Pottery Barn Knock-Off Tutorial - Ribbon and Bird Chandelier

It seems I’ve teased you long enough about the flock of 250 birds on my coffee table.  I’ve received a number of emails this week asking what I did with all of those little birds. If you guessed that I put together a Pottery Barn knock-off with those little guys, using a glue gun, then you would be correct! DIY Ribbon and Bird Chandelier For some time, I have been inspired by this Paper Flower Chandelier from Pottery Barn.  I really love how the ribbon forms a clean chandelier shape. However, once I decided on a color scheme for my

Easy Artwork That's as Cute as a Button

I had a great first post of 2010 planned, you guys. I had been thinking about it for weeks. I even had my list started…I was going to fill you in on all the great projects I have in store for the new year. The closer it came to January 1st, the more nervous I became. What if I didn’t get them all finished this year? What if I said I was going to do something that I didn’t actually do? We all know how the toile-covered headboard and mirrored nightstand tutorials that I promised but never actually wrote turned

I’m No Longer the Only Skirt Wearer in My House

I'm No Longer the Only Skirt Wearer in My House

The day after Christmas, the little table underneath the television in our living room looked like this. Yikes! Christmas brought a Wii, and a Wii brought a lot of “stuff” with it. I’ve mentioned before that I have big plans for the space underneath my TV, but I’m going to need big funds to do it. In other words, it’s gonna be a while. This little table is one that simply found a home here when I needed it to hold the DVR box and DVD player. However, the thing I hate about it is all the wires. My good-intentioned

The Five Dollar Challenge

The Five Dollar Challenge

It seems like $5 won’t buy very much any more. A couple of gallons of gas at Exxon. A foot long sandwich at Subway. A Venti latte at Starbucks. That five dollars certainly doesn’t stretch very far. About three and a half weeks ago, I issued a little challenge to the readers of this blog: the Five Dollar Challenge. I wanted to prove that we could in fact stretch $5 further than we thought, that we could put it to good use to create something beautiful for our homes. For the challenge, I didn’t want you to run out to

DIY Boutique Tassels

I’m one of those “teach myself” people – I taught myself to sew, I taught myself how to make a faux tailored bedskirt, and I even taught myself how to be a college mascot (I was the mascot at the University of Texas while I was in school, because I thought it was something I could do…I auditioned and it turns out that I was right!). After seeing all of the beautiful tassels hanging out around the Internet, I decided that I had to teach myself how to make them, too. I have tons of trims just taking up space
