Repurposed Antique Furniture

For the past two years, I was shopping around for an mid-century buffet  that I could repurpose as a kitchen island. However, so far I was not able to find one that I really like. As an inspiration, I pinned these pictures and hopefully, soon I can start working on this creative project.

Using an antique buffet or farm table as a kitchen island, would look great in an shabby chic or French Country style kitchen. The top can be replaced with granite, marble or a butcher block countertop.
Also, after some additional changes, these pieces could be used as a bathroom vanity.

For a dining room, a Rococo Sofa could be reupholstered and used for seating.

Also, instead of purchasing an expensive bar cart, you could use a vintage buffet.

Backyard Decorating Ideas

After taking a long vacation, I am finally back and while the summer is almost gone, I just started searching for backyard decor ideas.
After buying our house, we did some major upgrades to it, however, we didn't make any changes to the backyard. I am really hoping that next year we'll start to tackle this project as well. Some of the major things I would like to have are a fireplace and an outdoor kitchen.

Since I live in Arizona, I can not have in my backyard some of my favorite flowers like peonies, hydrangea and wisteria. So, I have decided to plant citrus trees and bougainvillea.
Also,  having a herb garden is on my list.
