Any lemons around your house? I have a few … a lemon is a spot or a thing that HAS to be there, but has “aesthetic” challenges … so now, do you have any lemons? An outlet in the middle of the wall, thermostat, fuse box, steam riser?
This is my kitchen lemon, a GIANT, white outlet, in the center of the wall over my bar cabinet, and under my beautifully accessorized (if I do say so myself) cookbook shelves …
This is my lemonade …
A fruit crate brought home from a Tuscan Market, yup that’s it! No more eyesore outlet …
Here are a bunch of great ideas for your lemons, and the rest of mine.
Exposed pipe in the living room? I have one in my bathroom … love this solution! Adding porch post to my flea market list.

Giant, ugly, air vents? Kelly at Eclectically Vintage made lemonade by using an Antique crib side rail and ribbons to cover it up. I love outside the box solutions …
