I found this great example of taking tacky dated flea market finds and transforming them into something funky and modern with a little bit of vision and paint.

I saw this DIY project in Redbook last month and had to share it with you.  Simply take 5-7 glass bottles and remove their labels.  Using glue dots from Michaels and heavy-stock wrapping or scrapbook paper, you can create these lovely bottle vases.  They are so cute on their own, they only need a few blossoms!    Use these to jazz up a side table or as a centerpiece for your dinner table.  Have a wonderful weekend!

Do you want your space to feel calming and balanced?  If you do, it’s important to introduce a sense of symmetry in the room.  People who enter a room that is arranged in a symmetrical manner will often describe it as peaceful.  And who isn’t looking to create that kind of feeling in their home?

I’ve been pondering turquoise and red as a pairing.   Together, they are a brave duo that livens up any boring space.
