before & after

i find some kind of almost-perverse pleasure in this concept of before & after. actually, i think all humans do. i find it especially satisfying visually when it comes to interior design, which i have always loved. whenever i step into a room or see a random piece of furniture, i immediately start re-arranging it all in my head and imagine what i could do with the space/the piece/the material.

here's an example:

perfectly functional set of ikea drawers - who doesn't heart ikea?

but then - ta-daaah!!!

how cool is that! it just makes me all happy inside :)))

part ii coming in a bit...
