Ikea Small Kitchen Ideas: Weekend

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Want to give your home a mini makeover in a weekend? Check out these simple decorating projects for inspiration. I hope that you will find it useful for you ... Enjoy it !!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj31znRagtiSJuXaNA_daQSSYNWn1vOkrNqirsW9wNdqfLVkOOMOaXcDstdp4MN64gGGyQjJtt3EoCMsEMH_IyVrnzd9rQJbOs7FchLgPPekT2hUkFycmJQR0BKmclU9vb1v5cckRt0M4o/s640/Easy-Weekend-Home-Decorating-Projects-Summer-2013-Ideas.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">While a fresh coat of colorful paint can revive a piece of furniture, you can take it a step further by adding pattern, too. Use paint pens to draw designs on drawer fronts, tabletops, and more. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigUwlyDLSiCdBmGncD6G8_gnlOVRrgAaUnxvlYBxl2Ao_7IeMqrt5dlXqmGAZbJtGzyvMIzuUlwv-ttDlwmE7H3l1EoqsWhxxWJDuYHl4pIgTIZ7oyxS6A60kkQyDdFYxr_n-H1C0MvgE/s640/Easy-Weekend-Home-Decorating-Projects-Summer-2013-Ideas-2.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Craft a simple entryway table from logs. Simply prop table height sections of logs against a wall. Apply a clear coat to the logs to seal the wood. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR-0HfT-KfzvygKYSxVCoyIXUTi7Su6TCnzh53N_FTrswz1wZHIJYQ-9trbRvY4WbERkkOF9n1tLtPidahruMkkZ_CvIUv11Z07O4b8SweReAcKrf2GwNTPtNGFvUELErZJEJ2a6p-a9E/s640/Easy-Weekend-Home-Decorating-Projects-Summer-2013-Ideas-3.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Secondhand stores and flea markets are often chock full of artwork. While the art may not be up your style alley, if the frames catch your eye, you have the makings of an art display you'll love. Simply discard the art and paint the frames fun colors that match your decor. Arrange the ensemble on a blank wall. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf80uLtOcvn7IVZOYqxUhydzBWc3EEFKsfMtaQ7dXr0XYUkq0urn4ztcLvWB9Kv3OrARwZMgaFZeygbSLpweaZ_UAUw4V2KJug2YWH5S74ZQ6_cYshcXW4KUC9EskjBmAJ_iywErduwyY/s640/Easy-Weekend-Home-Decorating-Projects-Summer-2013-Ideas-4.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Give a plain lampshade a watercolor makeover. Moisten a large paintbrush with water, and sweep a wavelike pattern around the bottom of the shade. Tap wet paint into the pattern with a soft, round watercolor brush. (Use watercolor paint for paper lampshades and fabric paint for fabric shades.) The paint will bleed to the edges of the moistened area. After the paint dries, dot the wave with more paint in alternating colors. For dots that blend, paint them with edges touching. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqyw51c4wnVFnHo_lzED9SeiohSBhOADofFee3lwygDfryaXEWdulwc_kY7O_eKzk19DL59ScuxZq_7ABhDA1mmtuwhk4WJtfEV3y_SqbSBWo-2n2z4kKrSzCLbY0hr0rb_soSzbsoPpU/s640/Easy-Weekend-Home-Decorating-Projects-Summer-2013-Ideas-5.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Go global with your planters. Carefully cut an old globe in half with a utility knife. (Ours was coming apart at the equator, which made it easier to split.) Lift the base with plastic, and fill with soil and plants. Rest the globe on a plant stand or in a drainage dish to keep it upright. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRq3DqxtlaRnurKWyAH64SHEVxfexNNZyFwSCoCbrxUOy3t5fBXrHmniBq0z8zuDK60zC3Jy0gMFdOqKMGRHLlksByl10GQzF0_qItt14sOOw9whsJ7IdMG7vK5EFzETRkx2fT0VAaUKI/s640/Easy-Weekend-Home-Decorating-Projects-Summer-2013-Ideas-6.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Marbleizing is hot, and it's an easy DIY technique. For these canvases, we marbleized paper, then scanned it and sent the designs to a print center to be printed on canvases. