Sweet Dreams are Made of Half Moon Headboards

10.07.19

Earlier this year, I made a DIY headboard (you can see it in these photos) for my apartment using just plywood, foam, and polyester batting. It completely transformed my studio and made my “bedroom” area look so much more put together and grown up. In typical blogger fashion, I’m already looking to change up the look of the headboard by using a lighter and more neutral-colored fabric. While I was doing research for color schemes, I came across the top image of a half-moon headboard. I’m so in love with the unique, statement making shape. Plus, it’s also easily DIY-able.

I trolled the internet for more arched headboards and was not disappointed by the results. Click through to see the rest! I particularly like the idea of a painted semi-circle headboard over your regular headboard, since you’d get the best of both worlds, and could easily paint over it again!

DECOR INSPIRATION: WOODEN SOFAS

08.27.19

Sofas are probably the most important element in a living room. The best sofa is stylish, functional, and comfortable. As someone who works from home, I spend way too much time sitting on my sofa while working, and lounging while watching Netflix. If I was sitting on one of these wooden sofas, I would probably feel less guilty about not working from a desk and chair. There is something so elegant about the simplicity of these wooden sofas. And based on number eight, it’s totally possible to DIY one for yourself!  Read More →

DIYS TO TRY FOR EARTH DAY

04.22.19

Happy Earth Day!! Ever since moving out on my own and being so aware of the things I have to buy, I was surprised by how much waste I produce. Lately, I’ve been trying to swap out some everyday items with more sustainable options. I recently bought a silicon sponge for washing dishes that is supposed to last much longer than a typical sponge. (Silicon sponges also don’t hold bacteria like a regular sponge.) I also started using cloth makeup wipes and they are honestly much more gentle on my skin. Changes like these may seem small, but they add up to a more sustainable life!

I’ve gathered some green DIYS for more inspiration. I’ll definitely make the beeswax wraps and bowl covers for my kitchen! Click through to see all the DIYS! Read More →

DOWEL BED BENCH DIY

Dowel Bed Bench DIY

My apartment is really starting to come along! All I have left to do is make some decor pieces for the space above my couch, reupholster a chair (easier said than done), and make endless covers for all my throw pillows. In order to make my bedroom area look more put together, I wanted a bench for the end of my bed. I decided on making my own wooden dowel bed bench, similar to the side table from a few weeks ago.

As timing would have it, I was asked to join a handful of other bloggers for a “Make It Challenge” inspired by the NBC show “Making It”. We challenged each other to use the same crafting item in a DIY. We settled on unfinished wood. This challenge was so fun, and I feel so lucky to be in the company of such inspiring bloggers! Check out their projects!!

Now I’m thinking I need a bigger apartment to fit in all these DIY ideas because they are so good! Click through to see more of each project!
