Efterårs haven! - Kreative ideer til dig og boligen. Thrifty and Chic - DIY Projects and Home Decor. I'm telling ya, I'm in a complete knock-off mood right now.
There's just a thrill in finding something you like a lot...and knocking it off for a fraction of the price :) I've been thinking awhile about this and have decided to create a page just for knock-offs, and to create a series on knock-offs. What do you think? Last week will be the first one in my series, although I have plenty more knock-offs where that came from :) which all will be added to my Project: Knock-off page.

Have I mentioned that our house is kind of small? With very few surfaces on which to put stuff? I bought a much-needed jewelry box the other day, and when I got it home I realized there was no place to put it. Seriously. The only real surface is our dresser, which is now in the baby’s room serving as a changing table. I started by measuring out the layout, considering the length of the necklaces I had, how many earring hooks I wanted, and where I wanted the mesh screen placed. Then I screwed in the hooks, staggering the earring hooks and necklace hooks so that they wouldn’t interfere.

Rather than sitting on top of the fabric like a stiff iron-on transfer, the Ink Effects ink settles in smoothly to the fabric with little distortion of the feel of the fabric.
