I don’t think there’s a mom in the world whose heart doesn’t warm at a heartfelt, handwritten note. And what better finishing touch than these pretty sewn paper envelopes made by Diane at In My Own Style? After receiving an order from Anthropologie, Diane was smitten with the stylin’ stitched envelope containing her receipt and decided to make her own brighter, more colorful envelopes. Diane even shares her templates to make this project a breeze!
Kelly from View Along the Way recently built jewelry drawers inside her closet, complete with velvet lining upcycled from a thrift store dress. The only thing Kelly’s new drawers were lacking was knobs and not just any knobs – knobs with bling! Kelly found Precious Stone Knobs from Anthropologie that offered tons of sparkle… for $128 PER knob. Instead Kelly added screws to pieces of pyrite and had her own “precious” knobs for waaay less!
Debbie of Made From Pinterest was a little hesitant to try a pin for hand painted bowls due to the artistic nature of the project. However, the beauty of the hand painted look is that it doesn’t require perfection. Debbie got some cheap bowls and paints and went to town. She says, “Be creative! Don’t worry if the design isn’t perfect. That just adds to the hand painted look and feel of these cute designer and decorator bowls.”
Lately, I think just about everything looks better with a touch of gold. Take these glasses from Mary of At Home on the Bay. They were just plain old ordinary glasses until Mary glammed them up with metallic glass paint. Now they are full of personality and pizzazz, which is a pretty awesome for only five minutes of Mary’s time!
Katie from Addicted 2 DIY loved the ribbon heart dish towels Anthropologie had for Valentine’s Day but missed the boat on making one in time. Why not make a ribbon Easter egg dishtowel instead?!? Katie already had the flour sack towel, and Target helped out with some pretty spring ribbon from the dollar spot. This is such a cute way to bring a little Easter décor to your kitchen!
