    How To Update Your White Kitchen With Touches Of Wood And Organic Elements

    All-white kitchens whether modern or traditional, are quite simply classic, and have truly weathered every kitchen trend. The modern pearl-white laminate cabinets with an aluminum rim that I chose twenty years ago for my kitchen still look great, and the light color does make the room look bigger, more airy certainly, and you always know…

    Use Magnetic Poster Hangers To Display Your Art!

    The Jewish Holiday Season is now officially over in Israel, while folks in the rest of the world are currently celebrating the holiday of Simchat Torah.

    Simple IKEA Hack: Ekby Valter Bracket Wall Sconce!

    Hey there, the whole world has fun coming up with creative IKEA hacks, so I’m now joining the club. This first one I’m sharing is not my idea, so only taking credit for seeing the idea and actually following through, yippee! This idea is for those of us who would like a modern playful light…

  • Chinese Jewelry Pouch Bunting Banner!

    A Chinese jewelry pouch bunting banner, for decoration or even as a fun way to keep your jewelry safe but at hand. I came across these little pouches that I’d collected as a girl in a bag of goodies from my mother, and they just shouted out to me bunting banner! And dear readers, you…

  • Shelf Lining Paper With A Simple Decorative Edge!

    Got some plain shelves that could use a little decorative touch? (This is a shot of my kitchen shelves after they were thoroughly cleaned, and before the Passover dishes were placed on them.) So my crafty friends, how about lining those shelves, whether open or in a closet, with reverse-scallop- edged paper that you can…

  • A Summer Centerpiece: Paper Roses In A Festive Basket!

    Need a casual summer centerpiece, or a bit of something new this season? Baskets, especially those with handles are perfect for holding flowers! I had some of my paper cabbage roses on hand, (tutorial here) as well as this Mexican basket, so this project came together in just a matter of minutes. I’m sure you…

  • Use A Decorative Bird Cage To Make A Quick Flower Arrangement!

    Okay, you’re right, it’s only quick if you happen to have that bird cage on hand! So if you happen to see one it’s a great purchase! Of course I’d just love to do this idea with real flowers but artificial ones are all that I happen to have at the moment. If you’d like…

  • Decorate Now With Interesting Frames and Fill Them Later (Or Don’t!)

    We have lived in our current home for over three years now, and I have to admit, I’ve been a little lax in the final touch department. Before moving in I spent lots of time choosing paint colors and light fixtures, so the house has looked pretty good from the start, but recently those very…

  • Make Your Own Wall Decals From Fabric!

    Today I am not at the computer, I am celebrating and observing the first day of Pesach! Of course that doesn’t mean that I’ll be abandoning the blog, I’ve got a whole series of posts lined up that will automatically post even though I’m enjoying the holiday! This is not my project (You’ll forgive me…

    Hopefully at this point those of you who are celebrating Pesach have finished most of the rigorous cleaning and are now preparing for the festivities! I don’t know about you, but I try to make my house look bare for Pesach, as it somehow looks cleaner and fresher that way! Nonetheless, a bit of color…

  • Fill Your Closets With Adorable Hangers This Fall!

    There really is no feeling quite like gazing into an organized closet complete with really nice hangers. Ahhh! Children on the other hand may not quite understand the need for keeping things neat and organized, but they will appreciate something cute you’ve made, even if it’s for the inside of their closet! And with hangers…

  • Almost Instant DIY Artwork

    I don’t know about you, but the walls in my house are very very bare. Sometimes it’s a nice feeling, and sometimes well, it feels really a bit too bare. My problem is that I just can’t bring myself to put holes in the walls to hang something I don’t absolutely love. That said I…
