The other day after finishing up a sweater DIY I wanted a pretty hanger in which to display it on for the photo and quickly whipped this up in about five minutes. I’m sure it’s been done before, since it’s just so simple, but it was pretty enough to share and actually made a nice …
Every one of the rooms upstairs as well as the long slanted hallway in our home was fitted with ugly brass “boob” ceiling lights, typical of apartments and rentals. And in a rental, I don’t mind them so much, but in my home, I can’t stand them. I’ve replaced most of them with new pendants …

I was astounded when I first learned how easy it was to etch glass a few years ago and quickly bought a small bottle of etching cream to monogram everything I owned. And then it sat there amongst my DIY craft supplies for years unused. It wasn’t until I recently partnered with Ecco Domani and …
Today’s DIY is by Michele Redmon ~ And I love it! Can’t wait to try it! It’s ironic that I should be the one to do this project, since I was always so eager to leave my home state. But as Dorothy said, “There’s no place like home.” You can hate it, leave it, but …

In this project the pairing of plain terra cotta pots with accents of gold leafing gives us just that, with the perfect combination of rustic simplicity and glamour. In …
My home office sitting area is in constant flux. I originally purchased a few black velvet chairs for the space, but quickly realized they weren’t comfy/cozy enough for actually using them for what I wanted, though they looked nice. Luckily, when I bought them, I knew they’d also work in the master bedroom {which I’ve …
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 …
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 …
I’m not exactly sure what I’d use these for or where I’d hang them, but I love them. They’re probably best utilized at events but they’d be cute strung around a patio or deck or even together with little white lights or maybe hanging from a brown wood fence, or like beaded curteins to create …
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? …
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 …
It’s not the first I’ve seen of dip-diys, in fact, I posted about painted diy spoons a while ago, but I just LOVE this feature in the Sweet Paul Fall 2011 magazine called “So Dip It” that I had to share. It’s not only a ridiculously easy DIY that will transform just about anything you …
Normally I’d rather not rip off artists {…big corporations are fair game, lol} but artists work hard to make a buck and art is art. HOWEVER when I saw these shell and coral sculptural decorative art pieces on gold bases by Eduardo Garza for sale at GILT Home the other day priced between $600-$1500 each …