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYnaKJarCUwgsyW0rD0alNpeGLRnvoij12QHqiWNys279CzkRzH_gEG4TijiYOD5s4x8X-vRTXsQXaRUusIp0mIqJeLZB9eVm9f4FfdyXACVLxOEzLFEYrrh3Q2zIatQt-d6xxoS99FOM/s640/Easy-Weekend-Home-Decorating-Projects-Summer-2013-Ideas-7.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Rescue thrift store frames with white paint and punchy paper. Paint the frames white and showcase pretty papers inside the frames. Choose coordinating patterns in different scales (small prints and large prints) to create a balanced look. Let the paper be the star, or top it with a wooden letter, a photo, or any object you love. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCsnwV0L4OLAASGdqdRjhbDHIQJ1iyISMzcen7g6LHsA8wTXTIwHECXGEMWnQQiy8_KUOmd6RxxR-BzLj4RZ2Y9RcMTrISs7Ma_B8WfUXaJZytT7XqNhveMJ1206OqcPg6NNjlgHKNMT0/s640/Easy-Weekend-Home-Decorating-Projects-Summer-2013-Ideas-8.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Add extra seating or a footrest to any room with a pretty pouf. Poufs can be pricey in stores, but this DIY version can be made for about $50 with our step by step instructions and free pattern. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTMdHTvETUbGc8HjCJxgUtpb37YzbgbX3FsCnY5A4hqYibkEN73YYweqCcvSbcAqJfcmHP7l5huHYS-OdxqEMNtAj2nckPW82v9RjE5mhkHCG9e0ocG97LooxG7Z4n2BzOb_XRMdTLjUY/s640/Easy-Weekend-Home-Decorating-Projects-Summer-2013-Ideas-9.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Give a favorite photo prime placement in a room. Enlarge the photo and place it in an oversize frame. Surrounded by a crisp white mat and striking black frame, this textural photo of peonies commands attention. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSdMcA23l6Y0Mdepn78VyYExp00wZ5inoIZ6eVWmhEg51RnnTj-tIbOvCvHjXd6YfKTyArSW_VyHgXXMs54y32bdXQjjHn6ZMBcz9WrvJhrbuz3aLg53GVuxSbb3T60M9nihmdUYJVy1g/s640/Easy-Weekend-Home-Decorating-Projects-Summer-2013-Ideas-10.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Give a lamp a one two punch of shine with ribbon and spray paint. Coat the base in a metallic-finish spray paint, and wrap shiny satin ribbon around the shade, securing in place with hot glue or pins. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdEKW0F_e_ZEjghZMfDqNvl6bOAZl0Y7cvTDAspvq1nQWxcbIWbjH5ek6TC9QrotkTmUmklXaYMM7bWzKITi9hsTZiiotWwQ6CVlB1UHvC2mFqBa5nT0SBCSt3WdaHcDtLr0tvVD2i1JM/s640/Easy-Weekend-Home-Decorating-Projects-Summer-2013-Ideas-11.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Look at everyday items as potential masterpieces. Take photographs of a few interesting objects, and adjust the exposure, saturation, and color with a photo editing program. Order large prints, and frame them on black mats in white frames. A black-and-white display like this looks sleek against a white wall but would also look chic hanging on a wall painted with a saturated hue. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWTARXItlKq6QNfLQshuQPNWcDvjnFEjmAO0hPjPYLZ5liTFODNcwg0yuIiJZkRP2AHzhdX69X93j2h5uV7AZQxOPN3Q06fjhsy8PIdf7pklS6_4VVigzVUH0dSU7k8xNQgUNIotBHYU0/s640/Easy-Weekend-Home-Decorating-Projects-Summer-2013-Ideas-12.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Rethink how you use curtain rods and plates to create a pretty wall display. Mount a curtain rod on a wall, and hang plates with ribbons woven through the pierced designs on the edges. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihxM7vPBlBN-sUJ1QEamdsu-UtzyHt9BenFMJwQgGrgVbN6lqmWzFvI-3yeRDbq5Ww7lAOUUrEhgOf34vEVQaYT6orKaljMhIZ2It63FRKzVa1h8b1WzvJZ2TklMmy_iSKL3fZjHImdaE/s640/Easy-Weekend-Home-Decorating-Projects-Summer-2013-Ideas-13.