Insane Ikea Cabinetry Upgrade

<br />While we all spend time dreaming of custom fitted kitchens and case goods, budget rarely allows for such luxury. That means Ikea cabinetry is far more common than custom cabinetry. That doesn't mean you have to settle for humdrum finishes and door styles, however. A Swedish company is changing the face of stock cabinetry, literally. Fair warning - make sure you have at least 15 minutes to spend picking your jaw up off your desk before clicking on this link!<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.superfront.com/global/">Superfront</a> offers doors, cabinet panels, legs and handles </div><div style="text-align: center;">that are fitted expressly for Ikea kitchens and cabinet frames, </div><div style="text-align: center;">and the results are tres belles, mes amis….</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Palette: Bone and Black | Inlaid Bone

<br />So I've been posting about bone and black this week, and of course must include inlaid bone furnishings. I cannot fathom the hours of work that go into these gems, it truly is an art form. In a quiet interior the pattern would add so much visual interest, yet is graphic enough that other colours and patterns can be played against.

yay or nay: deconstructed seating

<br /><br /><br />Hello lovelies! A huge <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666;">mwah</span></b> to all the amazing women who shared their <b><a href="http://10rooms.blogspot.com/search/label/Crushing%20On%20Color">colour crushes</a></b> the past two weeks - I loved seeing what inspired each of you. Thank you so much for filling10 Rooms with beauty in my absence.<br /><br /><br /><br />We generally don't take too many photos on vacation, but I did manage a few good ones - will share in a few days. The highlight of the trip was our time in St Thomas - it's our second time there and it may just be my favourite place on earth.<br /><br />I'm not sure if everyone experiences this, but getting away from our everyday life allows me to come back and look at everything with fresh eyes. We were living in a much smaller space while we were away, with so few "things" around us, and coming home and seeing all this excess makes me realize we need to simplify here. Since the kids have nixed moving again (hunger strikes were threatened at the very mention, lol!), I guess that means doing some serious spring cleaning. Time to clean out the house, again :) Where does it all come from?!!<br /><br />So thinking about re-purposing and up cycling have produced this post - I am interested in your take on the deconstructed furniture trend that keeps popping up...<br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqpod4kt_eCLx2PzIPcLKUVSgYZpNjLZn609iD7teOkt2rfKCOHwhWj6JVwt4QQZkHfircfHGTu0oEca_1wJSm7WfM085brNat36rHGR1-dWGnvevZyy2uLgg0IV3wfxyBYoTyyP_ZLbjH/s1600/Screen+Shot+2012-04-02+at+9.30.48+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqpod4kt_eCLx2PzIPcLKUVSgYZpNjLZn609iD7teOkt2rfKCOHwhWj6JVwt4QQZkHfircfHGTu0oEca_1wJSm7WfM085brNat36rHGR1-dWGnvevZyy2uLgg0IV3wfxyBYoTyyP_ZLbjH/s1600/Screen+Shot+2012-04-02+at+9.30.48+AM.png" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><br />first saw this from <b><a href="http://www.facebook.com/MaisonAuNaturel819">Dan Marty</a></b> via <b><a href="http://www.housebeautiful.com/">House Beautifu</a>l</b> in May 2010.
