As mentioned earlier, here are 2 of my DIY home decor projects:


The "planters" are actually desk organizers from Ikea.  They have 3 compartments are were meant to hold pens, pencils, notepads, etc.

The sticks are also from Ikea, but I cut them in half and trimmed them to be all the same height.  They're comprised of leaves, bamboo, and stick.



I went to Michael's and picked up some of that green plant foam and cut it to fit each compartment.  After sticking all the plants in, I covered the top with polished glass pebbles for some ~sparkle~.

Total cost for both:  $42.





My wall hangings were 24x36 picture frames, with the glass removed.  I cut lengths of ribbon and glued them along each edge, then weaved them.

I made 2 brown ones with a lined, thin, brown ribbon, and 1 gold one with thick, sheer ribbon.

Total cost for each hanging:  $20.

Apologies for the lack of updates! I know one of the main rules of blogging is to be regular with updates, but we've been moving stuff from the apartment to the new house and I've been running around ZGallerie, West Elm, The Container Store, Ikea, and Target buying things to furnish and organize the house. MAN I LOVE CABINETS AND DRAWERS. There's been like a 500% increase in storage space and I LOVE IT SO SO MUCH.

The house has high ceilings and lots of walls to cover so I've been looking at Etsy.com at prints (mostly letterpress prints) to frame and hang on the wall.


Twilight

Drop by Drop

These are from HoneyLux.  Each one was inspired by a Latin phrase - "Inter Canem Et Lupum" and "Filatim, Gutatim," respectively (roughly translating to "Between Dog and Wolf" and "Drop by Drop, Thread by Thread").  I love how they're both so dark and haunting, but delicately beautiful at the same time.



Mustachio Nut

This one is from Ole Rattlesnake.  No explanation necessary.  It's just perfect in every way.
