repurposed shelving - vintage wooden crates used as wall shelves for displaying a horse collection - Holly Mathis Interiors via Atticmag

Repurposed shelving finds alternative ways to create displays and personalize our homes.

unfitted bathrooms - minimalist vanity with vessel sinks and storage below - Elle Decor via Atticmag

Styles of four unfitted bathrooms benefit from not having conventional vanity cabinets. One aspect of doing more with less involves editing down to necessities. This is especially true for unfitted bathrooms – those which have no built-in or “fitted” cabinetry. What’s interesting is how cabinet-free baths cut across the style spectrum – from minimalist to country. Instead of … [Read more...]

antique chest vanity - painted antique chest converted to bathroom sink vanity - Coastal Living via Atticmag

A good carpenter can easily create an antique chest vanity for a bath by adapting a vintage piece. This charmingly painted, country style two-door commode lends itself especially well to  becoming an antique chest vanity.
