DIY Dip Dye Chairs

I’ve been working on completing Hayden’s nursery, and one thing every little kid’s room needs is a little chair. I actually quite adore little chairs and we have about 8 of them in different shapes and sizes all about the house.  I was going to buy him a new one, but instead decided to give […]

New DIY Supplies – Wire Guards

DIY Inspiration – Barrettes

I haven’t worn a proper barrette since I was a little girl, but this Spring I started seeing the reappearance of pretty detailed barrettes all over the place and I love how they are looking in flowy hair or to make a simple bun seem not so simple.  I especially love that they serve a […]

DIY Anthropologie Inspired Statement Necklace

My friend Mary has started DIY’ing her own jewelry too, and it’s been fun to have someone else to get creative with.  She saw this Orinoco Necklace from Anthropologie and fell in love, but knew she could make something similar for less than $68.  The necklace on the right is her interpretation, and one she […]
