One thing I've learned about blogging is that it's easy to get distracted from your Mission Statement - the reason you began blogging in the first place.
The purpose for launching fleaChic was to help spread the love of antique and vintage decor, show repurposed furniture and accessories in clever and unique ways, and inspire the reduction of waste by upcycling discarded items - all while saving money and bargain hunting! Oh, and, P.S. - fleaChic involves a LOT of DIY.
Normally I wouldn't feature a project that wasn't complete but this idea is simply too delicious not to share. Every 6 year old little girl should think she's a princess and this repurposing will help fuel her imagination.
The folks at My Ordinary Life turned an ordinary, salvaged dresser into the base of a Princess and the Pea theme:
Cute (updated) stool!
Ingredients Directions:
imagination sand, repair, paint
one discarded old armoire
sandpaper, spackle, paint
new hardware

A discarded, plain dresser was stripped and reinforced.
The drawers were repaired and painted.

Cute (outdated) stool
How darling AND practical is this raised bed? Talk about storage! By combining the bed with the dresser, the small bedroom now has lots more space. (Yes, the parents will provide a bed rail.) What a great foundation for a fairy tale themed room.
The second project I want to share with you comes from Elizabeth at Peacock Feathers. An event planner and stylist, Elizabeth loves bold colors and bright prints. While remaining true to her eclectic and charming decor, she needed to find a way to incorporate a storage space for her new hubby, Kevin.
Recipe for Charming
Ingredients Directions:
imagination sand, repair, paint
one discarded old armoire
sandpaper, spackle, paint
new hardware
Elizabeth and Kevin live and work in Philadelphia
so she lined the armoire with maps of the area.
Could not be more fleaChic!
