Wood Platform Bed

I so love checking out the building projects from the girls over at Shanty 2 Chic. They put Pottery Barn to shame with their stellar work at just a fraction of the cost. Of course, having the amazing plans of Ana White on hand doesn’t hurt! Check out this platform bed that Whitney recently built [...Read More]

Love Wall Décor

Bonnie from Uncommon loved the look of the LOVE wall art from Pottery Barn – clean, sweet, and simple! She was able to easily recreate the look with some wood letters and a rustic wood tray she found on clearance at Hobby Lobby. I really love the look of the tray, especially since Bonnie added [...Read More]

Vintage Crystal Candles

Andrea from The Cottage Market was inspired to create her own set of lovely candles using vintage crystal dishes, wax flakes, and wicks. All three of her candles came to a grand total of $8.76! I have some small crystal pieces I received from my grandmother but unfortunately never use. I love Andrea’s idea of [...Read More]

Stenciled Love Pillows

Nothing says love like these romantic pillows from Beverly at Flamingo Toes. Literally! Beverly used a freezer paper stencil that she cut with her Silhouette to add the lettering to her pillowcases and then sewed some shabby ruffles to the edges. While I had Valentine’s Day on the brain when I looked at these, Beverly [...Read More]

Painted Light Fixture

Leah from LeahMarieV has hated the lights that came with her house for four long years and finally got bold enough to conquer them. It only took some spray paint to give her outdated brass fixture with etched glass a more modern look. Leah says it was “love at first sight.” Since new lighting can [...Read More]

Petal Window Panels

Kirstin from Kojo Designs had loved the Tender Falls Shower Curtain at Anthropologie for months, so when her living room needed new curtains, she decided to make a drapery version. Kirstin says, “Even though the flutters are not low maintenance, the project is totally worth the work!” These curtains are simply too gorgeous! The “flutters” [...Read More]

Dresser with Numbered Drawers

Leslie from Sweet Sweet Simplicity turned a cheap thrift store dresser into a cool Anthro-inspired dresser with numbered drawers. Leslie totally nailed the look by using a jigsaw to change the shape of the drawers and sandpaper and stain to give the final piece a rugged, distressed look. I really love this dresser more with [...Read More]

Subway Wall Art

Jen from Two Creative Mommas had been drooling over the Restoration Hardware subway signs for quite some time without the bank account to fund such a purchase. She decided to take matters into her own hands and make one. A trip to Michael’s, a trip to Staples, and Jen was set! After several attempts to [...Read More]
