… and I can not lie You other sisters can’t deny That when books are read, instead of going to waste They gladly fill your space… They get hung… … and bent, and color-coaded, and what not… Don’t judge my rapping abilities (Unless you are Sir Mix-a-lot! ). Hopefully my sense of home decoration style […]
As of yesterday, thanks to my friend Sara, I’m a very proud owner of …um… a very old door. And it’s not even attached to anything. From somebody’s house trash pile to my bedroom – for free. Perfect. I’m planning on making a headboard out of it. I don’t know when I can get to […]
This is a story of a long journey of one ugly duckling lamp. The Lamp began it’s existence what looks like forever ago. Quite possibly in times of your grandma’s youth. Its shade had, in addition to a burnt spot on the soul inside, questionable leaf-y cut-outs on the face outside. The lamp, once youthful […]
Operation “Organization” is proving to be more and more fruitful. I not only declutter the house, but also find old things to reuse for something new. First it was a grandma dress turned crop top. Then I found this shirt hubby didn’t want any more. I loved the color of this shirt and thought it […]
Crop tops are everywhere these days… And even though I’m not a fan of showing off my belly, I decided to jump on the bandwagon and get myself one of those… (It can always be worn with a tank underneath.) I was set on buying one at Forever 21, but during my Operation “Organization” I […]
One of the greatest things about having this blog is that I get to have conversations about home decor with others. I love getting inspired by other people’s thoughts and projects, brainstorm ideas, and often steal those ideas:) I love sharing the acquired knowledge and creativity with you and hopefully I give proper credit to […]
Here is another project of Mindy’s, which I’m definitely going to steal if I may:) Have you thought of using tablecloth for furniture makeover? Me neither… Again, let Mindy do the talking. I took a free bookshelf someone was throwing away, rolled the bookshelf about three times with primer (let dry an hour in between), […]
This is an oldie, but a goodie. I made this piece a couple of years ago and Cali @ Home Awaits even featured it here. I thought I would share it with you anyways, because if you don’t see it the world will end. So, here are the directions on how to get from this […]
Last Saturday, Kirbylicious and I spent all day shopping. Bliss! Our first stop (after Panera of course) was at Plato’s closet. I love that place and I think it’s genius! In addition to 2 pairs of brand new shows for $8 and a few cute shirts, I also purchased this dress. I love the colors […]
I had a long breakfast with a friend today, cleaned my whole house, went on a long run, and then I decided to do something productive:). I’ve been itching to buy a jewelry organizer, but haven’t gotten around to it yet. So I decided to make one myself. It’s nothing compared to this beautiful baby, […]
