We all have those projects that linger on our to-do lists for weeks, months, and even years. That was the case with these chalkboard plaques made by Melissa from Shabby Love. She had adored them for years, so you know it must have been all the sweeter when Melissa finally made her own collection of little boards out of luan. These would look so cute arranged on the wall together!
Allison from The Golden Sycamore is totally digging the industrial look right and teamed up with her hubs to build a custom end table for their living room. Allison walks you through the steps to achieve the beautiful aged finish that is characteristic of industrial furniture. While this project wasn’t the easiest or cheapest DIY, Allison and her husband did create their table for less than half the cost of their inspiration and got a piece that has special meaning to them and fits their space perfectly!
Emily from life{illustrated} is always looking for seasonal art inspiration, and the vintage egg prints from Ballard Designs caught her eye.

Kenz created her large map by printing it on multiple sheets of paper and then adhering the parts to a piece of plywood. She finished up by plucking some wood from her fence to use for the frame. (I’m loving that resourcefulness!) Would you believe this amazing piece of framed map art cost Kenz nothing… nada… the big goose egg???
Becca from From Gardners two Bergers was on a serious missions to recreate a square clock that she liked from both Restoration Hardware and Ballard Designs. I love her ingenuity and of course the price tag on hers. She was inspired by the $199 Quad Clock from Ballard Designs and…. The Vintage London Clock retails [...Read More]
Ever since the Restoration Hardware Factory Cart Table came out, Amy from The Blissful Bee has been dying to have it! Unfortunately, there was a price tag of about $1000 – and for Amy (and probably the rest of us, too!), that was out of the question. That’s when Amy and her hubby decided to [...Read More]
