Light as a Feather… …stiff as a board. Last week during the snow storm when I was wild with stress and anxiety, I busied myself by making these pretty pressed pastel feather bookmarks and I honestly can’t get enough of them! THEY’RE SO PRETTY! Really, truly prettier in real life, as the camera can’t really …
This was a sort of last minute DIY because this quarantine finally gave us the time we needed to wallpaper the guest bathroom and give it a little makeover ANNNND I needed something on the wall that was textured and circular and a little funky with a pop of color… and then I thought that …
Inspired by this pretty furry bracelet/cuff by Edaisyt I found on Pinterest, I thought I’d make my own… but with feathers. I had a little section of leftover feather trim from The Feather Place after making my DIY Feather Pendant Canopy which is still above my bed in the master, and thought I’d give it …
Bling Keychains and Pom Bag Charms are EVERYWHERE right now, and they are A-DOR-A-BLE… but ultimately wildly expensive! I’m guessing it’s because many of them are made with real fur {yikes!} but I think the trend actually originated with Fendi and Lagerfeld and took a few years to catch on. That said, I’m seeing them …
After I made my DIY Glam Feather Canopy for our master bedroom, my cousin Kelley texted me asking about making one that was a little more affordable and kid-friendly for her daughter, Avery, my Goddaughter, who is nine years old now. I immediately thought of feather boas, since you can get them at your local …
Our Master Bedroom in this house is quite large, making it a bit difficult to decorate, and seemingly taking forever. When we moved in, I knew what pieces from our old house/living & dining room, would be repurposed for the space, giving it a glam feel, and painted the walls a medium gray. One of …
Totally inspired by a kid’s Fall fashion editorial {see more here: Little Punks! Cute Fall Looks for Kids it’s the last photo} who had faux feather mohawks adorning their heads, I got busy thinking about how I could replicate the look and how on earth I could get it to stand upright on my head …
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 …
Oh the D&G Winter 2012 runway show was so bright and cheery and FUN! I loved their adorable AND UBER FLUFFY ostrich feather skirts in every color of the rainbow …and of course I couldn’t help but see them as potential DIYs!Just like my feather skirt DIY, if you have nice thick boas and carefully …
Do you remember the black feather wreath I hung on the front door as part of our Halloween decor? {click here for a refresher} …well the other day as I was pondering light fixtures for our dining room {we have a boring, boob-like, ceiling fixture} I randomly held the feather wreath around the base of …
I gladly accepted New York Design Shop’s Create Couture DIY Blogger Challenge who then sent me & 9 other DIYers a box of goodies to get creative with and this is one of mine. * about 20″ of feather fringe {depending on ankle size}* satin ribbon* needle & thread * wearing the shoes you want …

Notes: * I cut off the knots on the ends of the boas …but I try to avoid cutting them anywhere else because the feathers will start to unravel.* I did this first to a dress years ago and left the feathers a bit fluffier.* Feather boas make a great base because they are already …
I am definitely not the first or the second or probably even the 5th person to do DIY shoulder pads …but it doesn’t mean I didn’t want to DIY my own version. And while they are a bit daring, I am kind of in love with them. I haven’t found a great and removable way …
Even though this DIY didn’t turn out as great as originally thought, the idea is great and I think paired with a cute notebook would make a great gift. Even if I never use it, I’ll get to enjoy the peacock feathers on my desk in my pen jar …and that’s enough for me. Lol. …
