I’m in possession of a jewelry stand that is shaped like a branch, and it’s quite possibly one of my favorite possessions. But an actual branch display to hold all of your baubles and bling? One that you can make yourself on the cheap? Priceless.

Completely and utterly obsessed with this “Motley Missoni” bathroom paint job. Neither of mine has a wall long enough to execute such a slammin’ look, but I’ve definitely filed this one away for future inspiration! {via Apartment Therapy}
I love these t-shirt aprons for about 10 zillion reasons.
1. They’re super cute. (Obviously.)
2. They’re easy to make.
3. They’re a great way to save that favorite tee that’s gotten holey.
4. Or take advantage of a great t-shirt sale
5. They’d make an awesome gift.
Okay, five. Five reasons I cannot go on without one.

Hey: Sunday is the last day to sign up for this year’s Calendar Swap! Get on the ball or miss out until next October. (And possibly be wandering around for an entire year in the meantime, clueless as to what month or day it is. But you know, your choice…)

I’m completely off the ball this year when it comes to pumpkins. I had the best intentions of getting mine a few weekends ago, but then got sick and not thinking about pumpkins so much. I’m hoping today’s the day. And since carving jack o’ lanterns can be time consuming I’ve decided to go this route, that of the Mod Pumpkin. Some poster paint (or tempera), masking or painters tape, and they’ll be good to go! {via Happy Mundane}

Is this National Awesome DIY Project Week? Why didn’t anyone tell me?! I’ve come across some of the very best do-it-yourself projects ever over the past few days. Today it’s all about decorative arrows. I know you’ve seen them, priced them, then most likely run screaming for the hills. Lucky for us, Danielle Thompson took it upon herself to put together this phenomenal tutorial featuring three different types of arrow designs. I’ve got it bookmarked for one of those long winter days that are just around the corner.

Pixel Girl is where I’m drawing this year’s Halloween costume inspiration from. Do you think it’s okay to dress up for Halloween when you’re 75? Because I probably still will.

I’m all about browns and peachy hues this fall, they’re warm and feminine while remaining subtle. I’m also all about ruffles in moderation. And making things that look straight out of Anthropologie. Case in point, this DIY Ruffle Necklace. Obviously you could use whatever sorts of colors or patterns you’d like, but I’m partial to this version. {via 100 Layer Cake}
