budget-friendly projects from around the web.
Marcus Design
Dorothy Draper Hollywood Regency furniture pieces can easily
set you back thousands of dollars. But a trip to
IKEA can
garner you the materials to create a fabulous knockoff -- one that costs just a
little more than $30. Nancy from Marcus Design has step-by-step instructions to
transform an affordable, bland dresser into a gorgeous DIY showpiece.[Marcus

MacGyver may have met his match in
Ohdeedoh's Katie Steuernagle. With a few pieces of wood, vinyl strips and a
concrete form, she whipped up an amazing DIY nightstand. The
nailhead trim gives this DIY creation a high-end look -- for only $30! [Apartment

Want a
beautiful kitchen remodel without spending major cash? The key is to get
the most out of inexpensive materials. Take for example this sleek
kitchen island, which is crafted out of two-sandwiched IKEA cabinets
topped off with butcher-block. The soda-fountain stools were online finds that
were anchored into the floor. [DIY

Better Home & Gardens
Bookcases and storage cubes are simple pieces that can be converted into
custom furniture creations. Turn stackable storage cubes into
an entertainment center by screwing the cubes together and adding metal legs
(pictured left). For a floating store-and-serve buffet, use wall anchors and
mount bookcases horizontally (center). Also, you can transform a bookshelf
into a bench by adding a cozy cushion and wooden furniture feet (right). [Better

Nesting Place
Accent pieces don't have to be expensive to be
beautiful. Add instant style to a room with this dramatic DIY sunburst
mirror. Folded poster board, mirror and glue are the main materials
used to create the pretty display. [Nesting

Think you can't paint bathroom tile? Think again.

dated dandelion tiles with a modern, high-gloss finish. [Charles
