My Dream Home...

I love black and white decor. I love very neutral decor as is evident from my home and my bedroom. I love that I can always add hints of colour in my accessories. I love adding details of brass, gold and silver to an all black and white house. I love Kelly's 1300 square foot home with her beau Greg and I love that it looks expensive but that it's actually not (well not all of it!) have a look...

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE

New Table...

Thanks to a tip form Kerry I ordered this beautiful accordion style side table from HOMESAV and it finally arrived in the mail! I've been playing around with where it should go, and I finally decided on a small vingette in the entrance hall. It may end up somewhere else in the new year but for now it works!

Zebra print coasters...diy

Okay so I've been on a DIY kick lately. I had bought some fabric from Tonic Living a while ago and it's literally been sitting in my closet waiting to be used so I came up with two DIY's.

First are these coasters, they are super easy to make...

I bought the cork in a round shape from the dollar store, the fabric is from Tonic Living and the laminating sheets are from Walmart. You will also need a glue gun and glue sticks.

(I forgot to take pictures of the process) you basically trace your round cork onto the fabric, then cut out the shape you just traced. Then take your laminating sheets and laminate your fabric! Yes you need to do this to protect the fabric from the condensation from the drinks. You can also use heavy duty specialty printed paper and skip the laminating step, either way just make sure if your coaster gets wet that it doesn't get ruined! Final step is to cut out the round piece of fabric that you just laminated this will detach it from the laminating sheet, hot glue it onto the circular pieces of cork and voila instant chic!

The second DIY is some table runners in the same fabric. All I really did was decide on a length I liked then I cut and used a no sew tape ( also found at the dollar store) to make my clean edges, although you could also fray the edges for a less polished look.
