DIY: Dining Room Storage

You know how much I enjoy a creative concealment! This elegant cover-up from Southern Living cleverly hides whatever stuff you want to stash! Perfect for rooms where you need some extra storage, but don’t have the “right” piece of furniture. Creative concealment to the rescue, once again!

    That is so FUNctional! I love the elegance it lends to the room. You could take a particularly non-aesthetically pleasing piece of furniture and turn it into a decorating focal point! Great idea!

    Awesome idea! You could use any buffet or hutch with space underneath.

    This could work even if you have zero carpentry skills, couldn’t it? I mean, go the old dorm-room route with bricks and boards. I can sew…I can make the “skirt”…but I couldn’t drive a nail or cut a board to save my soul. Bricks and boards on the other hand…I can shape them to my will. Oh, my goodness, I’m inspired.

    I love how you can take something simple and decorate it with lovely fabric, and you then have a marvelous creation. Fire up the power tools, it’s time to create something!!!!

    Pretty, but would never go in my home! It would soon become the new “cat cave” & I would need to invest in new crystal after the big fuzzy kitties made room for themselves by toppling it off the shelves!

    Melissa, I just took the tour of your beach house! What a beautiful spot and I can imagine it was gorgeous by the time of the wedding. That is about the time I started reading your blog. I love these photos in this post too. Wat a great idea to paint a pumpkin with stencil. Love that idea and the lacy look it produced. Your posts are so inspirational. Thanks for sharing!
