FOR YOUR HOME
Like an impatient child, I’ve been looking forward to the end of this school year for many reasons: beginning of vacation, relaxed schedules and so much more. But there is one reason that I bet you would never think of. And that is that the artwork done at school throughout the year is FINALLY coming home, so I can finish… Continue Reading
After spending a few hours during the last weekend working on some backyard updates (see here, if you haven’t already read my previous post), it’s now time to enjoy it! And what a better idea than inviting a couple of friends over for dinner. That was just the motivation I needed to make some summer… Continue Reading
Remember that black lampshade that I lined with gold wrapping paper back in the fall? Well, I still like it a lot (and so did many of you!) but, right now, it seems a little out of season. As we’re getting closer to summer, I’d rather have lighter decor and instead of a relaxing little corner, a… Continue Reading
The other day, I was browsing at (where else?) Pottery Barn, looking for outdoor inspiration. I did get some good ideas that I will soon start working on, but my eye also caught this Mirror Mat Frame that I really liked. I’ve seen all kind of mats: of course colored cardboard, but also plain glass, linen… Continue Reading
I just can’t choose the most appropriate adjective to describe this project! It’s easy, inexpensive, fast, fun and yet the result is original, elegant, and sophisticated! Really, a one of a kind wall art that you’ll enjoy making and displaying in your home! The monogram is entirely made of a simple stationary item: paper fasteners inserted, next… Continue Reading
You don’t need to pay a fortune on fresh flowers in order to make a pretty arrangement for your home! I was at Trader Joe’s yesterday, spending my first minutes in the store by the flower section (as always). I chose this bunch of yellow freesias for only $5.99, and so did the very nice lady who was shopping next to… Continue Reading
If you ask me, I’ll tell you that polka dots are always in! You can literally add them anywhere you want, and in just minutes you have a whole new look! Whether you’re young or less young, artsy or not, polka dots are always fun. It just so happens that I have the trick to adding… Continue Reading
After I was done with my latest project and before putting my sewing machine away, I thought I’d make a little bag from some fabric scrap and leftover materials from older projects. I’m so glad I did! Because sometimes an adorable little nothing can make your day! So, after finishing the IKEA hack, I had some of… Continue Reading
Ready for another IKEA hack? After the IKEA dresser remake and the cute and simple but absolutely beautiful addition to an IKEA duvet cover, I re-made an IKEA hamper. Have you seen the Jall Laundry Bag at IKEA? If you don’t already own one, I’m sure you’ve run into it at an IKEA store because it’s been selling for… Continue Reading
If you’ve been following this blog for a while, then you might have noticed how easily I can get carried away talking about the story behind every project. I really enjoy sharing how each of them started and how it ended up, with all the in between stages and little details. I also like showing… Continue Reading
