DIY Brass Bowl Pendant + Kitchen Sneak Peek

July 23, 2012 by Kristin Jackson 53 Comments
Our recent excursion to Goodwill proved quite fruitful… I turned this boring old brass bowl into our new glamoupuss kitchen pendant.  My husband thought I was nuts when I picked it up…
It was pretty, but all bent & warped.  Luckily the metal was thin enough that it could be pushed back into shape.  The hubs drilled a hole through the bottom & we inserted a simple light kit.… Read More

Hairpin Leg Table

July 17, 2012 by Kristin Jackson 15 Comments
Yesterday we took a little family trip up to the Goodwill & walked out with a few killer finds!  Some are going to require a little more lovin’ before they are ready, but this one was too simple not to share immediately!  
I found this little plant stand in a gorgeous antiqued brass finish & hairpin style legs.  Obviously, I saw a table instead.… Read More

DIY Skirted Console. Finally.

July 15, 2012 by Kristin Jackson 17 Comments
Last month I shared my love for all things skirted. { Post Here } Wanting to add this look somewhere into our home, there was no better candidate than our media unit/console/puzzle/shin buster. (Can you tell how much I loved it!)
It was a Crate & Barrel purchase years ago… it has served it’s purpose.  This piece slides together, so we took out the center shin buster drawer unit & successfully added it under Chloe’s Canopy Bed.… Read More

D I Y Tassel

June 11, 2012 by Kristin Jackson 4 Comments

Tassels are such an easy way to add an element of style to your space.  They are a chic statement that instantly dress up curtains, lamps, doorknobs, dressers… the list goes on.  Feeling inspired by my latest finds, I decided that my “new to me” dresser (once painted) will definitely need some tassels.  Here is how you can make your own chic tassels for less than $5 for BOTH!!!… Read More

DIY Canopy Bed: Part 1

May 23, 2012 by Kristin Jackson 16 Comments
Here it is!!!  Chloe’s “Princess” Bed.  We tried calling it a Big Girl Bed, but got more excitement after calling it a Princess Bed…  & do you remember I had a GENIUS idea for the top of the canopy?!  would you ever believe that this was her crib skirt?!?  It’s already the perfect size, the room was already based around this color scheme, it’s kind of perfect!… Read More

Wine Crate Drawer Fronts

May 15, 2012 by Kristin Jackson 23 Comments
When we first moved into the house, we needed some extra counter space for our tiny kitchen… We had an awkward little corner that we modified an Ikea Forhoja to fit in.  Can we say Basic McBasic?!  
FÖRHÖJA Kitchen cart IKEA Gives you extra storage, utility and work space.
{ Ikea }
We cut down the butcher block top so that it would fit perfectly in the nook.  It has sat there, functioning ever since.… Read More

DIY Live Edge Table

May 1, 2012 by Kristin Jackson 96 Comments
I told you all that I was sooo inspired by last week’s “I Love It” post that I made one of the items.  Did anyone guess it was the $25,000 Live Edge Tablle?!?  I have been lusting after these tables for some time now.  Pairing them with the right pieces can lead to some gorgeous outcomes. But that price tag!!! I have seen them for less, but still way too much for my pocket.… Read More

Blocks on the Rocks

April 18, 2012 by Kristin Jackson 37 Comments
I made a concrete block planter… Filled with gorgeous succulents… Just like everyone else…
But do you really think I would make a concrete planter just like everyone else?  I don’t think so! We made an outdoor bar!
I was completely awestruck when I originally saw Annette’s DIY Cinder Block Planter on Apartment Therapy.  Pure genius.  Since that post these planters have been popping up everywhere.… Read More
