FOR YOUR HOME
I found this chair on the curb a few days ago. Its previous owner had left it out on the street for someone like me to pick it up. There were two of them but the other one was way too broken and I knew I wouldn’t have been able to fix it. The one… Continue Reading
Happy Friday! Is it just me or do you, too, see succulent plants everywhere nowadays? Not only in the nurseries, but also in stores, magazine articles, TV shows, and blog posts! It seems that succulents have taken over the universe lately! And it feels like I’m the only one around who doesn’t own and grow… Continue Reading
You’ll love this project! It’s easy, fast, beautiful, original, inexpensive and much more! The supplies were all from one store, so there was no running around to gather everything. In less than an hour, I had three cute mirrors up and hanging in my daughter’s room. Here is what I did: I bought three embroidery… Continue Reading
I brought this little guy home today from Anthropologie. He’s a Scottish Terrier bottle opener made entirely of metal. I couldn’t resist his mystic charm and noble allure, so I grabbed him off the sale basket the very moment I saw him. At the register, I was asked to pay even less than the reduced… Continue Reading
My favorite subject? Duvet covers and linens in general. I absolutely love a perfectly well-dressed bed and I can go on searching for the best bedding for ever. And how could I not? Bed sheets, duvet covers and coverlets can be so highly priced that they leave you with no room for a mistake. You… Continue Reading
I have to admit that this post is geared more to those neat freaks, who like me, want to have every inch of the house organized (well, it’s not always, but I try). I can think of many people I know (my mom would be the first) who would look at me, puzzled and ask… Continue Reading
After finishing my daughter’s beautiful upholstered headboard (if you haven’t seen it yet, you can see it here), the wall around it seemed extremely empty. There are two windows on that same wall, one the right and one on the left of the bed but they’re high up and there was plenty of space underneath them for… Continue Reading
I transformed a $50 boring headboard into an amazing upholstered embroidered monogrammed headboard! All done and ready in one week-end – including the hand made initials! And if you think I’m some kind of expert in embroidery, then you’re mistaken! All you need to know is how to aim (and follow my simple directions)! … Continue Reading
I’ve had this ceramic decorative vase for many years. It used to be a silver shiny metallic color. My sister Irene had bought it in Romania, had packed it carefully in her suitcase, brought it to Greece (that’s where we lived at the time) and gave it to me as a Christmas present. Since it… Continue Reading
While I was shopping at IKEA the other day looking for a couple of things that I’ll need for a project or two which I’ m currently working on (so excited to show you!), I came across this magnetic board. Nice style, nice size, nice price. I thought it would look great on that big wall… Continue Reading
