Oh we're getting close now. I feel awful I haven't been able to post content lately (life just takes over sometimes). As our world is headed into more unpredictable times I'm thinking our holidays will again look a bit different. That being said,  I thought I'd share a fun different idea for your Christmas dinner table and share all the details of how to create a low boho Christmas table (also a great idea for a unique kids table). There's always something fun about sitting on pillows on the floor and eating a delicious meal at a low table, festive picnic style if you will (maybe it's the change in view and the casualness).

You'll never believe it but I created this entire boho Christmas table with stuff around the house, dollar store items and this fun DIY Chunky Yarn Christmas trees I made previously. I made the table from a TV box (might not be the best for a heavy turkey but worked okay for pizza with the kids). The items I picked up from the dollar store included; table clothes, napkins, lights, pillow cases and ribbon. My kids were big fans of the string lights.

 The holidays are upon us and I have to admit we've been a bit behind on the decorating this year but I always love sharing a few DIYs during the Christmas season. Today I'm sharing a quick DIY chunky yarn Christmas tree which is basically a dollar store hack. This easy and affordable project would make the perfect hostess gift.

I picked up a few of the tinsel holiday trees from the dollar store and removed the red sparkly garland. To be honest I don't hate the sparkle I just don't love red for some reason.

We're bringing you this fun little bathroom makeover because it's long overdue and we've got a fun DIY to go with it. To be honest, it wasn't until I made this cute DIY towel ring holder that I got excited to write about the bathroom renovation overall. It was very much a spur of the moment renovation decision which doesn't always work. I usually have a fully thought-out moodboard, 3d rendering and finishing selections but with this renovation it was different. My husband hired the tiler to come in, start demo and I had a day to choose tile. Sometimes jumping in and flying by the seat of your pants works and sometimes it doesn't. We got lucky with this one lol.

A few weeks ago we chatted about plaster and it being a hot new trend in interior design, everything from tables to vases to candlesticks. With it's cool white hues and chalky texture it's easy to see why people are loving plaster. Plaster can elevate any space and take it to the coast of California. Today we're sharing an easy idea to make some plaster accents for your home specifically DIY mid century plaster candlestick holders. The best part of this DIY is that the mold is made from recycled materials so be sure to use what's in your recycling bin, they'll be a great conversation starter at your next dinner party. 

Do you have a nostalgic love for dollhouses? When I was little I loved making dollhouses and I loved making dollhouse furniture out of anything and everything (no joke, I use to make side tables from those white plastic pizza savers). I had a few pieces of real toy furniture but I really preferred to make it. I suppose that's where my love of DIY and Interior Design started. When my boys were small I built them a DIY play kitchen from scratch, needless to say I had more fun making it than they did playing with it and I eventually sold it online. Today I'm sharing another DIY bucket list project, my Modern DIY dollhouse (no, my boys didn't play with this one either but we passed it onto a family friend so it'll get some use).

There's nothing like turning up the Christmas music, putting on the fire and decorating the table for Christmas dinner. And, while we may not be able to have our extended family over for the Holidays this year, we can still make our immediate family table look beautiful.  Today we're sharing a Modern Cozy Holiday Tablescape in partnership with Kitchen Stuff Plus. I love the Christmas selection at Kitchen Stuff Plus, so many different looks and styles, they really are the go-to destination for Christmas!  Plus their Click & Collect process is super quick and easy (perfect for shopping during these weird times).

I always laugh when I think about the original design plan for our AirBnB, we were going for a Florida Keys feel but as we got settled and bought some stuff it's taken on a much more Polynesian vibe which I'm totally here for. I think it was solidified when I made this easy DIY cane inspired headboard. 

Move over pea coats and bombers, there's a hot new jacket in town, the rattan jacket ... for your glassware. Before you spit out your mulled wine hear me out; they come in many shapes and sizes and depending what you pair them with they can change entire the tone of a dinner party. Consider using them to serve a London fog on a rainy evening or a mimosa in the morning, these rattan accoutrements add a little something extra. There's a beautiful seagrass-wrapped pitcher from Anthropologie or check out the Caymen set from Sarena & Lily or the Cane Highball from William Sonoma. And if these don't suit your wallet keep reading and learn how to make them yourself. Today I'm sharing how to jump on this season's hottest trend and make your own seagrass-wrapped glasses.

If you're like me you have a couple bunches of pampas grass throughout your home and if you're like me you've found it tricky to keep these billowing beauties from shedding all over the place. Since my love for pampas grass doesn't seem to be going away any time soon I decided to try a little faux version of my own using yarn keeping all the beauty of regular pampas grass without the mess. Here is my DIY faux pampas grass with yarn tutorial.

Things are a bit strange right now. It feels like a long Christmas break or lingering summer vacation. The kids are home, the husband is home and there's nowhere to go. We are living in the age of social distancing and staying home. Scary times. Suffice to say I've been going a bit squirrely so I decided to channel this energy into something creative with this DIY boho wall decor with dried grass.


Making this cute bohemian wall art was fairly easy and the required supplies were minimal. I used some dried grass and reeds I picked up during our family walk a few days ago, some modeling clay from the dollar store, wire and wax paper.


Then I pressed my dried grass into the clay like rays of sunshine. Once I got the look I was going for I added another semi-circle of clay on top and sealed off the edges. Finally I secured a piece of wire in the clay to hang it after it dried.




I contemplated painting the clay but in the end I decided I liked the rustic natural look, I think it helps add to that bohemian feel of the wall decor.
