DIY Tissue Tassel Mobile for a Nursery

1 Comment

When I found out my very good friend Britany Simon (yes, the fabulous HGTV design star and killer interior designer) was expecting her first baby I knew that the nursery was going to be nothing but stellar. I saw this idea to use the tissue tassels as a mobile and asked Brit if I could use my DIY skills to make one for her little girl’s room, she happily agreed! The bold colors and pop of metallic (you wouldn’t expect anything less from a Britany Simon design) adds the perfect amount of glam & drama for the centerpiece of the room. I just love the way it turned out!

Remember the very first tutorial video I made, the tissue tassel garland!?! You can use this same technique to make your very own mobile. Just in case you don’t want to do it yourself, I’m happy to do it for you! Check out the custom listing on my Etsy store.

3 Ways to Wear A Dark Wine Lip Color

Leave a comment

I’m in NYC this week and the snow has me all bundled up! I think the best way to add some style, while packing on the layers, is with a bold lip. I’m totally digging the latest dark lip trend, ease into it by just using a gloss or go all out with a stain. Keep the rest of the face minimal and just add a winged eyeliner.

Here are the products I used in the video:

Curb Appeal: How to Repaint a Front Door

1 Comment

After 2 years, I’m finally doing updates to the outside of my house. First up, repainting the front door a fire engine red. I’m usually not a fan of red, but I love this Benjamin Moore color called Ruby Red. I will admit it took me a few days (okay…maybe a few weeks) to get use to the color. My great-grandpa was a fire chief and my mom loved firemen, so this color brings back so many memories and puts a smile on my face every day I walk out the door.

The new color looks lovely, especially after you leave your keys in the front door overnight!

What do you do with all those cards you receive throughout the year? Mine just get stored in a box. Do you store them or trash them? I decided to repurpose those cards and create some really special artwork. Learn all the details on how to make your own with this video. P.S. Sorry the music is a little loud!
