wait.. an upcycled... cow?

Yep. It's the planter nobody ever knew they needed to have in their life!

picture-perfect is just another word for boring || sideboard becomes bench

uhg, I feel guilty for leaving you alone! There were probably some very good reasons for not finding the time to write some blogs, but I can't remember them at the moment, so I just feel guilty. So guilty, that I actually gave up my little lunchtime-stroll to write you the long-promised post about my little bench!

Remember how I told you about how I upcycled one of the sideboards that was left in our kitchen?  Well, that was not the only sideboard left behind by the previous owners. Enter sideboard number two:

That one!
(thank you real estate agent for taking all the pictures that I forgot to take!)

That first sideboard may have been a nightmare to remove, but this one was even worse. It was attached to the wall with a thousand screws, and I literally had to break it in pieces to remove it from the wall.

Sometimes making something beautiful just means discovering it: looking different at your surrounding and suddenly seeing the beauty of it. This is why (and when) I love photography: because it is able to capture the beauty of things that are not trying to be beautiful. They just are. 

In this post some of my own discoveries of beauty. I hope you enjoy!
