Cat on a Limb

Some people have all the luck.

My kitchen remodel is taking forever.  In the meantime, look at this kitchen before and after!

Catherine from Cat on a Limb found this vintage children’s kitchen for $5 on Craig’s List.

Before:

Now it’s a fun one-of-a-kind country kitchen…

Super cute! Even cuter are the proud new owners.  See them and the cost breakdown of how that $5 find and less than $28 transformed at her country children’s kitchen makeover.

Then, just as my seasonal affective disorder is about to get the best of me (so much snow and cold, short days and did I mention cold?), I see a hint of spring!

Using Target’s version as inspiration,

Catherine created her own !

Cute “centerpiece, chandelier or mobile”.  See the tutorial and get the bird template:  Paper, String and Branches. 
Catherine – both projects are adorable!  You did a fantastic job!  Thank you so much for sharing your creativity!

Speaking of “Cat”…we’re getting one!  🙂  I miss Niski so much.  I work from home and days are just too quiet and lonely.  I’m used to having company.  Russ has an office cat so he’s a little more confident but I appreciate any feline parent advice. 
Enjoy the weekend!
Coming soon – in order to fix the feed, the DIY Show Off will soon have a new look. Unsuccessful attempts have pushed me to switch to my own domain. Thanks for your patience and sticking with it while I work out the bugs. 🙂

Got some DIY and decorating eye candy for you!  Just in time to inspire your weekend DIY.  Unless you’re on break for the holidays and focused on all of the fun holiday preparations?  I’m not to that point yet but hopefully after the weekend, we will be until 2011.  

Nikki from Grand Design is amazing. Here are a few of her projects but if you have time this weekend, head over and check out more!
Her little boy’s bedroom is too cute.  Don’t you just love the antique feel? Cool lockers, beautiful antique furniture and I bet he loves the pendant star light fixture!

Sweet little princess room… again, so cozy and vintage and just so sweet. Gorgeous bed and old windows!
She also transformed her friend’s bedroom.  It’s stunning.  Nikki’s style is the type that inspires me, what I’d love my home to reflect.  If your friend turned your room into a pretty, relaxing retreat like this would you be forever grateful?
You’ll have to visit Nikki’s original post to get all of the details but this original art has special meaning.  It’s beautiful:
An old door headboard.  Clever and so pretty!
And even a window seat…
So what do you guys think? Dreamy? 
Nikki, thank you so much for sharing your beautiful designs and inspiring DIY projects!
