Nesting Tables

Nesting Tables

Nesting tables have been around since the 1700’s when table’s voluptuous curves slimmed down a little so you could actual fit one under another.  Back then every parlor  needed a table for tea, embroidery and, of course, cards – why not slip them all under one another when not in use?  Well 300 years later,…

Bunny Planter Stand

  Not only a great way to celebrate the coming of spring, also a great fix for those of us that may not have actual garden space! These bunny planters can be made out of one piece of pine board and come together in absolutely no time.

Embroidery Hoop Urns

Embroidery Hoop Urns

One sees these in every designer shop these days – lovely old world orbs. They’re perched on top of books, nestled in a planter with ivy, or perched upon a candlestick. Well, here’s how you can get that same look at home for merely the cost of a few embroidery hoops.

Wedding Invitation Shadowbox

Wedding Invitation Shadowbox

I was so honored to help out a viewer who found her parents’ wedding invitation not long after her mother passed away.  Not knowing how to honor her parents more than 50 years of marriage, she wrote to me.  Here’s my solution, I liked it so much I may even dig mine out and do…

Dog Feeder Dresser

Dog Feeder Dresser

Before kids, we were happy pet parents.  With two dogs and a cat we were always tripping over bowls, leashes and bags of food. Well, the next time we go down that path, boy will things be different!  I’ve figured out this all in one pet food and bowl holder that keeps everything in one…

Butterfly Domes

Butterfly Domes

Nothing says lazy summer day like a gently floating butterfly. In an effort to keep those lovely days in mind all year long, I’ve created a butterfly cloche to remind myself that those summer days are never too far off. Easily done and completely customizable to match your decor they’re a wonderful little fantasy piece.

Yarn Storage Art

Yarn Storage Art

  A viewer wrote to me with a dilemma.  Her yarn supply was getting out of control and although she had it all stored neatly in bins, she couldn’t see everything she had.  Not to mention that getting to some of the yarn involved shuffling bins around and copious amounts of digging.  So here is…

Leather Belt Shelving

Leather Belt Shelving

I love leather belts.  I love rustic wood planks.  So…..why not put them together into some useful (and chic) shelving.   I was truly shocked how easy this was to put together, an impressive DIY for any of you putting off your first project!

Hardware Christmas Tree

Hardware Christmas Tree

We all have it.  That drawer of random hardware.  Or maybe it’s a garage shelf with bits and pieces.  Well let them sit there no longer!  Here’s a great way to pull them together into a bohemian Christmas tree that could really stay up all year long.

Succulent Heart

Succulent Heart

Everyone knows my love of succulents.  There’s such a variety, they take very little care and they live forever.  I did a similar project to this before where I mixed them with roses and used floral foam. I wanted to revisit the project and find a way you could permanently plant in the heart box…

Ice Skate Frame

Ice Skate Frame

What does one do when Olympic gold medal winner Tara Lapinsky is coming to town….make an ice skate frame, duh.  When I was putting it together though I realized how great it would be for commemorating so many milestones – ballet slippers for that first performance, baby shoes for those first steps, wedding shoes for…

Worried about your furry tailed friends this winter? Well, one way to help them out is to build a squirrel house….that’s right…it’s a thing.  Not only are you helping out the little guys, they/re actually a pleasure to watch care for their families throughout the year and also help with reforestation as they really don’t…
