Foreign Service Furniture! Yikes!

Here are some things to do with your cookie-cutter furniture! Doesn't it get old going over to someone's house and seeing the same bookcases? For people that are not in the foreign service, these are just general ideas to change it up.  Remember:  Change is good!


Lay your bookshelves on their sides to get a new piece! Great cubby holes.  I'm looking for baskets to put in the bottom ones! Will post pictures when I have those.


I covered with a long piece of burlap cloth for a little flavor. (and to cover up the bottom of the bookcases).

I'm not a fan of hutches in general.  Make yours unique with artwork instead of glasswork! :)


Yuck! That's all I have to say about this table. If I could DIY this government owned furniture I would definitely re-finish it, but I can't.
Put four together to make one larger unique table! Hide those nasty gold drawer handles on the interior of the square.



NEXT:  I'd like to use bookcases to make long benches/seats with homemade cushions on top. And add custom cubby buckets in the bottom for shoes and odds and ends.  Will work on this, but don't know if I have the space here.  Maybe next post!
