Bold Kitchen


This kitchen takes the bachelorette pad to the next level!  I honestly can't decide whether I like this or not.  I think I like the pink cabinets, but the wallpaper may be a little much.  Bright colors, and bold, large scale wallpaper and textiles are making their debut.  Women's fashion trends are edgy, and interior fashion is not far behind!  We may be seeing more spaces similar to this very soon.  

Fieldstone Bathroom


Gorgeous stone application!  The fieldstone paired with the curved wall, sleek tub, beautiful windows, and chandelier is the perfect balance of rusticity and glamour.  This is a space I would never want to leave!

Candle Fireplace


Love this idea for a fireplace!  Many fireplaces are no longer functional, or sometimes users prefer not to use their fireplace.  Filling it with candles will give the room, the same warm, romantic idea, without the mess.  And the addition of the lanterns is awesome!

Mason Jar Lighting


Do you have boxes of mason jars laying around in your basement?  Mason jars are great to create lighting for any space!  You can use as many as you like and mix sizes together to create your one of a kind DIY chandelier.  Drill a hole through the lid and add a light that will run through the base.  You can use steel, wood, etc, to hang the mason jars from, whatever suits your space best!  

Decanter Pendant Lights


We have been discussing lighting in our Materials class, and I could not pass up these beautiful DIY pendant lights!  They are made from vintage decanters and would be wonderful over a bar and give off fantastic shadows.  

Plumbing Pipe Shelving


In class this week we are discussing plumbing, and this is a wonderful shelf made from plumbing pipes and refurbished wood planks to make a beautiful shelf that can easily add additional storage as well as character to any space for under $200!
