A Great Idea for YOU DIY’ers Straight From NYC!!!

Tina from The Enchanted Home blog did a whirlwind visit to the New York Gift show this week. While visiting her blog, and living vicariously through her trip I was taken with one of the displays by a new vendor.

It is not something that will work in my home, but I thought it was so fun and clever I wanted to share it with my readers also.

As many of you know I am not a very good DIYer, but so many of you are and I just know one of you will take this idea and run with it………


Isn’t this a fun idea?! This giant shadow box is approximately 4'X5'!! It would fill in an entire wall in a kitchen dinette……

Friday’s Question of The Day!!

I absolutely love monograms and in my own home I have my all white towels monogrammed in cream for our master bedroom. In our black and white guest bathroom we have white towels with a black monogram.

This weeks question is about monogrammed towels and how to hang them. My reader asked this question……..

When you monogram towels, do you just monogram the hand towel, if you are using them for decoration in your powder room?  Two bath towels on a towel rack with a hand towel on each one.  Which one do you monogram?

Great question!! One  that we might think is obvious for some and yet it did make me stop and think!!  What if you don’t want both towels monogrammed which one would you spend money on to have monogrammed? 

So Dear reader’s, “What Say Ye?!”

BTW: Here is an image of my own guest bathroom with monogrammed towels. I have a bath towel and a hand towel. I also have a towel laying on the side of the sink for use.......

Simple and Easy Ideas!!!

Once in awhile I run across something that I think is really a good idea. I thought I would show you a few ideas that were new to me. I like to find things that I can implement in my own home.

I figured if I could use some of these ideas then you might like them also………

Since I am on the subject of cabinet doors take a look at this genius camouflage of 1970’s cabinet doors. Next time my kitchen needs repainting I am going to have hubby do this before the painting!

I don’t know about you all, but I hate cords showing. Sometimes the simplest ideas are so obvious once we see them. This idea was one of those ideas where I said, “Now why didn’t I think of that?!”

Speaking of cords made me think about lights.  Check out these fun hanging lights.  Wouldn’t these be fun in a boys room or a den?

How about these fun lights for outside?…..

Thinking about outside made me think I need to get off of the computer and go and do some watering before it gets too hot!!
