Mirror Mirror On The Wall

Question: What to do when you desperately need a mirror for your living room but can't find one in the size or price you need? Answer: You make your own.

Before:

Materials used: Malma mirrors from Ikea. $2.99 each and adhesive tape

Almost there: I butted 20 mirrors (around 10"x10" together).

 I liked the overall look but decided I wanted something bigger.

After: 30 Malma mirrors later...

Chevron Stripes...my newest obsession

Chevron stripes are my new obsession. I fell in love after ordering this dress on eBay.

I kept thinking to myself, "How cool would it be if I had curtains in this pattern?". Maybe I'm not as cool as I think I am because chevron curtains aren't mainstream yet. After searching high and low, I found a website selling the fabric in the exact color, pattern and material I wanted. After three hours with thirteen yards of fabric, 10 yards of HeatnBond tape and a steam iron, I had three pairs of window panels ready to hang in my living room.

Pillows, Pillows, Pillows! Oh My!

I found some old and quite dated toss pillows in the garage. They belonged to my mother. I could either use them as is (yeech), let them collect dust in storage or throw them out. I decided to keep them but I gave them a mini makeover. I was able to make non-sew pillow covers using three yards of fabric from Premier Prints, a roll of no sew adhesive tape and a steam iron. Whoever invented HeatnBond tape...you are a genius!
