Inspiration Flies

I love when I stumble upon beautiful ideas.  Some of these I can duplicate myself.  Like this felt circle pillow

I love the texture!  This would be pretty simple to recreate, too.  Cut tons of circles from felt, fold in half and sew to a front piece.  Add a back and stuffing and you’ve got yourself a sweet, textured pillow!

Speaking of sweet, how about this finger print cut out artwork by Lori Danelle.

I wonder what I can do with a cut out design…?

Months ago, I saw this b.e.a.utiful custom pendant on an episode of Dear Genevieve and fell in love.  A little googling later and I found the maker, Sarah Foote, and where to buy said pendant. 

I still can’t figure out the frame or how to cut a million ash veneer circles, but I would love to do something similar.

It would be fun to make a clock like this, from Timber!

What inspires you to take on a DIY project or two?

I’m a Lookin’ and I’m a Likin’

Recently, we have had a few requests to show some of our favorite home furnishings.  So, without further ado, welcome to our latest, greatest and newest series featuring beautiful furniture and accessories I’m currently coveting.  We do plan to make this a post series, but for those of you out there looking to get the updates as soon as we add an item, don’t fear.  You can subscribe to an RSS feed, conveniently located below our shops, to receive up to date info on the items we’d like for our own abode. 

First on the list is this beautiful Z Gallerie Rose Pillow, on sale for $34.99.

This 6 foot 7 inch by 9 foot 6 inch faux bois Martha Stewart rug is a steal for $152.80, available at Home Depot.  Who knew Ms. Martha had a line at Home Depot?! 

How beautiful is the branch side table from West Elm?  Yes, that was rhetorical, we all know it’s amazing.  It’s a little out of our current price range at $179.00, but definitely worth every penny. 

I l.o.v.e this glass links chandelier from Z Gallerie, too.  The best thing about this light?  It’s versatility.  The beautiful links are formal enough for a dining room, but still fun and interesting enough for a bedroom. 

If the branch side table didn’t tickle your fancy, maybe this sleek and elegant mirrored side table from Target will.  Place this table in a living room or bedroom and it will be a show stopper. 

What are your favs?  We’ll keep you posted on any new, beautiful finds we stumble upon.
