DIY Rope Chargers for a Nautical Place Setting

Nikki from Tikkido was planning a party with nautical flair and wanted to get some rope plate chargers for the table setting. She knew Pottery Barn had just what she wanted… except they no longer sell them. Luckily, it was easy for Nikki to re-create them herself with a little felt, rope, and glue!

DIY Faux Flower Branches

When it comes to buying faux floral stems, it seems the options are to settle for plastic-y looking stems or pay absurd prices like $40 per stem! Mary from At Home on the Bay found a way around the dilemma by gluing the blooms from inexpensive craft store stems onto tree branches for a much more realistic look. Mary is so right when she says, “The sticks add that natural element that is missing from the plastic stems.”

Industrial Wood and Metal Pantry Shelving

My good friend Jen of Tatertots & Jello recently completed a gorgeous remodel of the laundry room/pantry in her 1905 cottage. The star of the show is the set of industrial wood and metal shelves that dominate the right side of the space. Jen shares exactly how she created her super sturdy shelves with pre-cut, pre-threaded pipe segments. That means there is no cutting involved – just simple assembly. Talk about storage heaven!
