DIY: THE MOP MOBILE

While I’m definitely not afraid of fringe and love a good tassel or two, I tend to be more on the clean lines side of design. That being said, I couldn’t pass up the chance to get a little relaxation in while working on a spontaneous “fringy” project (that just so happened to be free!).

DIY: PEGS AND SHELVES

Okay people, this DIY has a drill involved, but remember, drills just make holes lol. I know the minute you see a power tool, it’s like “welp, I won’t be doing this!” but trust me, a screw driver and a thick screw will suffice! Now come on grandma, let’s get started. This is a twofer project because not only do I show you how to make the simplest shelf ever, but also how to make a cute wood peg for it to hang on. You’ll thank me later for the double assignment!

DIY: THE EASIEST BENCH EVER

I introduce, the BENCHMAN TABLE – One part bench, one part ottoman and one part table! Guys, this project was so easy that it probably took me 30 minutes from start to finish. You’ll be amazed at how using just a few added details really turn this “table with legs” into a conversational piece, no matter what room you add it to!

OFFICE REVEAL: WORK IN PROGRESS

So living in an apartment is hard. Only made harder by the fact that we used to have a house, with my own office, which we sold (best financial decision ever, but still lol) before I realized my heart was in interiors – just my luck. So I went from having 2,400 square feet to play with, to just 800. Granted, I don’t regret it but in hindsight, I may have held on a little bit longer if I’d known I’d catch the interiors bug two short years later. But alas, here we are. Out of the three apartments we’ve lived in, this by far is my favorite. It’s the smallest but the most well laid out. It’s always just been the two of us, so space isn’t an issue, but not being able to get to the bathroom because the laundry closet is open was a huge no-no.

HOW TO SPOT A FAKE – PLANT

If you’ve followed me for some time then you know I can’t keep a plant alive to….well…save my life! In my defense, I haven’t really had much practice although if my mom asks me how my lemon tree is doing one more time, I’m going to break down and tell her the truth – it didn’t make it mama! Lol.
