Clever: yardstick buffet

Today I continue to be operating from my persnickety laptop as apparently the "virus" that got after my desktop computer was one nasty infection. Top that off with the fact that the guy who was working on it has Mondays off!!!! Now I don't mind a fella having a day off, but aren't you supposed to get your work done before you take time off?!!!!! So who knows when I'll have my computer back.... In a way this isn't a bad thing since it gets me off the computer and on to other things, but it's not good for my posting. Please bear with me, because hopefully by the end of the week, I'll have an update on the kitchen I've been working on as well as a couple of other little "Casa Wall" home improvement items to share. 

Today I leave you with this clever buffet transformation which I found at Sew Dang Cute, where there are 9 great projects created from up-cycled materials.  This buffet by Laura at Corner House blog really caught my eye for it's "industrial" look and the fact that it was transformed using readily available materials.  I want one in my foyer!  Sorry no links....  : - (  but it is worth the google search to check out the cleverness of all of these projects at Sew Dang Cute as well as the tutorial for the yardstick buffet at Corner House!!!!!
See you all back here tomorrow, I'm sure I'll have some little nugget for you, even if it is just something I find "clever!"

Does your room need a “prescription” for a change of decor, function or design? 
If so please contact me, I would love to help your room feel better with a Design Concept Board or a complete Room Rx.

    This I have seen before and think it such a phenomenal piece.

    How cool! Not to mention I love that lamp and ampersand too - metals and woods are a great combo.

    I am sorry to hear your computer has a virus, so frustrating! Good luck getting it fixed. What a fun piece, it is so quirky and unexpected. Love the lamp and the ampersand too.

    Thanks for the feature. I am glad you like my buffet. Sorry to hear about your computer. Having a sick computer is worse than having a sick kid. If anyone wants to see the tutorial for this, here is the link.
