Silhouette Wall Idea



I love everything about this wall. The colors, the silhouettes, the printed wall behind the solid mattes, everything. So pretty.

Thonet Chair Pillows


My mom loves her Thonet chairs but they are pricey and hard to come by. These Chair Pillows are a lot of fun and so creative.

Bathroom Organization

Love this idea from Steph Modo. If only I had such a pretty vanity (pretty towels will have to do!)

Family Organizers

I love the idea to keep things organized for each family member with this cute boxes. Now here's something else to keep an eye out for!

Since I love Paris and my husband's name is Ben, I think I'm going to have to make some prints like these for our house somewhere. Simple and cute.

Kids Storage Chairs

Kids have so much stuff- I love the idea to keep things tucked away like this. And with Knock Off Wood's simple, foolproof plans, I hope to have some of these eventually!

Grograin Ribbon Wreath

I've been eyeing this wreath for a while and think a nice springy color might make an appearance on my front door soon.

Monogram Cookies

Sweetopia is seriously talented. Wow. These monogrammed cookies are made by piping the monogram onto a sheet of parchment, with the printed design underneath. Then top the piped shape (use royal icing or melted candy melts) with nonpareil sprinkles, let set, and use to decorate.

Absolutely gorgeous.

Girl's Shirt from a Men's Top

I love this men's shirt turned into a sweet, pleated girls top. So fun.

Stamped Spoons as Herb Markers

I'm happy to find another use for my metal jewelry stamps, especially since I love herbs and can actually grow them.

from Monkeys Always Look's Etsy Shop

Update: this will NOT work on stainless spoons (I should have known but certainly didn't). I ruined my stamps trying! I'll have to find a softer metal!

Kids Chair and Chandelier

Isn't this room fresh and pretty? I love the colors, especially the chandelier and the rocking chair. So fun.

found on Belle Maison from the book Room for Children

Ruffled Shower Curtain

Ruffles are popular and I'm all on board. Oh I want a curtain like this for my bathroom... bedroom... whatever. So pretty!

Hooked Shelf

I don't really need a coat (much less a rack, remember that scene in Wayne's World?) in sunny Arizona but I want to make one of these for my bathroom. It's so pretty. That remodeling guy is so tricky.

Fabric Flowers

Here's another girlie project- fabric flowers from 100 Layer Cake. I love the soft colors and textures and can't wait to make some for me and my sweet babe.

Bows for Girls

Thank goodness I have a little girl because I used to get seriously upset by all the ridiculously cute dresses at the mall. I'm sure these hair clippies would have the same effect. I can't decide which I like the most, they're all so fun and creative! Check out Funky Polkdot Giraffe on etsy.

Kids Table and Chairs


This kids table has me dreaming! I've been thinking about it since I first saw it and think I'm finally going to be able to have my own. I found a pretty similar rectangular table and I'm going for it as soon as I get the cast off my sanding hand. I love the white but think I might do red. Either should be so fun for my little guy!

Rosebud Knobs

Found this dresser redo on Design Sponge and I'm JEALOUS. I love the piece, the hardware, everything. So pretty!

Happiness is a Choice


Cluck Cluck Sew makes such amazing quilts that I'm constantly emailing my mom her awesome stuff. And thinking I should have taken a sewing class in college (really, I think I was in TOO BIG of a hurry to graduate! More photography and cooking classes I keep thinking about!) She just redid this buffet and filled it with, of course, gorgeous quilts. I especially love the sign- "We tend to seek happiness when happiness is actually a choice." Wise words!
