Try that dresser in another room. Dressers are one of the most versatile pieces of furniture, providing both display space and storage. Try using one in the entryway with mail on top, scarves and hats in the drawers below.

Or put one in the dining room to use as a buffet, with linens housed in the drawers. If you are a crafter, try painting your old dresser with chalkboard paint and keeping supplies organized by writing with chalk on the drawer fronts.

Pare down to form. Sometimes the best way to update an old shade is to pare it down. Literally strip off the paper or fabric from the shade, give it a new coat of paint and a soft bulb, and let the bones of the design shine.

Kitchen + a little paint = chalkboard fridge. If you have a bit of chalkboard paint left over from another project, I love the idea of using it to cover a boring fridge for an instant message board.
