As I flipped through my latest Elle Decor mag the other day, I got as far as the very first page, or the very last that is, and immediately set it down, got up, and started rummaging through my DIY supplies to find my little ball tassels to DIY my own version of the adorable …
A few weeks ago I bought this metal 2 Piece Crane Décor Set for $45 at Joss & Main to sort of satiate my Large Animal Statues & Figurines obsession {because I just can’t justify spending hundreds on one} in my Home Office Sitting Area. When they arrived, however, in opposite colors of how they …
The BEST recommendations come from friends, don’t they? ANNNNND bloggers, of course. The other day drollgirl sent me a link to these adorable dipped wooden bowls, planters, and more from Etsy shop Wind & Willow Home and I have gone back just to look at them {and decide whether I need them and can’t live …
A few months ago I found these pretty raised square serving bowls and thought they’d make a perfect home to a few of my already regrowing orchids. I used to keep all my orchids in their original pots, planted in their original plastic casing and was a bit afraid that if I replanted them, they’d …
I’m in the middle of renovating one of our guest rooms {which I’m excited to share with you very soon} and needed a new ceiling fixture to replace the standard gold and glass “boob” which reside in almost all of our upstairs bedrooms. But 1. I needed it FAST and 2. I didn’t want to …
Years ago, after we watched “What the Bleep {do we know?}” for the first time, we were instantly taken by Water Crystals and Dr. Masaru Emoto‘s studies on how our thoughts and feelings affect our reality, and specifically, how they affect water. And since “WE” are made up of mostly water, that our thoughts and …
I love when something can be used in so many ways, for so many purposes, and not just as fashion, but as decor as well. Scroll to the end to see how I’ve used and worn this fun and versatile {and sparkly} accessory. I mean, think of all the uses! How would you use/wear it? …
A few weeks ago, after what seemed like a never-ending decor battle with my console table design layout {I know, so dramatic}, I decided that the wall above it, which is part of it, needed something that was pretty enough to draw attention but not so much as to distract the eye. It seemed like …
So happy to share a recent feature in Sew Magazine {sewmag.co.uk} of my easy DIY Tassel Curtains in which I turned store-bought curtain panels into unique, custom drapes for very little extra cost. * Find my original DIY Here I quickly, easily, and loosely hand-stitched the tassel trim onto the inner edges just in case …
In 2005 my cousin Kelley gave birth to her first baby girl, Avery… and for her baby shower, I painted a simple pink “A” on a yellow canvas with a few little flower details, to hang in the nursery. Avery, now 7, still has her “A” hanging in her room, which makes me a happy …
I’m planning a little backyard BBQ party for the end of July which will extend into the evening and since our lighting is very minimal out there, I was looking for easy lighting ideas and found this awesome Hula Hoop chandelier DIY by Sara {image above}. The easiest and most efficient way to go about …
Just thought a fun little gathering would be all the more festive with customized dip dyed chopsticks! Especially because, it’s relatively free! But shhhh… don’t tell Ralph’s that I snatched a handful of “free with Sushi purchase” chopsticks! I was hoping the Chinese food delivery the night before would come stocked with chopsticks but they …
In the Fall of last year, I purchased two Mongolian Fur pillows for our game room (seen above). *our game room has changed a bit since then And now, just over a year later this is what they look like. Sad. Mangled. Miserable. Angry even. Granted, they are not best quality of Mongolian pillows nor …
What You’ll Need * 2 Large {squished} white pumpkins {I don’t know the actual name of these, do comment if you do!}, 2 medium/round pumpkins, a few small white pumpkins. I tend to buy a few extra pumpkins during Halloween that I don’t carve so I can use them through November for Thanksgiving. Spray painting …
Plaid Pigeon {as far as I know} was the originator of the adorable idea behind plastic toys turned succulent planters. My pink giraffe and hippo above are both Plaid Pigeon creations and I adore them. But it seems they’ve gone out of business which is trés sad because their idea was genius! No need to …
