I love making over forgotten treasures from the thrift store. This little bear tea light used to be a random statue of a brown bear that no one wanted, now it's a sweet little piece of decor! Check out the before pictures and the how-to here.

I've been bitten by the remodeling bug. After redoing my guestroom, I couldn't leave the guest bathroom to sit sad and untouched. Inspired by my beach-themed watercolor painting and Pottery Barn's coral collection, I stocked up on some sea life items and brightened up the bathing spot. In just a few hours, I pumped a little personality into a rather plain room that will hopefully have my family and friends feeling right at home.
Come check out the modest update that cost me less than $65.
Every pink slip has a silver lining, as long as you're Dutch. Unemployed women in the Netherlands are being given makeovers worth almost $1,700 — and the government is paying for them. I could get on board with this if the "makeovers" included interview lessons, a beautiful suit to make you look your best with prospective employers, and makeup and hair tips designed to help you put your best face forward when you're job hunting.
Unfortunately, though, the plan's stated purpose isn't nearly that empowering. Instead, the program is designed to help women find a new man instead of a new job. That's right, job seekers are being given makeovers, clothes, and life coaching in an effort to find them a "solvent husband." Why, that's almost as crazy as putting women in windows as though they were objects for sale. (Oh, wait.) If you were Dutch, would you protest or embrace this idea?
