Quick Updates for the Home

When household items need some spicing up but you lack the time to do it, you don't have to push the ideas aside. Maybe a small revision is more appropriate and manageable. Better Homes and Gardens shares some inspiration with 22 Weekend Home Decorating Projects - some interesting, some not - but surely worth a look. Here are some other ideas on how to update home goods without breaking the bank and devoting hours to a task.

Use Wood or Stone on top of file cabinets
Add new crystals to an old or boring chandelier
Paint closet doors:

Black and White Classy

Good for a kid's room

Match the closet to the walls and accessories.

Accent small spaces with bright colors.

Skirt to Wear and Website to View

After bothering a co-worker/friend to teach me how to make the cool skirts she wore to work, I got the opportunity to do it this summer. The Sangria and Skirts Party was most definitely a success. I am thrilled with the result and thrilled that I actually made something I can wear. For more info on the pattern we used, visit Linda's website, Linda's Other Life.
