Coveted Closets.

February has come and it has me thinking of spring! Especially fashion wise. I can't wait to bring all my dresses out of hiding! 

This week, I came across a really neat site called The Coveteurs. It goes into the closets of fashionable people, mostly celebrities. Now, I am usually the last to know any kind of celebrity news, haven't really cared enough to keep up on it, but it's really kind of neat to scroll through and see who is really fashionable, what pieces they keep in their closets waiting to wear, who just has a stylist create their outfits! 

One of my favourite tours was Cat Deeley. She is one classy lady. I've always liked her on 'So you think you can dance'. This video shows her lovely hostess self.

Neat, isn't it? Has anyone else heard of the Coveteurs before?

House Tour {No. 3}

Autumn makes me love my house even more! Summer was nice, but the fall weather makes it super cozy. Perhaps these photos will convey a few things I love about the house I live in. What says 'cozy' to you?

Last weekend's project: Felted wool leaf garland. Pumpkin table decor, courtesy of one of my fantastic roommates.

Clipboards for inspiration. A cute 'rental sweet rental' poster makes me smile. 

A thrifted magazine rack holds my fabric for sewing. 

Doesn't this picture just make you want to sew?? I actually haven't been doing a lot of that, but I have been doing some crafting! Stay tuned for a post later on this week of my latest project.

What's inspiring you to be creative this autumn?

"House" Tour {No. 2}

I've been living in my dorm for over two months, and I haven't even shown you? My, I'm a lazy blogger. 

This is my home! See my first home tour here. I'm not doing an interview with myself, because that's just...silly. I'll just tell you about the favourite things in my room! And maybe give a few of my favourite DIY ideas. 

I love frame collages! I collected these frames over the summer, painted some of them, and threw them up on the wall (3m tabs are magical), and wall art is born!

   

On the other side of my room, I have a chalkboard, magnetic calendar, and an unusual way to hang photos (see below!)

I happen to love my telephone table a lot. See the before and after here. 

And now, here's a few of my favourite changes I made to my originally white room. Tell me, which one of these six is your favourite?

Do I like tea? No...not at all. See my tea chalkboard labels here. 

That's my house! 

Enjoy!

"House" Tour {No.1}

 As of now, I do not live in a house. I do not live in an apartment. I get to live with tons of incredibly beautiful and talented girls in a college dorm! So being there 8 months out of the year, we like to make it nice and home-y. The common area, or lounge, is our living room, and we each get a bedroom, and share bathrooms and a kitchen facility. The freshmen all get a roommate, and the returning students (that would be me!) get their own room. 

I would like to introduce a talented, crafty lady, and my new friend, Michelle. She is kind enough to share the decor of her "house" with us. I asked her a couple questions about her style. 

Q: How would you describe your style?

A: My style? Um, It’s hard to say. Eclectic, and maybe a little bit quirky. Everything kind of has a meaning to me. I can look at everything in my room and remember when I bought it. It’s almost reminiscent. Everything I have is for a purpose. I like old things, vintage-y things. 

Q: Do you think your style changes a lot? Or have you liked this kind of style for a while?

A: I have liked it for a long time. I feel like my style is always progressing. Before it was really fun, but now it’s more like I’m trying to make it more timeless. Slowly it’s evolving into something more mature. 

Q: Tell me about that piece of wallpaper:

A: Well, there is a girl, and I found her designs online. I’ve always liked wallpaper and florals. I saw that you can buy samples online, which is so cool! I bought an 8x10 piece of wallpaper and it only cause like under $2! That’s so cool to me! All the way from Birmingham, England. That is art for under $2! It’s amazing! I just bought a sample piece of fabric from the same lady, and it’s coming in the mail! So fun!

         

Q:  What is your favorite piece in your “house”?

A: It’s probably something I bought on Etsy. It’s a painting of a man playing guitar in Israel. It’s so fun cause it came in this really cute packaging, and the girl was really nice and it was just so fun! It’s kind of an awkward painting, but I think a lot of my style is awkward and quirky, but for me it just fits. And I love that this came from Israel!

Q: So…would you say that you find buying things online exciting?

           

A: Yes. But this is a problem because there are endless opportunities!

Thank you Michelle!

Ad don't worry friends, I will share my "house" sometime soon! Also, are you interested in seeing more "house" tours sometime soon?
