Chair Transformation DIY

Hooray! Summer is here! Personally, summer is a time when I’m really gung-ho to tackle a lot of projects. Perhaps it’s because I’ve been awoken from a sluggish hibernation, perhaps it’s the expansion of workspace, or maybe it’s that extra injection of Vitamin D. Whatever it is, I’m eager to create and transform. In searching for some fun, new projects, I came across the inspiring blog Simply Beautiful Now. With an eye for the quirky and a need for more seating, I was drawn to Carol’s DIY chair transformation. Now it’s off to the thrift store with me!

Flower Arrangement DIY

Another fantastic entry by a fellow blog queen – this time, Anne from The City Sage. The City Sage was named a must-read by Martha Stewart Living so we are excited to be able to feature her project!

As our nutty Canadian weather keeps us guessing whether it’s still winter, or already summer, or maybe back to spring – keeping fresh flowers in the house at ALL TIMES, is something we give the thumbs up to.

Another Take on a Scarf Shirt!

You know I love my scarf shirts! Scarves are these large pieces of material, just begging me to manipulate them into an interesting shape. Mea culpa, my sister came up with this idea. Am I am chagrined to say it’s the best one yet! Now that summer’s here, it’s the perfect time to create your own scarf shirt.
