IKEA is going to show you When a MUFFIN Pan is NOT a Muffin Pan : ) They are presenting 4 different ways to use one of their pans and I love the first one for any home decor. They turn the Muffin Tin into a Mini Herb Garden. It looks great…you can even use it as a centerpiece on the Kitchen Table…need a little parsley or a sliver of basil…snip snip! I would get a cool pair of mini scissors and add it to the setting…fun…great looking and tasty! They also show you how it can become and wonderful serving tray…LOVE IT! and then 2 more that are not exactly home decor but really handy!
Here is a piece that is so simple to make and you can turn it into any style Home Decor you would like. How about Natural Wood for Modern…a White Washed or Gray Washed for Farmhouse…Distressed White for Cottage…Dark Wood for Traditional and so on and so on. It is made from a Slatted Bed Slats from IKEA…they are called Bunkie Boards. Just hang and add any kind of hooks…baskets…containers…etc. you would like. Drill a whole for your favorite Clipboard.

Come and see her process…you can create your dream piece with the basics and your favorite colors and hardware. It is totally amazing that you can get such a high looking product for pennies.
I am always incredibly surprised what comes from a plain Tarva Dresser. The makeovers are mind blowing and this one is at the top of the list for me. Come and see how Sarah over at Stories created a picture perfect dresser for her Nursery. The right shade your favorite color…gorgeous hardware and just angling the legs is the secret to this beauty. I also adore how she stylized it…a look that the baby can grow with (those Foxes are just too cute). It’s classic and would shine in any home decor with the right color and hardware. One of this years trending colors is sage…wouldn’t this look amazing in that color!
