DIY Faux Snakeskin Console Table

Oh my good golly goshness, I so love this diy console table by Emily of Recently, the blog! I love the look of the faux snakeskin fabric, but it can be covered in any print you like! So, some retro florals, shabby rosettes, trendy chevron, velvet...? She has a full length tutorial on her blog. Fabric, mod podge, and a piece of furniture with fairly straight lines is pretty much ll you need! I'll be on the hunt for roadside treasures to make me one soon.

Colorful IKEA Love

We went to IKEA with our way awesome Swedish friend over the weekend. I feel in love with this fabric... and how they hung it with coordinating yardage like tapestries. I'm going to do that... eventually.

(Love the ideas Rosie found of this fabric in use.)

Apparently, the 'art' of the couches is to awesome to sit upon. Really, some of those couches were so full of crap, there would be no way to sit on them anyways. (Some really were awesome though). Maybe that is what I will do with my white slipcovers when they become too stained for the bleach to handle, just color the heck out of them and call it art.

 I love this... how simple! It's just a curtain rod hung vertically on the ceiling. Something I am totally equipped to lovingly/sweetly nag my not extremely handy husband to do.
