Since in my previous post I gave an example of unique and inexpensive art I thought this tutorial would be a perfect follow up to that.
This DIY tutorial on how to create your own silhouette art is fun and easy on your wallet.

I will be following this tutorial soon myself, so I thought I would post it as a reminder and as a guide for anyone else that would like to attempt to refashion an old chair or in my case a chaise.
Click on this image of a lovely slipcovered chair to check out the tutorial… easy step by step instructions. I will let you know how easy it actually is soon.
After my recent experience with hanging wallpaper in a tiny bathroom I am singing a different tune about painting faux wallpaper.
I commented on another blogs post about how much I love wallpaper and I do! However, after reading this tutorial and after messing up wallpaper in almost every way possible in my guest bathroom, I wanna try my hand at painting wallpaper in my next bath. There is nothing else that gives a bathroom spark like patterned walls and this tutorial may save you some money and heartache.
This tutorial via Jones Design Company is thorough as all her many tutorials are.
I want to recreate this wallpaper by Schumacher in my master bath.
Not all these patterns of course, the dotted stripe called the Gabrielle stripe is simple, clean and I think will be easy to recreate. This will save me a ton of money, probably about $500, and will give my bathroom a designer look.
I am not an advocate for all DIY projects. I think some things should be left to the Pros to give a professional look but I think I can make little dots on the wall. I am thinking to keep them uniform I will use the eraser of a pencil dipped in paint to make the dots. Stayed tuned to see how my DIY wallpaper project turns out and how I remedied my wallpaper goofs in my guest bath.
Tutorial Tuesday comes to us today via The Lettered Cottage. I had to post this tutorial simply because I must remember how to do this when it comes time for me to tackle this project myself.
The before from The Lettered Cottage looks vaguely familiar, hmm!?!
Now the after that is really spectacular.
Click here to see the step by step tutorial and look forward to the money you will be saving and the fantastic kitchen you will have after tackling this DIY project.
It is hot outside and I’m in the mood to wear breezy dresses and skirts. This skirt is perfect for a day like today.
A knock off of a not-so-affordable option from Anthropologie, this knit skirt would be perfect for a summer day. I love how she paired it with a simple tank.

Gonna start a new weekly blog featuring my favorite tutorials circling the internet that week. The tutorials may feature decor, fashion, or even great recipes. Basically anything that teaches you to make something great I want to share. I will even throw in a few of my own projects in the mix as I continue to work on my home.
So here is my first Tutorial Tuesday:
How to clean out a bulb to make vases or candle holders…
Here are examples of fabulous things made from the empty bulbs:
A totally cute mini terrarium!
A vase for single flowers or modern blades of grass!
Light bulb candle holders, so cute!
