Great Kitchens on AT


I was just doing my evening blog reading and came across an article on favorite site Apartment Therapy titled “10 Great Los Angeles Kitchens”. Being that I live in Los Angeles and I love peeking at people’s kitchens, I had to check it out. Imagine my surprise to see MY kitchen was included! So I guess now I’m bragging, but what can I say, I’m so proud! But I will admit that my counters were that clean once and only once. You can check out the other kitchens and what they had to say about them here. Have gorgeous weekends ladies!

DIY Mod Podge Children’s Bathroom Stool Part 2


Thanks Ohdeedoh for featuring Jaime’s step stool DIY Part 2! We have now added the little deer as a free downloadable template!
 —
I gave Jaime’s bathroom stool project a go last night and I’m loving the results of our made-over stool! The new stool has had more of a positive effect on Clare’s potty training than the sticker chart, plus it makes your bathroom pretty! You should make one, seriously. My faux bois base paper is from Martha Stewart/Michaels and the deer is a cut-out from white paper layered on top.

How to Make A Pouf Pillow


Ladies, I am about to start a deluge of pillow DIYs for you, I hope you don’t mind.  They’re all quite bright as they’re themed for a mystery-event-to-be-revealed-later (I can’t wait to tell you about it!).  First up is a pouf pillow, a little tuffet of sorts.  While I used some crazy sequin trim on clearance at Wal Mart, you may want something more subtle, perhaps Pom Pom Fringe, beaded ribbon, or piping.  This DIY pillow was great because I had to use actual geometry (remember that the circumference of a circle = 2r X pi?)…

Don’t be alarmed, I do the math and give the whole scoop on How to Make A Pouf after the jump…
