FOR YOUR HOME
I’ve been wanting to do something with this dresser for a very long time. Techniques, colors, materials and shapes of all kinds have been going around in my head for a while, trying to find the best way to embellish this dresser and give it some kind of personality. The dresser sits in my daughter’s… Continue Reading
All of us have one! A special drawer to hide all the things we don’t know where to place. It can be in the kitchen, the bathroom, the laundry room, even the nightstand or a desk. Mine is in the kitchen (I have others, too!) and it doesn’t look all that bad, only because the… Continue Reading
Not that long ago, I shared with you how I embellished my kitchen chair cushions with ribbon (Cushion Solution). First, I’m happy to report that although these are the most used chairs of the house, that ribbon has held up very well! For a while, I had some of that left over ribbon in my… Continue Reading
Two days ago, as I was getting into my car from the super market, I noticed a small branch of magnolia lying by the car door. Any other normal person would have just left it there, or most probably not even noticed it, but I picked it up, and even looked around to make sure… Continue Reading
This is our kitchen table. Perfect for breakfast, lunch and an informal dinner. It’s also a great place to work on the computer and do all kinds of projects. We spend a great deal of our day here. I like the light coming from the windows but altogether it’s a little bland. … Continue Reading
My daughter found this cute fabric tape at Paper Source the other day, and bought it for me, knowing I would do something with it! Sure enough, as soon as she brought it home, I got to work! Remember those three IKEA desks I put in a row in the boy’s room? Well, they may… Continue Reading
Ever get tired of the same home decor? Whenever this happens to me, I use this super easy, totally free, instant (and even healthy!) re-do. I pull out an extra large, beautiful serving platter, fill it with fresh fruit, arrange them nicely, and.. It’s ready to place wherever I need some change! On my kitchen… Continue Reading
My son’s room hosts three, yes three, IKEA desks – and not because he’s a homework lover, but only because there is nowhere else to place those desks (in our old house they used to be in three different rooms). I also had to fill this long-long-long wall in his room with some furniture –… Continue Reading
Finally, a pretty way to store pieces of leftover ribbon! I like to keep used fabric ribbons just in case they come in handy the next time I wrap a present or decide to do a project. But they don’t look very nice in that shoe box. And I can never find which one I… Continue Reading
Today’s project may have been a little more on the dirty side and less on the cute and aesthetic side, but it is definitely worth sharing! The house we just moved in is in a very good condition. Newer construction, well taken care of, clean and freshly painted walls. However, in every single room there… Continue Reading
