hiking
before it becomes all blistering and oven-like around here, i want to take advantage of the splendor of the desert and spend some time enjoying the scenery of the trail.

i am most definitely going to find an excuse to make this. a sunday afternoon is a good enough reason, right? right.
you’ve done it again, design*sponge. i need to do this. love the clean contrast,
i stumbled upon this fabulous home featured on design*sponge and just had to share.
isn’t it fabulous? simple, cozy elegance. with touches of antiques, old books, and original family art. i love the strategic collections of mementos. not cluttered shelves and tables of “stuff” but important trinkets on display that are as lovely as they are meaningful.
this sends my mind a-spinning with decorating projects…how about you?
aren’t these just fabulous?
i love cool lamps but they can be just so darn expensive! and even if you do pay the price, they lack a certain “special” quality. that unique twist that makes them fit perfectly into the decor.
and so, i have decided follow in the footsteps of those brilliant folks at design*sponge and try my hand at creating a personalized lampshade or two.
there is never a shortage of fabulous prints at the fabric store so perhaps i will pop over there with my mom one afternoon and snag some interesting pieces. that plus a good ol’ vintage etsy find and i should be in good shape for raw materials. from there, i am hoping that i can just follow the step-by-step and then, voila! a gorgeous and one-of-a-kind lamp for miss elinor’s room.
wish me luck!

what fun diy projects are you tackling these days?
