might like them too!
STENCILED HEAD BOARD... INSTRUCTIONS: "Although this headboard looks complex, it requires only basic skills and a few bucks. Using a jigsaw, cut a curvy headboard from medium-density fiberboard (MDF), and paint a base coat in a color you love. When dry, use a stencil roller (find it at a crafts store) to apply a trendy damask stencil in a cool contrasting color. We rounded out this vignette with stenciled pillows."
COASTER ART....
YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE AN ARTIST FOR THIS ONE... INSTRUCTIONS: "For this large canvas, simply return to old college textbooks for words and phrases you like and enlarge them on 11x17-inch paper. After trimming the pages close to the text, glue the papers to a large piece of canvas. Cut colorful tissue paper into irregular shapes. Using glue diluted 3:1 with water and a wide paintbrush, affix the tissue-paper shapes to the canvas. When the tissue gets wet from the glue, the words show through."
NOT SO ORDINARY VINTAGE FRAMES... CAN'T WAIT TO DO THIS ONE!!! I think this would be cool with more personal pictures instead of vintage pictures either printed in black & white or sepia.
I LOVEEEE THIS ONE, They used ceiling medallions (what goes around the top of a light fixture to hide the hole in the ceiling). You can get these at Lowes for a decent price.
OLD LICENSE PLATES HAMMERED TO CHEAP REPURPOSED WOOD...
My DREAM is to open my own store of refurbished furniture, art, & other creations by local artists! It will most likely be several years until it ever opens. Until then, I plan to put pictures on this blog of things I have done as well as neat decorating ideas that I hope to use as inspiration for when my reveries unfold.

I forgot to take a "BEFORE" picture of this one but it was a very yucky colored gold beforehand, & now it is a vibrant fun pink! The mirror hangs on the wall, I just didn't want to put a nail in the wall just to take a picture~!
OR [$75] FOR BOTH THE TABLE & MIRROR
