Hello from Lady Nimue.  I'm a stay at home mother to three boys and part-time professional genealogy researcher living in Colorado.
I'm always in search of creative and innovative but classic design ideas.  When it comes to my living spaces I look for functionality first (how exactly do I want to use the room? and how can I make it convenient, organized and easy to maintain?) combined with a splash of bold 'surprise!' - a little fun & funk to go along with the durability of a classic, family friendly design.

Update to Dresser turned into Sideboard Buffet

By Nimue

 FINAL UPDATE BELOW!

Several months ago I posted about changing our old and very outdated dresser into a buffet.  I painted it black and it was much improved.  My original post is here.

hi Nimue, thanks for your comment on my post. The problem with putting all valances on same hight was because some valances were outside mount and some inside mount. And there is another part of room, which is not seen on picture: there another 3 windows, same pattern. 2 small and 1 big window.

Sometime it the customer wish to do it their way, so you have to listen what they want. I wish this customer ordered decorative pillows as well.

Hi LenkArt.  I'd love to see your pictures.  I'm learning that 'recycling' is fun and worthwhile!

I like to "reuse" and "redo" old things too. I will post later new pictures.
