DIY Laundry Rack
A friend’s mom brought the most amazing and beautiful laundry rack back from the UK. It’s the perfect solution to a small laundry and I have been coveting one since. I wasn’t able to find one locally though and with the wet weather setting in I’ve decided it’s time to make one. Cut the 2 […]

Keeping it loose
In my recent Living Room Make-over post, I showed you my “new” ottoman after I made a simple loose cover for it. I’ve decided that life is just too short for ugly, worn-out furniture but of course re-upholstering is quite the expensive endeavor. My deep-buttoned leather ottoman has a lovely shape and a great size […]
