Industrial Chic

So I do like some industrial decor things, as long as they’re softened down a bit. I also love to attempt, or think that I can make, things that are most likely out of my skill set, like say, beds made out of plumbing that probably require some welding and a ginormous saw of some kind.

What I’m confessing is that I am unrealistically optimistic when it comes to hand-crafting things. (Gotta love that can-do attitude though, right?)

So, with that preface, I could TOTALLY make these awesome beds

AND these chandeliers

    Oh yes! Those beds are cute and I could totally make those too! And then you could paint it gold! Loving the new site! And hiding the debit card because girl, you are making me want to shop!

    You know, those could all be made out of pvc piping (the beds would have to be attached to metal rails you can get at any furniture/mattress store). PVC doesn’t require welding, just special glue, and Home Depot would probably cut the pieces to size for you, then you can give it a metallic paint finish. So, it’s doable. Just thought I’d give some hope to your inspiration. :)
    You inspire me! I tend to want to tear apart my cottage-style house and go all funky modern after looking at pics you post! We live in a little old farmhouse, though, so that style wouldn’t go so well with our house. I’ll save it for when our kids move out and we move into a city loft condo or something. ha
