Classy UpdateTransform a dresser with paint and wall paper.
Chic taupe paint and toile wallpaper-highlight this dresser's traditional lines. Play with the position of the wallpaper until you're happy with the design, and then cut the paper to fit the drawer fronts. After painting the dresser, apply the wallpaper; protect it and the painted surfaces with an acrylic sealer.

Build a bar for your basement.
Convert a commercial worktable into a flashy bar by cutting holes in the top for an above-counter sink and faucet. To hide the plumbing, hang a metal-look laminate panel from closet-door glide.
Easy Access
A paint job and a new set of casters turned this old bedroom shelving unit into a rolling kitchen cart. Its shelves are perfect for holding linens and dishes. The drawer, with its updated drawer pull, can stash take-out menus.
Modern Spin
Turn an old bookcase on its side to transform it into a clean-lined storage unit. First repair the frame by stabilizing it with screws, filling scratches with putty, and painting it a high-gloss white. Next, install three long partitions and two small shelves to create interesting storage nooks. Then, remove the back of the unit and base. Finally, prop the unit on legs made from threaded metal flanges and pipes.
