Patterns and Wallpaper…

ebmcde — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 03:52:07 +0000

Happy Tuesday guys! Bryan and I are hoping to move sometime this year and I’ve been getting excited about different decorating ideas. Of course, I have about a million websites bookmarked on my computer (not to mention my uncontrollable obsession with Pinterest) and when we finally find the house we’re looking for I’m slightly worried that Bryan might think that someone has taken over my mind and body by the many ideas and DIY projects that will be flooding out of me. Don’t worry, I’ve already warned him. I do like the idea of finding some funky wallpaper to put in a bathroom or just one wall. Here are a few that caught my eye.

DIY

I’ve always been a DIY (Do it yourself) lover… I’m all about any projects that I can create from home and turn into something crafty, original, and one-of-a-kind. DIY projects are fairly inexpensive and you can put your own individual twist on them. My friend Laine keeps an awesome blog (click here) where she adds great DIY projects that she’s tried. I’m still dying to try the glass etching and salted caramels that she wrote about. Here are a few other DIY projects that might be fun to undertake this year! I found them all here!

Wine Bottles

ebmcde — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 23:14:11 +0000

Each morning, I walk into my studio with my cup of coffee, get ready to hunker down for a day of work, and start by lighting a few candles. With all the chaos and jewelry materials floating around my work area, it’s nice to have a little peace with one or two candles. This morning, I lit this candle that my friend Liz gave me a few weeks ago for my birthday. It literally burned for 9 hours straight and was fantastically lovely every second of the way. Did I mention that it’s made from a recycled wine bottles?…

So, it got me thinkin’ over here about all the awesome things that can be made with old wine bottles. Each bottle has unique shades of green, purple, red and brown and the possibilities are endless of how to incorporate them into your home. Here are a few creative ways to use old vino bottles! Cheers.
