DIY ... mantel but no fireplace

Do you have any spare space on the wall? I bet you do.
Well, why don't use a mantel shelf as a beautiful focal point you can redecorate every now and then? there's no reason not to...because you don't have to have a fireplace. I found you a close up of Erin's gorgeous foyer update.

how to use old drawers...

Hello my friends...

I thought you would like this idea of using drawers for other purposes beside the usual. The best part is the very low cost. For example,to make this night stand/extra storage all you need is four legs in any material, paint and if you want some drawer handles

vintage pottery plus my presents...

Almost a month ago I got a very special present from my mother-in-law. I was so thrilled,because it came so sudden and without any special reason...which makes it even greater. I felt like she read my posts about pottery and Eddie Ross's flea market finds
It is a set of vintage hundred-years-old plates carried in my husband's family. They are so beautiful, and very heavy,litterarly :)

what a sweet and girly room...

my projects..eclectic wall clock

  Finally I have permission to show you clock made of music record...and how it looks finished. Those who are following me from the start, read the post where I showed the sneak peak of my little and sweet project

When my father started renovating our family house,there were lots of things undiscovered,collecting dust. Among them were some old records which no one will ever listen. Don't worry,I saved a few of them worth saving.
We decided that nobody will need this record of Paloma Blanca (have YOU ever heard of them?)...and since my sister's room was in progress I suggested to make a wall clock out of it..as a present.
I had in mind from the start to put some Japanese inspired motif, as I know how much she loves the style.
Unfortunately, my father and his wife decided to decorate her room in totally different direction (while she was away)...so at least she has something she can carry with herself...

birch trees in your bedroom...how lovely...

Do you people love transformations? before and after pictures? I bet you do...and I'm sorry this post isn't going to be about transformation I made :(
Thank God I am subscribed to YoungHouseLove, because I love their Reader Redesign... I discovered some of the most beautiful blogs out there,thanks to Youngsters
Today brand new discover for me is Fresh Crush, wonderful inspirational blog,where I found very smart DIY ideas. You should check it out...
The reason I am writing this post is the way Jen decorated nursery. Maybe you already know, I love drawings on the wall (like this one as inspiration for my bedroom)...something like vinyl decals but more personal and home made.
So,this time I was inspired with Jen's birch tree wall mural
