One-Lump-Or-Two

I know I'm not the only one out there who loves the lamps from Anthropologie, but really doesn't have a few hundred dollars to dish out for them.  The One-Lump-Or-Two lamp has been on my wishlist for what feels like years, with no sight of a sale coming any time soon. The next best thing? Look for a DIY!



Isn't her version so pretty? I actually might like it better then the Anthro version, but that might be because I'm doing my new room in white, gray and yellow.

Here is the entire tutorial - which actually looks pretty do-able.  I'd love to hear if you have recreated this lamp and have any other tips!

Lace decoupage

Modge Podge is going to become my favorite new craft item! The first time I ever used it was for my tile project below, and since have been searching for different ways to use it. This is my favorite by far!


Aren't these beautiful! I really am a sucker for anything lace.  I'd really like to make a whole drinking glass set out of these, but don't think that's very safe. Maybe I'll just settle for a few vases!

I'm moving tomorrow and have already started a few projects for my room.
Cant wait to share them with you!

Tile Coasters

I was on Pinterest and found a link on how to make these cute coasters:



I really NEVER use coasters, but was feeling a little crafty and wanted to do something easy...And these were easy!



All you need:

tiles (these are slightly bigger than 4x4)
Scrap book paper in 4"x4" sheets
modge podge
a sealing spray
felt circles for the bottom of the tile.

How to:

Cover the tiles with the modge podge and place paper in center. Smooth out the paper then add more modge podge over the paper, covering the tile.  Once dry, spray the tile with a sealant and add felt circles to the bottom of the tile.
