AbbieB's Profile

One of the most enjoyable movie theater experiences I have ever had was at a little movie theater somewhere in Copenhagen. The theater had rows of airline seats just like in this home theater. It was so comfortable! I always thought I would love to have a row of them in my home theater one day. I love that the theme was expanded to include the windows and bins. The bank of tech in the back corner fits in seamlessly.

The rest of the house is fantastic too!

Are you guys kidding? The before is a total piece of crap. The after looks great.

I love this.
I would have painted the lower cabinets too, and ruined the whole thing. I think keeping the lower cabinets white makes for a nice smooth flow of color, bright cheerful stripe of turquoise above and a white swath uniting the appliances and cabinets on the bottom.
I was not seeing the avocadoo working until a previous poster mentioned some color unifying curtains on the windows. That would look fabulous!
The diagonal checked floor looks modern and fresh with the bold colors. Truly inspirational to those of us on budget and stuck in the rental market for the foreseeable future.

Wow! I think it looks great. Definitely shabby chic (the painted hardware adds to that feel.) The piece did not seem to be a precious antique before, but rather a knock off like mentioned in the original blog post, made of basic pine.

For someone that did not have the experience of restoring furniture, and was even a bit afraid of painting, the project came out beautifully. I've never heard of the product mentioned that allows you to skip sanding, but it seems perfect for those of us with little time and experience but with the desire to paint up a terrific find (and doing it all while working around a baby bump!)

It seems to fit in the nook like it was made to order. I think after getting that nice gloss coat it will be perfect as a changing table, easy to wipe clean after the inevitable messes that will occur. Beautiful fabric choice on the pad. I like the idea of removing the door and adding a matching curtain, but I don't think it is absolutely necessary, after all, one hand can open a door just as easily as pushing back a curtain. The wooden latch may come in handy a year from now when you have a little explorer on your hands.

Yes! Too bad my husband hates mayo, or I'd be looking for a reason to make one ASAP.
