Now that Autumn is beginning to rear it's crisp, red-tinged head I'm spending a bit more time pottering around my apartment. Once it's cute enough to appear on the Interwebz rest assured there will be a tour of my four square feet of meticulously cleaned home. Here are a few of the ideas that I'm currently stealing - as per the usual, links are embedded in the photos.
The artist who makes these plates apparentlydrips wax onto them and then sandblasts away,
but I bet you could accomplish something similar
with thrift store plates, a candle and some
white spray paint.
Would it be easy to mount a swingin most apartments? No. But would it
be insanely awesome?! Double yes.
Isn't this aeriel map great? You canoften find these at your local library
and I bet you could get a high quality copy
on the cheap at your local Kinkos. I'd
love to do this with either of my adoptive
home towns - Chung Li, Taiwan or
Wellington, New Zealand.
Wellington, New Zealand.
So easy and clever, eh? Vase + Sharpie = Awesome.
I constantly see old dressers and desksmoping next to the dumpsters in my neighborhood.
Wouldn't this be a cool use for the drawers?
I feel like I'm too old for the college
freshman white board, but I still love to
make lists. Apparently, Designsponge has
my back.
Garlands, you are always, always awesome.What decor ideas are you stealing these days?

I've been in a few houses with swings in them, I really like it. Sometimes you want to swing and there are too many bugs. Great solution really.
My friend had a swing in her bedroom when we were little. It was awesome!
Have you seen that you can buy paint that will 'make' a white board? It's in the paint section next to the blackboard paint. Super cool! Now you can make anything into a white board!
I love garlands, and I wonder if there is a grown up version of fairy lights out there
Love the plates!
Oo! Did I tell you I got a decal for my wall? It looks awesome, though I was definitely surprised by the product...it's MUCH thinner than I expected, and it doesn't appear as though it would be re-usable (I thought I'd be able to roll it up for my next place or whatever...not so much). It definitely won't damage your wall, though, and I ALWAYS get compliments on it! www.dalidecals.com has the best options, I think.
NHR - That's awesome! I've been wanting to try one of those for ages!
A swing would be like a dream, even to have it in a yard would be beyonsd awesome for me. Also in the dreawers photo the cool way they have the plant! The design ideas I am stealing are from you - lol.
I love everything, especially the Sharpie flowers "coming out of" the vases. Genius!
There's something I'm not seeing about the vases with the sharpie. Someone help me out?!
I've been looking forEVER (uh, like, a year) for the right piece of vintage wallpaper for a part of my entryway. Now it's so obvious: a vintage map there would be AMAZING. Brillz, Sarah Von! If I actually manage to make it happen, I'll give you all the credit ;)
