While going through Pinterest I noticed trend on my DIY board. There are so many things you can paint around the home…some unexpected to spruce up things up and add color. I especially dig Ikea’s gold leaf transformation of a basic chair. Check out my Pinterest to go to the sites of the projects.
In many of my door posts I have become more fond of lion door knockers. But ever since this post I have been really obsessed with them and want to put them on my closet doors.

Nailheads and lion pulls? Sign me up.
I even like them on the back of chairs and boxes. Do you like this look?

View the tutorial and be inspired. The technique to create the desk seems like something that would be great as wall art.

You know you wanna try it. Thank me later.
I want cobalt blue pillows….and I’m not paying over $100 for them. I am frugal and cannot justify paying $400 for four pillows. And when browsing a lot of these online stores….I see that price range more often than I’d like. Actually it isn’t uncommon to see pillows at $150 price range. As a matter of fact…
