Before & After And A Request

If you love before & after photos of some really great decorating? If you are like me, then you do and you must check out Design Sponge Blog for all things before & after. I am in love with today's before & after of Angela's kitchen. Love it. Darker counter tops, like mine, yet all creamy white goodness everywhere else.

And now for the request:

My good friend, Lisa of Neurotic Needles has a request for everyone. Here is just a bit of what she posted:

"I have a project that I don't have the materials for. I think that used would be BETTER than new for this project and I would BET that you all have whet I need. I want the project to be a surprise but if you provide some materials for me, I will make you the project in return - how does that sound?

What I am looking for is old solid colored (or white) cotton or flannel sheets. Holes are fine. Threadbare is fine. Any part of the set is fine (meaning I don't need the set - any piece of the set works and you can get rid of any unmatched pieces too!). Now, I can use a pattern, but it will limit my creativity a bit and the item you get back may be a bit plain - albeit, still very usable."

I already stepped up and offered her my prettiest, softest flannel sheets and can't wait to see what she does with them. Lisa is so creative. She thinks up all kinds of wonderful ideas and then executes them to perfection. AND she is a Goddess at re-purposing. A Goddess I tell you and I don't say this lightly. If you have old, worn flannel sheets, send them to Lisa and you will be pleasantly surprised at what she comes up with.

Thanks for stopping by my blog and for becoming a follower! :) I need your knitting classes. If you look back at the blog post I wrote about Barnes and Noble you will see my embarassing attempt at learning to knit. But I won't give up-going to perservere. You have a lovely blog here. Erin :)

What a great remodel blog! I love before and afters. I just gave the Adobe Animal Shelter a CalKing set of cream flannel sheets. Either way they went to a good home. No more flannel here. I will ask around work.
