I was definitely a hoarder in my past life. Like without a doubt, I needed an intervention. I’m sure I only hoarded the finest things though, like avocados, diamonds and silver spray paint. That’s the life! I love to repurpose things. Anything that has potential for another use, really. Exhibit A: dryer sheets I use

It’s no secret that I’m obsessed with Target. Or maybe it is — in which case, now the cat’s out of the bag. I love a good Sunday afternoon perusing the aisles. (By the way, have you seen the new Threshold line? Too cute! So many goodies!) I recently saw these ladies on the

A few months ago, I saw this pin on my beloved Pinterest and really wanted to recreate silver coffee beans. Remember my coffee bean makeup brush holders? What can I say? I’m big on the bean! After doing a little more research - as in, clicking the picture and being redirected to the link - I noticed

I was at Gracious Home last month and noticed this lacquered beauty for $90. Pretty? Yes. Worth the money? Unlikely. I was Inspired by the DIY lacquer box featured on Centsational Girl’s blog. And, as a lover of shiny things, I thought I’ll try my hand at that, too. This was not a typical studio project. There was

Let’s talk about the toilet tank, shall we? Since I have already welcomed you into our master bathroom a few too many times, I figured why not once more? There was the DIY stereo, the bathroom stripes and now the toilet tank! Are you someone who tops the toilet tank? I think that’s a girl thing for sure. You
