What is your favorite area in your home and why?
"My name is Carmeon Hamilton and I'm a designer out of Memphis, TN. I'm and avid follower of Made By Girl, and today I'm happy to share my fave space with all of you! I share a decent sized apartment with my hubs and 4 year old son. We're on the tightest of budgets so 95% of our furniture has been from a thrift/consignment/antique/junk shop or was created by my own hands.
Seriously, our biggest splurge was our IKEA Kivik sofa & chase. I built the parson's style bookshelf and navy blue dining table all by myself. Here is the link to the DIY I did, I think you'll love it! I love for the thrill of a good find, but if I can't find what I want, I create it!"

Just because I KNOW I'm not the only one to wonder (and do myself!) here is the link to her blog post detailing making that awesome bookshelf:

I'm considering using all vintage/thrift/flea finds in my place. The reworking and DIY is pretty intimidating, but I love how this is put together. Just the boost of inspiration I needed!
ReplyDeletethanks for posting!
