Couch Made From Pallets

http://decorhacks.com/2011/08/couch-made-from-pallets/ I have no idea what this website says (though I could use Google translate), but I don’t really need to. The image above says it all – someone brilliant built a couch from pallets and foam. This would be the perfect couch for me because I have so many books and items that I like to reference on a regular basis . . . and I would put them on those shelves. The one change I would need to make is the addition of some huge bolster pillows so I could sleep on my couch as well. Yep, if I built this then I could basically live on it.

Baby Food Jar Recycling

Now that Mookie is eating lots of baby food, I have all these cute little jars sitting on my counters because I just can't bear to throw them away. So I've been looking for some fun ideas to recycle and reuse the jars. At the bottom of this post are some different tutorials from around the web, but first I wanted to share a little project I made last night. Personalized Tea Light Holders

"The art of simplicity is a puzzle of complexity" - Doug Horton I love coming up with new ways to display all the pictures of our family. This project was done last year when I made my parents this photo block puzzle of their grandson. It is a wonderful and creative way to share memories with everyone and test their puzzle skills at the same time! Plus, instead of just getting one puzzle, you actually can get up to 6!

Decoupaging with Lace - Urban Comfort

Once in awhile I'll come up with a project that I get a little obsessed with and can't stop making. This decoupaged lace container that I made for Better Homes and Gardens was one of those projects. It all started with my love of textured pottery, but as I've been embracing my more feminine side lately, I was drawn to using lace as well. http://urbancomfort.typepad.com/urban_nest/2011/04/decoupaging-with-lace.html
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 23, 2011 | Comments: 75 I know Spring has arrived when my daughters start bringing me bouquets of freshly picked (and incredibly tiny) flowers. Their heartfelt offerings of Snowdrops, Violets & Bluebells make the most charming gifts, however, finding a vase to hold them is not an easy task (many times these clippings are under 2-inches in height).

Painted Glass With a Marbled Look

Years ago I made Christmas ornaments with this method in red and white paints which I still hang on my tree. So when I was taking down the holiday decorations the other day, I thought why not try it with a vase. For that matter, you could do it with pretty much anything you’d like to add a little color to.
