If you are into vintage or want something really unique for your home, think about making a Thomas Edison inspired book lamp. It makes me think about the first lightbulb! This great idea came from The Shabby Creek Cottage.
Ladders are such fun decor items. Daisy Mae Belle created a bookcase out of this old ladder and I LOVE it!!! It think it is such a great idea. Very unique.
I'm loving this vintage book display at Knick of Time. My favorite part is holding the books together with a rusty/aged belt. Totally cool! She has quite a few ideas for book bundles and items holding them together. One of my other favorites is the vintage measuring tape!
Hope you all had a great Christmas! Maybe you got a mirror under your tree! Whether you did or didn't, this wall of mirrors at Shabby Love is gorgeous! I'm loving the shabby vintage look of all the mirrors!
This vintage spool Christmas tree is perfect for crafters. I could see it on everyone's little craft table. I wish I had enough vintage spools to make one like Cup of Delight did.
Two Friends. Two Cities has a fabulous idea for old windows or a frame. Dry your flowers and arrange nicely inside. It makes a gorgeous wall display!
I'm loving what Shabby, Chic and Charming did with a vintage suitcase. She used it as a table top after she painted it a pretty white. What a charming little sidetable! I love the vintage phone on top too!
I love what Dream Book Design did with this old vintage scale. She turned it into a clock! What an original idea! What else can you make into a clock?
Amy at Diary of a Quilter always has such great ideas to do with vintage sheets! I'm especially crushing on this vintage sheet baby quilt she made! Gorgeous material makes a gorgeous quilt.
ALSO, Amy and some other bloggers are putting together a
social event for all bloggers who would like meet other bloggers during the Internation Quilt Market on May 14 in the evening. I have no idea what that is, but the social for bloggers (not really connected to "Market") sounds really fun! Amy assured me you don't have to be quilter to attend the social. I am trying really hard to attend and I would love to meet other bloggers. Go to this post to learn more about the party!
These vases at Nifty Thrifty Things used to be clear glass! They are so much more beautiful painted - from the inside out! Check out paint glass from the inside.
Painting chevron stripes is quickly becoming the rage. See how Bon Temps Beignet painted some chevron stripes!!!
Check out how EmmylouBeeDo turned a white onesie into this darling lovable St. Patty's shirt! This would work well for t-shirts too! I love the heart on the clover! Cute touch! You can print out the clover from this site.
I'm totally smitten with this bed made out of two matching vintage doors. One for the headboard and one for the footboard. See the pictures at Junk Restore.
I'm digging this assorted groups of vintage knobs, keys and trunks! It looks great against a plain wall at Peppermint Plum. Looks like I need to visit the antique store for some of these items.
Creative Ambitions has so many beautiful creations that are unique. Have any drawers laying around? Turn it into something gorgeous like this dressed-up drawer.
She also made this farm bench for her entry way. LOVE IT!!!!
See the farm bench too.

The Elephant's Trunk has a great idea I haven't seen before. She dressed up some plain candles with vintage brooches. They make the candles look so fancy!
I'm loving this way to display beautiful vintage sheets in hoop frames. Aren't those sheets gorgeous? Dairy of a Quilter has this lovely collection.
Rosy Red Buttons uses rosettes to dress up this lampshade (It had ric rac she didn't like.) I love the rosettes. It is a cute Pottery Barn knock-off.
