I’ve been seeing rainbow motifs popping up more and more lately in really interesting color palettes and exaggerated shapes. And since it’s been almost a year since last summer’s painter’s stripe purse, I thought it was time for this squircle to get the makeover treatment

You know when you stumble upon something new and then that idea just completely takes over your imagination? That’s how I felt when I first saw Kuba cloth. Kuba cloth is a traditional textile from the Kuba culture and has been quietly appearing across the interior design world

Way back in elementary school, I use to take the red wax from cheese snacks to make miniature zoos, upgraded to air dry clay to make tiny Barbie meals, and eventually found my way to polymer clay when I decided DIY novelty food earrings was the way to spice up my high school uniform. My Pinterest boards are full of terracotta color & texture and I love that it’s an easy, DIY-able material. Depending on what type of cup you use, you may have to tape the cling wrap to the inside of the cup to keep it in place. I LOVE the dark grey against the terracotta and now I want to hide match strikers all over the place.

I compared prices for just replacing the whole vanity with built-in sinks (IKEA has some great options! ) versus buying pre-cut bathroom countertops form Lowe’s or Home Depot versus doing all the countertops in the entire home at once and using the same quartz we wanted in the kitchen in the bathrooms. Going from a cinder block literally cemented to the wall to this matte black toilet paper holder that matches the new cabinet pulls perfectly brings our little powder room up to resort level luxury. I also wanted to do a dramatic wallpaper on the main wall as an unexpected backdrop to the print. so I just painted the main wall on the right and the left sink wall to keep eyes scanning between the two farthest points in the room to trick the brain into thinking the space was larger.
