Budget wedding ideas, Spokane wedding venues | Apple Brides I received an e-mail a couple weeks ago from a very sweet bride asking me a very real and honest question. Can you plan a decent wedding in the Spokane area for $5,000-$6,000? We’re getting very real here at Apple Brides today! Firstly, I have to preface this with saying that I firmly believe weddings are worth spending money on, an opinion I’ve fought for ever since I joined the industry. But I also firmly believe that money, in itself, does not make a good wedding and that you can celebrate your marriage without breaking the bank. Image by Flat 4 Photography Here was the e-mail I received… “I would like to ask you a realistic question, do you think that it’s possible to throw a decent wedding on a budget of $5,000 possible $6,000? My reply… In short, yes, I do think you can have a wedding for $5-6,000, but I think you have to reevaluate your priorities and perceptions of a “wedding”. What are our top 3 priorities for our wedding? Here are some more ideas: Keep the guest list small. DIY.
The Bedside Bookmark Abode...Or, How to Make a Tiny, Adorable Wooden House Curbly-Original There are a few things that simply seem to belong on a bedside table: a lamp, alarm clock, perhaps a pair of glasses, and a few magazines or books. Then, once you add a few personal items (mine usually include a crossword puzzle or two and a glass of water), and there's not a lot of extra space for any accessories or "decor" items. So, I wanted to make something to add a little bit of fun and style, but that doesn't take up too much prime nightstand real estate or interfere with the other items.And so, you see the results above: an alternative take on the bookmark (which I never seem to use anyway), in the form of a clean, Scandinavian-style wooden home. If using it to support your books isn't your thing, no worries. 1) I began with a 4" x 6" x 14" block of reclaimed wood (basswood, I think) that I found in the scrap aisle of my local Habitat for Humanity Restore. ...and come up with a nice, square usuable block: 2. Then, I cut the out the roof shape: 3. 4. How fun!

Design Itch: Before & After: Office Chair Update This weekend I gave our comfortable yet eye-sore-of-an-office chair a make-over. Here's the chair's mug-shots: I started by taping off the wheels and fabric chair seat and then using two cans of Valspar's Rigid Plastic Spray Paint to paint the plastic black frame a vibrant red. I figure if I am going to breath new life into this chair I should go for it, so there is nothing subtle about this solution. I then used one yard of indoor/outdoor fabric I picked up at Jo Anne Fabrics for $9 to re-cover the chair's seat and back. To re-upholster the chair back I laid a 1/2 yard of fabric over the back, tucked it into the chair frame at the top and using Scotch Super 77 Multi-Purpose spray adhesive (it is amazing and dries quick!) Spray, smooth, tuck! I did use some painters tape around the frame of the chair so the adhesive wouldn't get on it, as that would have left a horrible sticky residue. For the seat I loosened the bottom portion of the seat to leave room to tuck fabric. -Griffin
