Most bulletin boards are boring, but there's nothing dull about this bright yellow dazzler. This brilliant Ikea hack uses the Ung Drill frame and lots of wine corks to create a beautiful and functional board worthy of proud display in your living room or kitchen. Or office. Or anywhere, really!… Continue Reading
Give plants (or books!) a fun new place to hangout with this clever idea: retrofitting a ladder for wooden shelves! It's an inexpensive and unique DIY project that can work in a variety of spaces.… Continue Reading
Last weekend, I whipped up these fun, graphic wooden arrows, made from some scrap walnut and maple I had lying around. The whole project took me about thirty minutes, and I love… Continue Reading
When I first saw these gold drink coasters, I figured that they were bought at a high-end boutique (and therefore too pricey for my taste). Boy, was I wrong! It turns out you can easily make these yourself using a few ceramic… Continue Reading
Although these interior design ideas are geared toward apartment dwellers who decorate at the mercy of rental agreements, they are also perfect for anyone who wants a 'wow' makeover without major DIY fuss. Some at the top of… Continue Reading
Last week, I talked about finding interiors inspiration in the most unlikely of places, and this week I am building on that post with ten tips to a cozy, modern space.
The more places I decorate, the more I am reminded that decorating a home should be stress-free and fun. You just have to take it one room at a time. Right now, my husband and I are working on our living room. So I thought that would be a good place to start with today's… Continue Reading
I love this light-up sign idea! While the wording isn't particularly applicable to my life (no kids here!), it's a clever wall art / lighting combo project that could easily be adapted to anyone's space or personal style! … Continue Reading

I love poufs. Whether they're knitted, made from floor mats, or sewn from sturdy canvas (like this one), I think they look good in any room (not to mention the fact that they make excellent spare seating)! … Continue Reading
I'll admit it, I'm a sucker for decorative bowls (And throw pillows! I loves me some throw pillows. Oh, and blankets. And probably ten thousand other things, let's be honest. Anyway, back to bowls...). There's always a use for them, whether they're actually holding anything or just looking pretty. These DIY glitter bowls definitely fall into the latter, straight-eye-candy category, which is fine by me!… Continue Reading
Now this is an alternate use I've never seen before. An old brown porch step--not much unlike the one pictured above--was slathered in two coats of bright white… Continue Reading
I'll admit that the coat rack/wall hook situation in our entryway (which is really just our living room) needs a little help. When we have guests over, they inevitably ask, "So... uh, where do you want me to put my coat?" -- which means "Dude. Get a coat rack already." We end up tossing jackets over the back of a random piece of furniture and call it day, but I'd love to surprise our friends with an actual, honest-to-goodness coat rack or wall hook the next time they come over. One of these modern DIY options ought to do the trick! … Continue Reading

This year, I am vowing to try at least one of these V-Day decor ideas. What about you? Will you… Continue Reading
I LOVE Instagram, my stream is filled daily with beautiful images from across the world from some very creative people, likewise I hope I inspire others with my own snapshots.
Though sometimes you just want to have something tangible to relive those memories, enter the DIY… Continue Reading
When I first saw the photos for this DIY, all I could think about was how long it must have taken and how expensive all that film would be. Then, I actually read through the tutorial and realized I had been duped. This project is way easier than it looks, and a lot less expensive than I thought too.… Continue Reading
