This year, I kept meaning to pick up a fresh wreath from my local florist, but never managed to get around to it.  Then… I stumbled across this beauty on Pinterest.

This adorably chic tinsel wreath is so simple to make and adds sparkly festive flare to any room. And so… number 7 on my Countdown to Christmas list is another fun holiday DIY project.

It’ll be gold tinsel for me (obviously)… how about you?

Lately I’ve been completely obsessed with all things gold-dipped.  That touch of gold adds just enough glamour – transforming an ordinary object into something fabulous. The best part? Many times it’s a simple DIY project!

Here are a few of my faves… enjoy!

I have good news and bad news… bad news, it’s Monday… good news, it’s Cinco de Mayo.  Hopefully that means leaving work early for some happy hour margaritas.

In the meantime, I thought I’d get you in the spirit with four of my favorite pinata picks.

Currently occupying my mind and my time…

Pump Up Your Style

I’m loving the simplicity and elegance of this soap dispenser.  A classic way to add style to any bathroom.

My Sunshine

If there’s one thing that can brighten my day, it’s a pair of new shoes.  These yellow beauties pack an extra punch of color.

Dubious DIY

I’m obsessed with the oversized balloon-tassel trend, but they can be pretty pricey.  I’m going to try my hand at DIY’ing these for Keira’s party this weekend.  Wish me luck.

Purr-fect Storage

It doesn’t get more adorable than this.  I’m sure if Keira could talk, she would be begging me for this. Wish granted!

Keira’s Nursery Final Chapter: DIY Duo

I mentioned before that Keira’s nursery came together with a mix of splurges, bargains and DIY projects, and for this last post I’m highlighting 2 of the DIY projects.

Dresser

This was a super simple DIY! Find a simple white dresser with clean lines, replace the boring knobs with some chic brass hardware and voila!

Slide1

Custom Artwork

This project takes a little more time, but is still super simple.  Start with craft feathers (I used white and pink), dip the tip of each feather in gold metallic paint paint (we know how I like anything gold dipped), and then sprinkle gold glitter on top.  Once the feathers are dry, frame them and you have your own custom one-of-a-kind artwork!

Slide2

Well that officially wraps up the mini-series on Keira’s nursery.  Hopefully you enjoyed it and got a little bit of inspiration along the way.

Coming soon are new installments of the Here & Now series, a host of new trend posts and a brand new series I’m starting this year.

Ciao for now…
