DIY Project: No Sew Curtains


Metal clips (I have some from Ikea--love 'em!)


Metal grommets + rayon cording


Vintage (or vintage inspired) metal decor clips


Metal grommets + wall hooks


Buttons + ribbon


Iron-on fusing tape

Call me artistic, say I'm crafty, but do not count sewing among my talents. I've tried...and failed. Handwork, yes, but sewing machines wish for legs to run fast and far if I am near. Trust me, I'm not making this up. Two lovely words: NO SEW. All these ideas look quick, easy and appealing. Now the only thing you need to do is hunt down the fabric or, even better, ready made panels!

DIY Project: Home Hardware

You've seen it on HGTV...they do it all the time. Freshing up a room--kitchen, bath, etc--by changing the door and drawer hardware. They often liken it to a woman wearing different jewelry to update her style. These are some lovely "jewelry" pieces I found that remind me that spring and summer are on their way. See the link below for my source and to play with a super-fun virtual design tool!
