Sarah from Neroli Blossoms sewed sheets into a duvet cover that’s so voluminous it reminds me of a puffy, white cloud! While this project may be pretty time consuming, Sarah says it’s not too difficult and requires fairly simple sewing skills. I can imagine the end result makes it worth those hours spent sitting at the sewing machine. I mean how could you not have sweet dreams in this bed???

I hope you all enjoy a wonderful holiday celebrating the amazing country that we live in and the freedoms that we enjoy.

Gina from The Shabby Creek Cottage got the idea to turn a hollow core door into a simple, minimalist headboard like one she’d seen from West Elm. Gina didn’t let the fact that the doors are hollow and weak deter her… or the placement of her bed in front of the window. No siree! The clever gal just kept brainstorming ideas until she found one that worked. Gina says the headboard is one of her easiest builds ever and cost only $40.

After living n Hawaii for six years, Becca at From Gardners 2 Bergers has a deep love for the ocean. When she saw preserved sea fan art from Restoration Hardware, Becca knew it was just the touch she needed to bring her room to the level of perfection she strives for while reminding her of Hawaii’s rippling blue waters. Becca used a real sea fan she purchased online and a few craft store materials to make her artwork for a grand total of $25. That’s a saving of $525 compared to her inspiration!

Nicole from ART+POLITICS+Life was inspired by the work of Paul Villinski to make her own stunning wall mural for less than $20 using vinyl, a hand drawn stencil, and scissors. Nicole says, “It’s actually very simple and completely removable if you decide to redecorate. This project is perfect for dorm rooms or any other room that needs a statement piece.”
