Pottery Barn Inspired Wreath

On Made With Love & Glue she has a tutorial on how to make a super cute Pottery Barn inspired holiday wreath. She makes her for pennies compared to the Pottery Barn price tag of $79.00. Gotta love a great deal....and when it looks like this you can love it that much more!! =)

PB look-alike shelf

My daughters room has a window that is just begging for this shelf. I love this because I hate putting things too tall in front of a window because then it blocks your light, but I also hate putting something small that my kids could stand on and have a potential accident out the window (I know paranoid). This solves the problem....and is beyond cute. Check it out here from Beneath My Heart.

Toilet Paper Pumpkins

Chocolate on my Cranium offers a cute, simple and cheap way to make decorative pumpkins for the Halloween/Fall season here. I thought it was pretty creative the way she used toilet paper (of all things) as the base of the pumpkin!! =) What a great way to make storing toilet paper in the bathroom cute!!

decorative balls and more

I am sure that many of you saw these yesterday on UCreate but I just had to post them here for my little file box. I have actually used this wrapping technique before for some cute little Easter chicks I made for my girls last year. Although it is a little time consuming the result is something that looks very beautiful. Check out this tutorial on V and Co. right here. :)


You can also use that same wrapping technique to improve some of those old glass vases that you have lying around your house. I saw this awhile back on A Soft Place to Land and have had them on my craft to do list. Check them out here.
