INSPIRE: Mobiles For The Room
There is nothing better than a cute baby in an adorable nursery. Like many of you, I’m often searching for the perfect gift to fit in the upcoming decor. You can either go the safe and sweet route by getting them what they want on the registry at Target, Babies R’ Us etc. or surprise them with something from the heart.
My best friend had her baby back in April and I went ahead and made a baby mobile for the nursery…
Check out the one I made….

DIY: Punch Art
We often have pretty paper that we have no use for or just can’t bear to throw away – leftover gift wrap too small to do anything with, sheet music, collage paper, our kid’s artwork from ten years ago… Why not make use of these scraps to create a piece of art? This project is so simple but the overall effect is striking!

We had this fabulous chrome table base, but needed a glass top. Who came to the rescue with a donation? Of course, it was Glasshouse! (Click here to see the complete project.) Read More

INSPIRE: Faux Bois
Faux bois (from the French for false wood) refers to the artistic imitation of wood or wood grains in various media. Most popular in the late 19th century through the 1940′s, Faux Bois largely disappeared as a generation of skilled artisans retired. Originally, faux bois designs consisted primarily of garden adornments such as birdbaths, benches and planters. Today, chairs, tables, stools, consoles, dishware, mirrors and more can be found. Faux Bois objects claim their own gentle presence in any space. Here are some of our favorites!
