In need of some easy Halloween decorations? Make this Halloween bat flock with my tutorial and template.
Front Room Tour
Before our terrible accident I took photos of our front room to enter in Apartment Therapy’s Room for Color contest. I started putting together my entry, and then literally while I was in the hospital, I got Steven to finish writing it and submit it. Ironically, since we got home from the hospital, we’ve had […]
Lamp Makeover
Recently I was walking down the street in my neighborhood on my way to get brunch, and I came across this little lamp in a sidewalk free pile. As you can see from the “before” picture on the left, it wasn’t in great shape. But I liked the mix of marble, wood, and brass, so […]
Log Plant Stand
This summer we’ve had a lot of people come to visit and stay with us, which is usually a lot of fun but also tends to cut into my DIY project time. But this log plant stand is such a fast and easy project that I managed to finish it anyway. The steps were: 1) […]
Stencil Your Change Jar
You guys, I have a confession to make: For this project I stooped to petty larceny. I needed a large glass jar and didn’t happen to have any big enough, so on garbage day, I trolled the neighbors’ recycling bins for the perfect specimen. I found it just a few houses down, and now people […]
Bedroom Mood
Have you ever made a mood/idea board for a room? I never had, but lately we’ve been trying to figure out how to decorate our house, and I’ve gotten really into interior design blogs. One blog in particular that I love is Emily Henderson’s. She’s obviously an amazing designer, and has such a fun, relatable […]
Faux Shibori Pillows
Last week I told you guys about how I played around with bleach and denim for a faux shibori effect. This weekend I sewed my bleached denim into pillows. We have plenty of pillows in other rooms, so these are both destined for the master bedroom, I think. For the past couple of years we’ve […]
Quick DIY Triangle Plant Pots
Now that we’ve moved into a permanent home (Steven and I like to “joke” that we’re going to die in this house), I think my plant lady tendencies are coming into full force. Since I won’t be moving for the foreseeable future, I can have as many plants as I want! Within reason, of course. […]
Make a Faux Fur Stool with Hairpin Legs
Does this faux fur look familiar? It’s the same stuff I used to make a throw pillow recently. Since I had leftovers I decided to make it into a fancy faux fur stool, complete with hairpin legs. It was way easier than I thought it would be, and now I have the perfect glamorous fluffy […]
