Well, it's taken me a little longer than I thought it would to finish my next project, my coffee table. I'm so EXCITED for it to be completed. In the meantime though, I've been finding new(-to-me) decor to go with the coffee table.... and for the rest of the living room.

I already had a lamp shade on hand so with a couple coats of black spray paint I had a brand new-to-me lamp. |

I'm not sure what it is but it does make a nice side table. |

I used rope and instructions from a video on YouTube. Look up Monkey Knot and you should find instructions. This same item is sold on BallardDesigns.com for $45! |

My grandparents gave me this plant... unfortunately I stopped into a craft store after leaving their house on a hot sunny day. To say the least it was not very happy by the time we made it home. |

I found these tiles on clearance at Lowe's for $.33 each. Transformed them into Custom Coasters. |

More twigs???..... no, these are actually small trees. I spent the weekend out in the country at my mom's and we were able to find two fairly straight 6 foot trees. My plan for them? Check out my No Sew Curtainsand Window Treatment to see how I used them. |
Thanks for stopping by!

I'm thrilled to share my step-by-step directions, the good and the bad,
these are intended for your personal use. I'm always happy to hear and
see what my bloggers have been working on. BUT a lot of work goes into
these creations and while I have no issues sharing so you are able to
create the work for your precious homes please understand that selling
an exact duplication of my designs is highly frowned upon. :( Please
always be considerate of another artists work. Thank you!***
