Repurposed Piano Bookshelves

May 16, 2013 by Allison 2 Comments

vintage repurposed piano becomes wall mounted bookshelves tgm design via atticmag

See how mahogany piano cases have been remade into fascinating bookcases. As a little girl, I spent many hours tickling the ivories of our baby grand, but later I picked up a flute and never looked back.  When my parents built a new home it was a hard decision for Mom to sell the piano as it had been in our family for three generations.  While I'm happy it was restored, and is … [Read more...]

antique wine tasting table in an all white kitchen - inspiring interiors via atticmag

Wine tasting tables blend form and function, while remaining versatile pieces. A favored purchase of my youngest daughter for her home was a reproduction French wine tasting table.  It's small in size, but big in character - raw, aged oak with hand joinery.  She's currently using it as a living room side table, but it would also function nicely as a bedside table.  A larger, … [Read more...]

painted dressers - blue gradient color painted dresser from Red Hen Home via Atticmag

Painted dressers, with a smooth blending of shades from light to dark, are attractive and creative. Now and then I run across something so creative that I can't wait to use the idea at my house or --even better -- my youngest daughter's house. These gradient painted dressers qualify. When I first saw the vintage dresser Korrie from Red Hen Home painted in gradient colors … [Read more...]

A safari theme baby's room by a DIY mom is designed for growth and exploration. We're having a baby boom at Atticmag, and our first new mom-to-be is Brandy O.

Expecting her first child in July, Brandy began a safari theme nursery by painting the walls of the … [Read more...]

For my daughter's dining room redo we used mix of reproduction and vintage furnishings.

Entering her home, the foyer opens into the dining room (to the right) and living room (straight ahead).  The living area was featured a few weeks ago when I … [Read more...]

Classic Trends in Decorating

August 25, 2010 by Allison 2 Comments

vintage house numbers

Truly timeless objects are classic trends that never go out of style when it comes to accessories. Go to any home decorating forum and it won't be hard to find someone asking about current and classic trends in decorating.  The problem with "the latest" is that it probably won't stand the test of time. Often, it ends up in a tag sale at a fraction of its original cost.  I've … [Read more...]
