  • Weekend Pairing: DIY Holiday Edition

    I had seen this gold leaf pinecone garland weeks ago & decided I needed to make one. Except I skipped the whole gold-leaf process & took a pile of pinecones out back and spray painted them. There. The lazy girl’s guide to DIY Christmas cheer! What’s that? Oh, you’re right. Lazy girls don’t spray paint…

  • 30 Days – Day 17

    This may very well be my all-time DIY best. I’m not going to pretend that it wasn’t a giant pain, but I love how it turned out. It all started with this.
