Following an extensive google session I found these beautiful recycled t-shirt bracelets and vowed to make them my own. And now you can too! Because you should. Really.

Room for Color 2012. U.S. Winner Kellie's "Bright & Beachy" Room Kellie lives in Marina Del Rey, so it's no surprise that she looked to the beach as a point of inspiration for her living room decor. What is surprising is the colors she used. Rather than going for the more-expected blues, she rocked out the red, bringing the warmth indoors, with just a touch of turquoise to set it off. The bright red walls help define the fireplace as the focal point of the room, but the drama doesn't stop there.

Unusually Lovely: Create Something - Blog. Growing up, my family always had advent calendars. Each year we had one of those push-out chocolate ones that you can pick up at any grocery store, and one that was shaped like a paper chimney with little boxes that my mom filled with candy and dollar bills. So this year, I knew I wanted to put together an advent calendar for Tim and I to open each day. I had this idea for a super modern black, tan, and gold advent calendar made from patterned paper boxes, and then I stumbled upon this free printable by Hey Look. It's literally the exact idea I had, but the printable was so great that I decided to give it a go. I printed the boxes out on kraft cardstock and followed her great instructions. I highly recommend this printable, the patterns are so cute! Once I had all my boxes folded and glued, I moved on to mounting them. Start by laying out your boxes in the order you want.
Take each box and spread the rubber cement on the bottom. Candy time! And that's it! Feather DIY - Ideas.

Also, my supplies are based on a 4 foot tall mobile using almost 100 ornaments, you’ll need to adjust amounts if you make one larger or smaller. Creating the Mobile Frame Creating the frame for my ornament tree mobile turned out to be fairly simple. For the top of the mobile I needed something that would allow me to easily secure a lot of hanging points without them sliding around too much.
