My Modern California Boho Bedroom Makeover: A Tour & Inspiration
I recently remodeled my bedroom and I'm really happy with the way it turned out. I love the fresh white walls and pops of color. I guess I would call my style as Modern California Boho.
Upcycling Glass Bottle
Anyone who knows me knows I can go through a good share of wine bottles each month. While I do recycle my bottles, I often wonder how much of my recyclables are actually recycled properly. With so much talk on climate change lately I feel I need to do a lot more on my part. So being a huge DIYer I tried to come up with a few upcycling ideas for glass bottles that are both stylish and environmentally friendly.
Concrete DIYs
I’ve been wanting to do something with concrete for a long time now. Concrete DIY's have been trending for a while now and I know this idea might be a little outdated, but I wanted to still give it a shot anyway.
DIY Wood Block Photo Stand
I love all the products from Artifact Uprising. I’ve made several photobooks for my close friends and they are always a hit. I especially love this wood block they sell along with photo prints. Since I prefer the photobook rather than prints, I decided to make my own wood block photo stand for my photobook.
DIY Clay Dishes
I took a ceramics class a few years back and I’ve always wanted get back into it, but for the lack of time and money I just haven’t. In the meantime, I thought I could use clay to make some simple objects. I love the little trays, bowls and objects from places like Anthropologie, Urban Outfitters, West Elm etc. and took some of their designs as inspiration. I love how simple this DIY is and you can really personalize these dishes to your own personality or to friends.
DIY Notebook Cover
I have a confession to make. I have an over the top obsession with notebooks. I am a total list maker and note taker. I can’t imagine how life would be without notebooks and little papers with notes thrown around my house. I’m also a sucker for really cutely design notebooks and cannot deny myself a walk down the notebook aisle at target. Sometimes I can’t even remember which notebook I wrote a particular list in.
DIY Gemstone Jewelry
Gem Stones bring a lot of different types of positive energy into our lives. Here is a simple way to make a pretty piece of jewelry that will represent your good vibes.
DIY Blanket Strap
I know summer is officially over and you probably have all your outdoor activities out of your system, but I feel like the beginning of every season bring a new list of outdoor activities to check off. Whether it be pumpkin picking or long walks through the woods, there is always time to plop down, have a picnic and experience the changing of the leaves.
Shibori Tie Dye Techniques
Tie Dye is a trend that seems to always come and go and come back again. This summer I noticed it popping up again not only in fashion but in interior design. I thought by adding some tie dye pillows and maybe some tapestries would give my back patio a cute boho vibe, so I did a little research into how to get these designs.
Homemade Artisan Bread
Processed bread is always one of those foods that is always on the top of those “what never to eat” list. Processed bread is loaded with preservative that are so difficult for your body to digest which then turn into fat. On top of all that, personally I have never really liked the taste of store bought bread. I've been making my own for a while now. I've tried several different recipes and techniques and this one is by far the easiest and the best tasting. Give it a try! I promise, you can't mess it up.
