I found 2 nightstands and 1 dresser on craigslist for only $75. They were pretty terrible! With old ugly formica tops!
I primed them with a good oilbased primer, painted them black, taped them and spray painted them silver.
And I love them. And yes, I'm obsessed with stripes!

This is a bathroom that I have painted using latex house paints to simulate the appearance of walking into several of Vincent Van Gogh's paintings. I chose 4 of his more recognizable paintings all with a night time theme and reproduced his style and brush strokes using bold and intense colors. It took 11 days from start to finish. I coincidentally was born 100 years to the day Vincent was born. I am an artist and share the same name and even have blue eyes like the master himself!

Art Noir lamps are a beautiful accent anytime but best enjoyed as a night light. This is when the art, lights, and bottle all come into play to produce a fantasy of color.

This is very similar to a project I posted a few months ago only using smaller beads.
This simple, inexpensive beaded nite lite cover can be made in in a variety of colors of beads and crochet cotton to dress up a nursery or a bathroom. It uses 216 4mm beads and #10 crochet cotton, and a #7 Boye steel hook.I have and instructional video on you tube which could be very helpful. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5-tox66VEY. You can check out my other patterns at http://www.blairsbells.com. Before crocheting string 216 4mm beads onto #10 crochet cotton, I use the bead spinner and I also use a dental floss threader which is great if you have small children or pets around.
