The Makings of a Closet
Inch by inch, I’m making progress in my office. Since I’m painting all of the walls, I had to do some rearranging of furniture. As I mentioned in another post, this little nook in my entryway is going to become a prop closet of sorts. Instead of installing wall mounted shelves, I’m using two metal shelves that I previously used in the gift shoppe for holding merchandise. They fit perfectly! I’m actually a huge fan of these shelves.
recycle project no. 14 - drawer organizer
I saved a couple of cereal boxes a while back and today I used them to make a drawer organizer. Everything in the drawers of a small Ikea drawer unit I have slide back and forth and I was getting tired of that. I love the neutral colors of Muji stationery supplies and that was a tiny inspiration too. The first thing I made was a basic box that is as wide as the inside of the drawer.

upholstery basics: upholstered walls, part 1
When we gathered here last time, we turned an uninspired coffee table into a boxed ottoman, and January brought us boxed cushion sewing. This month, I thought we’d think inside the box for a change and tackle one of the biggest upholstery projects to cross my path: upholstered walls! About a month ago, I moved into a house that my hubby and I have been renovating for over a year. There’s still a lot left to finish, but my current project is transforming the master suite into a serene, shimmery boudoir. Alas!
Centsational Girl & Blog Archive & DIY Craft: Yarn Wrapped Frames
Whenever I pass the knitting section in the craft or specialty fabric stores and spy all of the beautiful yarns, I wish that I had the skill to knit so I could put those gorgeous threads to good use. Unfortunately, I don’t knit at all. Then I had an idea to use yarn in a decorative way, by wrapping it around some homemade frames and creating some original wall mirrors for a blank wall space. With this project, I started out with every intention of making two wall mirrors, but in the end, I left one frame as is, just because I like it better that way. We had a very blank wall between two windows for the longest time and I finally decided to add some decor. I already had the shelf, the pitcher, and the vintage Audubon print.
Home Cinema furniture you cannot buy anywhere (HCfycba)
Introduction: Space is tight in a small condo, so I wanted some slick and small TV-furniture to go with my home cinema stuff. There are some options readily available, but they are either rather expensiv or just don't perfectly fit my needs. So I thought about how I want my set up to look like and went to work. My main focus was to make the "furniture" slim so that it doesn't extend into the living room so much (it gives the room a larger appearance) and it shouldn't look like a piece of "off the shelf" furniture. I wanted it to become a design element of the room. I hope this is not getting too long or boring, but I went with the photo instructable rather than the step-by-step type just because I forgot to document the project properly.

Looking for the Faux Metal Wall Art? Since this project was originally published on The Sitcom in December 2010, it has been my most popular project by far. Who knew that a bunch of toilet paper tubes and an idea would become so big?
What A Difference a Day Curtain Makes: Window Treatment Basics
Previous image Next image I recently decided to make a curtain for our living room. In a typical display of indecisiveness I spent several weeks choosing a fabric. I ordered it, it came and I was raring to go until I realized I actually had more decisions to make: what kind of curtain? how long?
