FOR YOUR HOME
Covering a box with wrapping paper is nothing new, but attaching a metallic handle is certainly a lovely addition! And when the box is actually an old shoe box, that is certainly a transformation! My new storage boxes look super cute on the shelf and they’re so convenient ~ I can now organize any smaller… Continue Reading
These cute little pumpkins of mine are one of a kind! They’re entirely covered with moss and look absolutely natural. A few twine strips run from top to bottom to form the ridges that give them a clear pumpkin shape. You can mix them with some natural pumpkins in a basket to give a rustic feel. Alternatively, combine them with… Continue Reading
Our little entryway has been much more functional since I made a couple of small additions to the space: I added a cute étagère that I found online (for free!) and a mirror that made this small and darker part of the house feel more open and bright (check out all the updates, here). In that same entryway, there is one more wall, and… Continue Reading
The house we’re renting is lacking a mudroom. As you enter the house from the garage, the laundry room is to the left and the guest room is right across. If I were to place some furniture, it would have to be 8 inches wide because that’s exactly the space between the side of the laundry… Continue Reading
Unless my calendar marks “September”, my mood will remain in summer mode, no matter what. Today is August 19, so that gives me just enough time for some last minute, easy summer DIY with all the beach treasures I brought back from Greece. The truth is that I haven’t done much in the house because we’ve… Continue Reading
If you’ve ever visited Greece, I’m sure you didn’t come back home “empty-suitcased”! I can think of hundreds of items that are worth bringing back, starting from souvenirs for friends and folklore objects for the home, to silver items at starting prices that anyone can afford but also jewelry from world famous makers, even leather goods such as shoes and… Continue Reading
It has been so (happily!) busy between friends, family and a few seaside escapes that time flew by so fast over the last weeks in Greece. I had a few projects in mind for our Athens apartment, but honestly, is it even worth spending time on cosmetic changes that will lead to more cosmetic changes if… Continue Reading
We’ve been in Greece for the last couple of weeks spending time with our family, friends, enjoying the beautiful weather, the beaches and, of course, amazing food. But before leaving our home in the San Francisco Bay Area, I spent some time making sure that I would leave the house tidy. When putting away the… Continue Reading
Even though I’m in Greece right now and I’ll be spending the next few weeks visiting family, friends and maybe a few of our favorite places, I really wanted to show you a couple of projects that are already finished in our San Francisco Bay Area home, which I didn’t have the time to post. While I was putting away the school work… Continue Reading
I just love it when I can put together a little project in under 10 minutes. Especially when the result is both pretty and unexpected. Even though we aren’t living in a beach house and our home isn’t located by the sea, I still wanted something “summer looking” by the front door. I took apart an old starfish… Continue Reading
