bla to ooo la la

i think one of the main reasons i can't stop watching HGTV is i have this fascination with the before and after effect. in interior design especially, the transformation can be so refreshing. i am majorly guilty of turning my nose up at pieces i've owned for a long time. i rarely catch myself thinking with some re-purpose and creativity something once boring can become something that really stands out.

this is one of the main reasons i am a crazy stalker of designsponge.com. i've mentioned this site in a previous post, but today i was once again blown away by some of the featured before and after projects. (i'm sure it won't be the last time)

this definitely got my creativity flowing, so i thought i'd share! hats off to Libby Nikkel whose rockin transformation was posted on design sponge today......
(ps-she bought this for $10 on craiglist!)
