d*s reader erin riddle sent in this lovely laundry sink makeover. when erin moved into her home she used this space as a storage space for tools and cleaning supplies, but erin wanted a space that would serve as a cute spot to work on laundry. working on a budget, erin took off the cabinet doors, sewed curtains to the front (hung on a basic rod) and painted the formica in a black melamine paint. the pegboard was swapped for hanging storage buckets and a light was painted white and brought over to gvie the corrner some warmth. the difference is really fantastic and is such a great reminder that a cuter room is only a few weekend days of handiwork away. thanks for sharing, erin!

today’s first before & after comes from d*s reader andrea dean in the uk. she recently made over her bathroom on a tight budget and the result is a clean, bright space that would do any modern apartment justice. great work, andrea! photos courtesy of david giles photography.

this gorgeous chair makeover comes from graphic designer turned upholsterer hannah stanton. based in london, hannah decided to move away from graphic design to focus on her love of renovating furniture. she decided to fix up a pair of reproduction louis chairs for her friend’s apartment using ‘etchings and roses’ fabric from sanderson. the frame was repaired and repainted and is now ready to find a new home. great work, hannah!
