Modern House Minimalist Design

One of my favorite projects of past was the Ballard inspired French document.   The CSI Project   is having a Mod Podge challenge and I have added this project to the competition.   Amy from   Mod Podge Rocks   is the guest judge this week and you have to check out all the great projects she does with Mod Podge. This was my inspiration for the project. My project cost $422.75 less than the original!   You can see how I made this along with a cost breakdown  here . I love how it turned out! Thanks to  The CSI Project  for hosting this competition. Please drop by to see all the creative projects using Mod Podge.

Simply said... I made this little sign out of a piece of scrap wood from the back yard.  So easy. Linking up over at Keeping It Simple and The DIY Showoff

I want to thank you for all the sweet comments on my Restoration Hardware look-a-like table.  You guys are the absolute best!  I can't begin to tell you how much I appreciate your friendship and support. If you have read my blog for any time at all you know I prefer to decorate on a budget and thrive on finding that fantastic bargain.  I like having nice things in our home but I have found so much of the expensive decor can be duplicated or purchased for a lot less money.  That being said I want to show you what I spent to put  together the look in my previous post .  Here's the breakdown. The table is a copy of a $1295 Restoration Hardware one. As I mentioned in my previous post I found the identical table at Roomstore for $379. The mirror I found at Anthropologie at 70% off.  I have seen this same mirror priced at $300 other places.  I paid $62.00. Wisteria had some gorgeous prints in a mirrored frame for $150 each.  I loved them ...

  More and more architects are integrating steel windows and doors in their designs. The advantage of using steel windows and doors is, that it ables designers to create slim profiles and frames to achieve the right proportions. Steel windows allow a room to be filled with the maximum amount of light and is creating a closer connection with the exterior or the garden. The combination of steel

  More and more architects are integrating steel windows and doors in their designs. The advantage of using steel windows and doors is, that it ables designers to create slim profiles and frames to achieve the right proportions. Steel windows allow a room to be filled with the maximum amount of light and is creating a closer connection with the exterior or the garden. The combination of steel windows and wooden doors, or vice versa, is wonderful. The images here will illusrate this.     Source A brick floor in combination with the steel windows and door.     Source The lines of the window are more or less repeated in the steel frame of the coffee table.   Source   Source A close connection with the landscape outside.     Source Again a combination of steel and brick.     Source Love this door!     Steel windows are very comfortable to use in an orangery or in a c...

What's so cool about blogging is that I have found soooo many people who love old stuff.  We see the beauty of what it was and what it still can be. Let me confess though...I didn't always love old.  My mother tried for years to get me to appreciate the beauty and value of age and patina and of the memory that something holds. Now that I am "older", I have truly learned to appreciate exactly what she was always trying to teach me. Better late than never, I now would rather have antiques, fancy junque, not so fancy junk, refurbished, aged, even broken pieces in my house than things that are from a department store.  Really, I would. So, today when I saw that Donna at Funky Junk Interiors  was hosting and "Old" party, I knew I was in.  Even if I didn't have anything to post, I would still be looking at  what everyone else is showing.  This is our party, friends, to look at beautiful, wonderful, unique "OLD STUFF".  I can't wait!  Make sure...

This is a creative apartment. This apartment interior designed by Dutch architect, It features two floors and four people living there. Thank you for using lasers to cut the original panel in the kitchen and other parts of the apartment, the interior looks quite creative and unusual. In addition to laser-cut panels are also other things that make it unique, including a built-in storage solutions

for a long time i've wondered what i could do with my blog. you hear about so many people having wildly successful blogs, some even go on to be made into movies.....like "julie & julia", which i absolutely loved! i think it would be wonderful to be that successful and i know i would love that, because i get very lonely on my own so much, wishing i had more contact with people (i'm looking for a job right now). hearing from people on my blog is always so exciting......someone out there is actually interested in me and listening to me! but mostly, i think it would mean more to me to touch people's hearts......to actually help someone feel better in their day, in their life. if i could do something that would really benefit someone else, that would be good, to me. i'd feel like i was doing something truely meaningful and real. so i thought i would start sharing some thoughts with you, whoever you are out there who reads my blog, occasionally, every day, whate...