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Dress a dresser with a large poster to give a plain piece punch. Prep the dresser front with a coat of primer and let dry. Measure the width and height of the chest, including the legs. Trim the artwork to size, making sure the design falls where you want it to. Cut out the pieces that will go on the legs (you'll apply them separately). Remove drawers and adhere the artwork to the dresser front using spray adhesive. Press the artwork to the dresser, starting at one edge and working your way across the piece. Let dry. Trim the paper along the drawer openings. Spray the drawers with adhesive, and apply the artwork to the drawer fronts. Trim and place the leg pieces on the dresser. Use a nail to poke the knob holes through the paper, and add decorative knobs. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk4mjtq6Rorn36xbk6FG7XoadS8QeF758TPerK8AHqkGk8I6rBOKbRFpT9l6f1B8Vh_b6tjJzzOPya15ocurfbj88kn5uXmcJKewyxKCWACroD1VGXes3Pra10ZyALNYmZazhLeebAMSY/s640/Easy-Weekend-Home-Decorating-Projects-Summer-2013-Ideas-14.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Accent plain roller shades with fabric. Have a retailer cut the shades to fit your windows. For each shade, remove the weight from the bottom pocket. Cut fusible web to fit the width of the shade, and iron it onto the back of fabric. Cut out the fabric and iron it into place on the shade. Spray-paint a cafe curtain rod, and insert it into the bottom pocket. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDZVkcTwu3cfkT_X_M1v8LJJ6jrXMK3_8Khwj7x8VYgfD0K7u15aSpiara2PakMfrxk6YqOX3ubisPcG3msA5RmB94zAkBBQuV0DjFqQbmErDSqi1vbxTZjpPM7f7SD9kAeqFAZpbSsvM/s640/Easy-Weekend-Home-Decorating-Projects-Summer-2013-Ideas-15.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Add unique flair to a basic arrangement of photos with a tree motif. Achieve the silhouette with a wall decal, a stencil, or freehand painting. Hang family pictures in the "branches" for a whimsical look. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div>

The smallest room in the house shouldn't fall short on style. Take your bathroom from outdated to up-to-date in just two days with these makeover ideas.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6j3ztn3oWhyocCGQMJn4x4ollR9cgCb9Yab4p-Mp5GOa2qik9EmX8_-QQas6PgTt3HULYP8f_iDhtTu_C-vvcCsLdrsaQA8dBHcsFutoADyKcgY3eI74jzWWGYRoAxh1HDDt7BcAb/s640/ideas-Weekend-Bathroom-Refreshes-2012-4.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Pink and Green Style</span> </b></span></div><br />The pedestal sink, floor and wall tile, and bathtub were all keepers in this 1929 bathroom. The homeowners incorporated modern function with a wall-mount shower and a new faucet reminiscent of the original with cross-handle fixtures. New tile installed behind the faucet nearly matches the old pieces, and pink-and-white wallpaper complements the tones of the existing mosaic floor. Changing the window blinds to shutters and replacing an old light fixture and wall mirror with a new pair in satin nickel add impact with minimal effort. A petite green Windsor chair and a colorful bath mat and towels complete the look.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS9APWm1dnMPJAa_9yVEAiWnODxaHB43BKr1qnQ-q0z5uAQOVUK1zBSC7LqJrLoTN5ismeoSYtpMFX8Co6Fnvn5JpPiBQxglR_XNBkETUA2I0ypnM_sphOhaBLGkVkEKCDmj7aHP7K/s640/ideas-Weekend-Bathroom-Refreshes-2012-3.