I’ve seen so many fantastic DIYs this week! Kate’s hairpin leg desk is last, but certainly not least. And it only costs around $100. The wood stain is gorgeous.

I’m so head over heels for the tea towels from zakka nouveau that I want to wear them as scarves. Kitchen linens as couture.

My newly chopped blunt bangs, essie’s poppy red Lacquered Up polish, and some serious black eyeliner are making me feel quite French today. The oatmeal I ate for breakfast did not. I bet this Honey Tartine from Anne of Pret a Voyager could change all that. {via the kitchn}
• ficelle (or baguette), cut in half and toasted
• generous pats of French butter
• gobs of honey
• sprinkling of flake salt
Toast bread to desired doneness. Spread with butter, honey and sprinkle with a little salt.

Glass bubble chandeliers are the light fixture of the moment, they’re everywhere. And they’re pricey. Unless you want to dedicate some time and about $70 to throw together your own. This tutorial from Small Notebook makes it seem totally doable, right now I’m picturing a half-size version for my tiny foyer. {via paper n stitch}

I love to be organized on paper, even though nine times out of ten it doesn’t translate over to my real life. (It’s the thought that counts, right??) This morning I received an awesome package from Knock Knock with their Around the House Tablet, Vs. Journal, and Life Log that made my day. I’ve long been a fan of their smart and witty organizational tools and can’t wait to put these new pieces to work for me.

I already know that one pEi pod would not be enough in our house, there would have to be three. Two cats and a dog would definitely not fit into one of these cave-like structures without a fight. My favorite part aside from the modern shape? The cushion options!
Posted In create, petsWatercolor has always been an extremely fascinating medium to me, most likely because it’s one I’ve failed to master even after repeated attempts. The combination of extreme control mixed with wreckless abandon is incredibly beautiful, so I’ve been really happy to see it being used more often in recent months. It’s also inspired me to pick up my paints and give it one more shot…

I never did the Girl Scout thing, but I remember how satisfying it felt to get a sticker on my homework or a gold star on my chore chart for a job well done. There’s something to be said about positive reinforcement, and I doubt it’s only me thinking adulthood really isn’t all that easy. Check out these merit badges from Disorderly Goods, twelve embroidered badges for things like “using your powers for good, not evil” and “giving a shit”. Super smart.
