I recently updated our guest bedroom in a bohemian style. The makeover included numerous DIY projects, one of which included these easy DIY boho decor pieces which I hung above the closet. The floral letters are very easy to make. While you can purchase wooden letters to attach your flowers to, the more inexpensive DIY option […]
I was in the process of redecorating our family room and started looking for coffee table options. I really love all the mirrored furniture that is out there right now but it all seems to be a bit pricey. Cue IKEA. While they don’t sell mirrored furniture per se, they do sell mirrors and they do […]
When we moved into our new house I bought this cube storage unit to hold our bath towels and rugs. It functioned well for its intended purpose but it certainly wasn’t a good looking addition to the bathroom. Fast forward 7 years and I am finally getting around to redecorating our master bathroom. I still […]
When I saw these BASTIS Dog Butt Hooks at IKEA for $2.99 each, I knew a BASTIS IKEA hack was in store for them. I thought it would be cute to create some DIY Dog Butt Art by having a dog butt buried in a piece of artificial grass, in a frame on the wall. […]

If you saw my DIY Bar Cart post, you’ll know that I hacked the Ikea Bygel utility cart and created a stylish, tropical bar cart for less than $35. When it was time to add décor pieces, I knew I wanted an ice bucket. After extensive searching, the cheapest one I could find was $24 and it wasn’t even […]
I love the new Bar Cart trend that is happening right now. So when my dad asked me to design him a Tommy Bahama inspired bedroom, I knew exactly what my first statement piece was going to be. I wanted his room to feel like he was on vacation, staying at an expensive, beautiful resort. […]
For those that read my post Chicago Green Spaces – 4 Fabulous Finds in Less Than 4 Hours you’ll know that I was super excited to swoop down the slide in Slide Crater and then just as quickly heartbroken when I encountered this sign. There were dreams of a rent-a-kid business to solve my conundrum, but then reality […]