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b> <span class="heading2">Charming Country Bathroom</span> </b></span></div><br />This bathroom gets a fresh farmhouse look from, a new pedestal sink, open storage shelves, sunny yellow accents, and solid-surfacing panels that resemble beaded-board wainscoting. The new pedestal sink with a wide rim opens up floor space, while a vintage-style recessed medicine cabinet provides storage.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhp5ziN27bdNgskELwWCstjlKJqlGHbK6LpRUv8aNut4A0RKsrYMgydAmSUilgl5pVKcevfcaEiPx5WAymWBv1cZCxwyP4bRl6tLI7Tq_ENN6FwG_nuKXjI_I_pxy1ghkLJsy0Phyphenhyphenr/s640/ideas-Weekend-Bathroom-Refreshes-2012-2.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Clever Fabric Uses</span></b></span></div><br />Multiple shower curtains hung on a curved rod protect the wall and window behind the bathtub and shower area. White subway tile picks up in the shower stall where the beaded board look-alike ends. Repurposed fabric softens the space. The shower curtains are actually window panels outfitted with grommets. The cafe curtains were fashioned using tea towels, a curtain rod, and clip rings. With no room for a traditional towel bar, a double hook with glass finials stands in next to the shower.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPo0fvkueg6Bqp8suPHs5jOy6J36VKQqlaZD_QFFhwHA9l8ucEIy_AWjPuR5gyLFRKoVFsPdmInxDei1ajLnTzcPX3z16ixLvsKAW9I5O4fyZ8_s6tP1hJAkxdzeUc5AuhfuqAqqyb/s640/ideas-Weekend-Bathroom-Refreshes-2012.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Savvy Storage</span></b></span></div>Metal pots and bowls hold toiletries. These clever storage solutions add country charm to the bathroom.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqkmlUNXo9AT7DBNoUb79QhGwlTb3GdYWtDPeSpyL7xa62mK-Qdx1xIb-9VcICfX3vNersFJYBxmQJkcxV6a9IrAUOhn_i93jHbWzPDZouHn_2po7fR8b9k6N81dOrzqrLcPyDx6wA/s640/ideas-Weekend-Bathroom-Refreshes-2012-5.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Bright White Vanity</span></b></span></div><br />Updated to coordinate with the tub and toilet, the old oak vanity now looks more like a sophisticated dresser thanks to a few coats of white paint. A new countertop, sink, faucet, and hardware add to the makeover. Above the vanity are a pair of brushed nickel sconces and a medicine cabinet. On the wall, beach scenes bring together all the colors in the bathroom.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAyXQszfYCohtoW3Au6jX3d1qoGVWBU8xk4wbt7nmpnBmhQjmd0bCTQtVoQIuZmvyjP-DzI4kkWwRbAnc8P6aWiSLj0a3fmTaFqV1rFZMn5zOwnyC__i6YJt4R_pKujmB6jhx-W2Aj/s640/ideas-Weekend-Bathroom-Refreshes-2012-6.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Versatile Accents</span></b></span></div><br />A wooden stool with a woven top serves many functions in this bathroom. It adds texture and plays off the room's beach-theme. It also offers a spot to place towels for easy access from the bathtub and a place to sit. In a small space, it's important to choose versatile pieces.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKwnIqItdBdL-W68jic3pAUtzWaMaosoICocuae15MRjkPKpIb3AzU53_u7euYBftifbzF4ygF6ip__OSBjI1EvMhISc37JHQAxOxn8jfsFTwnJMx2lyoqoXi2Wfl7hc8giuEtmQEB/s640/ideas-Weekend-Bathroom-Refreshes-2012-7.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Beachy Bathroom Oasis</span></b></span></div><br />The first step in the bathroom's transformation was painting the walls a watery blue. Next, serene fabric choices, such as the cream-color cotton window shade and striped shower curtains, tie together the colors of the tiles and walls. A wooden coatrack adds storage by providing a handy spot to hang towels and robes. These elements work together to highlight the original claw-foot bathtub.
