After discovering lion drawer pulls at the hardware store a few weeks ago, we were immediately reminded of this vintage Moschino jacket spotted on Jane of Sea of Shoes . They were obviously too amazing to pass up and we knew we had to incorporate the mini door knockers into a DIY.

Ribbon-Bracket Shelves - Martha Stewart Home & Garden

Bring the ends of a 1-inch-wide grosgrain ribbon together (ours was 36 inches long); fold ends over twice. Attach folded ends to wall with a screw gun. 2. Slip a 1-by-6-inch painted plywood shelf into ribbon loop, so ribbon is at least 3 inches in from shelf end.
How To: Fabric Headboard My apartment has two bedrooms: a large one with no discernible closet, and a small one with a glorious amount of closet space. Since I didn’t like the idea of having to go ALL the way down the hall every morning to get dressed (I’m super lazy like that), I decided to take the smaller bedroom. Now, I haven’t had a headboard on my bed in my last several places, but for some reason, this room just feels like it needs one. I think it’s the fact that I can’t paint the walls… I feel like I really need something to break up the seemingly endless sea of off-white. http://metalandmud.wordpress.com/2011/03/24/how-to-fabric-headboard/
