While searching for items to use in our Anthro Love series, Lora sent me these napkins to check out! I love polka dots and bright colors so this was the perfect combination! To re-create these, I started with a 4-pack of bright colored napkins from Target’s Room Essential’s brand. To create the gold polka dot …

I think these colorful bud vases from Anthropologie are so fresh and sweet for spring. While completing the YHL Macklemore Challenge with Erica, I came across this flower pin. It immediately reminded me of those cute Anthro bud vases. So I added a colorful vase to my shopping list, and found it in the same …
I love chalkboards so naturally these adorable chalkboard jars at Anthropologie caught my eye. I’ve been working on my office area recently and I thought these jars would be great to hold paper clips and other small office supplies. You could definitely also use these in the kitchen for spices or in kids rooms to …
Mike & I are working on a project for our Entry that has been in the back of our minds for a long time, and I can’t wait to show it you. (UPDATE: Go here to see how we used the Animal Push Pins) However, for now, I’ll just share these fun little animal push …
I love wall art but so often it is out of my budget. While browsing Anthropologie, I came across this fun one of a kind drawing. I loved how colorful it was but the $600 price tag was definitely not an option. Recently, I decided to pull out my old pastels and canvases and make …
Erica spotted this Soapstone Globe on Anthroplogie, and she sent me the link right away. I love anything globe or map related, and already have a small globe collection in our living room. However, the price tag on Anthro’s version comes in at $368 – yikes. If I was going to own this globe, it …

I love polka dots so naturally, these Dotted Zinnia Knobs from Anthropologie caught my eye. Instead of paying $8 per knob, I decided I would make my own. I actually found all the items …
I picked up these two pillows (shown below) awhile back. Some of you are probably thinking “ick.” They are definitely vintage. And not good mid-century modern vintage or industrial vintage — just old, ugly, vintage. But, I liked something about them. So I came home from thrifting with two small, vintage, not-so-pretty pillows. I thought …
So I have a confession… I love coffee! Actually, Lora and I both love coffee and when we get together it’s pretty much guaranteed that a Starbucks run will be made. I decided to save some Starbucks bottles and paint them. To achieve this look, simply clean out the bottle, pour in paint in a …
After my son was born, I realized I needed to come up with some other ways to preserve memories besides just scrapbooks. I love to scrapbook, but we have tons of photos of our little boy and life is busy, so I try to only scrapbook the most precious photos and significant events. Thanks to …
The New Year is all about plans, goals and dreams. And how these dreams change from year to year. As a child I dreamed of being an actress or a dancer. As an adult I dream of garage organization systems! In honor of dreaming, I’m sharing a gift handmade for two sweet little girls. I …
