With an influx of styles reminiscent of the ’70s, ’90s, as well as a return of the bohemian flair in all things decor, rocks, crystals, and gemstones are rather trendy at the moment. But they’re also really expensive. If you want the look for decor purposes and not so much for the healing quality of …

When I was cleaning out the Reading Room a few weeks ago, I found my stockpile of cute doggy t-shirts I used to make and realized the boys were just the right size for them… well, Trevor’s is a bit too big, but close enough. Back in 2003, I’d mostly made girly T’s with sweet …
I don’t know about you, but Mother’s Day completely snuck up on me this year! I can’t believe it’s this weekend! I think maybe if I was a mom myself, I’d be more aware of it, but alas, I am only a mama to puppies… which is good enough for me! But in case you …

They are just so pretty and so clever and if you have access to sea glass, driftwood, & transparent nylon thread, a rather easy DIY as well. I’m not into taking money …

Perhaps it had something to do with being raised in a very conservative, religious family where modesty was emphasized as a key to female purity and in turn, value. In contrast the magazines I read and trends I tried to follow …
When I was about 19 years old, about one hundred years ago, I bought this vintage red silk duvet cover beautifully embroidered with flowers and birds from a friend who was an antique dealer for about $100. He said he was giving me a deal because this particular duvet cover once belonged to Billy Idol. …

by guest contributor Paisley Hansen Vintage and antique furniture often work well with items from other periods and and modern decades. Built using quality lumber and fasteners, they are a good investment. However, those treasures from the past might look a little tired and faded. Refinishing can bring back their beauty or add a new …
I’m loving this bright royal blue on my nails lately. It really pops whether you’re pale or tan, and is a fun spring/summer color. This isn’t really a tutorial, but I added a an off-center stripe in monochromatic blue glitter to give them a little more pizazz. * Title: Lorde “Royals” Here’s What I Used… …
