Giveaway-Eavesdropper: Overheard on the Streets

Leave a comment in today’s post by January 15th, 2016 and you are in the running for this awesomely funny and artistic book.

Open to U.S. Residents only please.

This is not a craft book but if you are into HAND LETTERING I bet you will love it as much as I do for the way the quotes are written. Pop on over to my review on Amazon to see a little flip through the book.

Walk around New York, and you’ll hear the most incredible things—at least that’s what art director Mete Erdogan discovered. So Erdogan took these funny, outrageous, and embarrassing snippets—which he overheard on the street, in stores, in elevators, everywhere—and turned them into unique illustrated pieces that instantly became an Instagram sensation. Here’s a collection of 100 favorites from his 365-day project (which consisted of a drawing a day) that will leave readers laughing . . . and scratching their heads.

    I enjoy reading books that are a little off the beaten path, so to speak. My Husband also says that I have a “warped” sense of humor, so this book should be right up my alley!! To have the drawings in the book are an added plus!! Thank you for the chance at winning it, and have a great 2016!!!

    Hi, Happy New Year. This book is so funny and different I would love to have it. It would make a great coffee table book. I love going to the mall and just listen to what people are saying some of the things I hear are funny but some are sad. I also like hand lettering. Thanks for a chance.

Transforming an IKEA Shelf into a Rustic Farmhouse Beauty

Looking to add some rustic charm to your space without breaking the bank? Donna from Funky Junk Interiors has shared a brilliant DIY hack that turns a standard IKEA storage shelf into a stunning farmhouse-style piece.

Donna started with the basic IKEA HENJNE shelving unit, which is functional but lacks character. To infuse it with rustic appeal, she stained the wood to deepen its tone and added vintage baskets and a stenciled crate labeled “Pure Cane Sugar” for a nostalgic touch. This clever combination not only enhanced the shelf’s aesthetic but also increased its storage capacity, making it both beautiful and practical.?

This project is a perfect example of how a little creativity can transform everyday furniture into something special. By incorporating vintage elements and a touch of DIY flair, Donna elevated a simple storage unit into a statement piece that complements various interior styles, from farmhouse to industrial.?

If you’re looking for an easy and affordable way to upgrade your home decor, this IKEA hack is a fantastic option. With just a few materials and some elbow grease, you can create a unique piece that adds character and functionality to your space.?
