Plants Hanging from Ladder

I found this old ladder for a couple bucks at a thrift store. Using plant hooks and wire, I attached it to the ceiling over my bathtub.

Chandelier Makeover

As I was clicking through some blogs I love to peruse, I came across fun chandelier before and after photos. I'm hoping to soon replace my entry way chandelier and repurpose it as a light in my art studio. My plan is to paint it glossy lime green, and the little shades, black. These photos from Design Sponge are a great inspiration for my upcoming project. Now if I could just find a replacement light in my entry way we could get this ball rolling!

Valentine's Day Thumbprint Hearts

Using red craft paint, friend and photographer Jen Schleicher helped her two little loves create thumbprint hearts for their daddy. After labeling it with names, ages and the date, it is now displayed in a blue frame as a keepsake and Valentine's Day decoration for years to come.

Creative & Personalized Shoulder Straps

Spice up your life! Take off that factory camera bag strap and tie on a fun (sturdy) scarf. The one I use is wide enough to spread out over my shoulder which distributes the weight more comfortably. My laptop bag is a simple padded case from REI with hooks where I tied a fringed gauzy scarf.
