DIY Dreamcatcher Wall Decor

The day before my hall bathroom reveal post was going live, I decided that the room needed another piece of wall art. I was inspired by the cute pom-pom strewn "dreamcatchers" by Maggie Holmes Design. The style of this dreamcatcher is really simple to make. It doesn't feature the weaving found in a traditional dreamcatcher, but it's still very pretty. Dreamcatcher Supplies Wood Embroidery Hoop Antique White Continue reading...

Decorating a Living Room Bay Window

By

I received the pillows described in this post for free in exchange for my honest review. A few years ago my husband and I had a bay window installed in our living room. For a while, I was unsure as to how to dress up the window. I have been meaning to make a custom window seat cushion for the space, but haven't gotten around to it yet! In the meantime, I've found a much easier (and quicker) way to dress up a bay window. At first, I only had a simple cushion that I had sewed on the window seat. At the time, the cushion matched the color scheme of the curtains that I had in the Continue reading...
