A Beautiful Mess: DIY PROJECTS
Emma and I love printed scarves. We've collected vintage silk scarves for years. They're the perfect classic accessory for all seasons with endless styling possibilities.
Ball Jar Lights
I’ve been wanting to do this for a year. It’s one of those things I’ve just been putting off. I love ball canning jars, especially the blue ones. The first thing you have to do to make the lights, is take out the glass seal. So I took the hammer and busted up the seal to get it out.
Not too long ago I read an article in Better Homes and Gardens or Martha Stewart , I forget which, about how to make your own votive candle holder. I loved the idea for the 4th of July, so I made this one with coordinating holiday colors. Two months ago . Hey, it’s been a busy summer . At any rate, this super easy project could be transferred to fall colors, Christmas holiday colors, Valentine’s Day, you name it.

suitcase vanity & towel holder
When I visit a friend’s home, it’s the little details filling the house that stand out and make me feel welcome. In my own home, I want to find ways to make my guests feel special. Baking cookies or having a favorite drink on hand is easy. What is not so easy is the tiny size of our guest bathroom. The small space makes it difficult to have extra little items on hand for guests. To add a bit of storage that is both pleasing to look at and practical, I attached a thrifted vanity suitcase to the wall to serve as a towel holder and small cabinet.
Accessories Are So Hot Right Now |
Oh how I love accessories! They can make any dull outfit brighter, cuter, and more interesting. Here are some of my favorites I’ve come across this season. Beautiful handmade headbands from Taza (found via SeeSaw Designs ).
I’ve been asked a few times where I get my ideas from. While creative ideas can be sometimes be elusive, sometimes they hit me instantly. The other night I was actually working on another project involving a hole puncher – the kind that has a little reservoir to catch the punched paper.

Art From: Plastic Bags + Wood |
It’s been a while since I’ve done an AFEO (Art From Everyday Objects) post. It’s not been for lack of ideas. It’s been for lack of time.I did an art/science project with my 2 year old today and I just had to share. You probably already have the ingredients in your kitchen right now to do it yourself. We were completely mesmerized by this – I heard lots of “wows” from my son. I love it when art and science collide.
