25 {More} Ikea Hacks–DIY Home Decor

Kim Layton — Tue, 22 Jan 2013 13:50:44 +0000

Ikea hacks are the best DIY home decor projects! You can take simple furniture from Ikea and turn it into something amazing in no time at all! Oh, and they’re usually cheap…a very good thing indeed!

25 DIY Anthro Inspired Knock-Offs

Kim Layton — Wed, 03 Oct 2012 15:44:53 +0000

I don’t think I’m alone in the fact that I love everything in Anthropologie, BUT not the prices! Most of their items seem to be something to splurge on or knock-off as your next DIY project!

I’m the kind of shopper that walks straight to the back of the store to browse the sale racks. If I should happen to pass something that I can’t live without…well, that’s usually when I start figuring out how to make it on my own for a fraction of the price. {I’m cheap like that!}

With the holidays coming up I’m looking for cheap and easy creative gift ideas and ways to spruce up my home for the holidays. I found some super inspiring DIY Anthro knock-offs that I know you’re going to love.
