Hanging beds

Are you hosting outdoor parties this season?
I absolutely love open porches and am hooked on to the idea of hanging beds.
I have always known swings but hanging beds-a step further!

We are in the process of building one ourselves but till i can show you the finished version-
here is some inspiration!!

Reusing palette...hmmm easiest to pull off!

Its almost summer-love the airiness that this look provides...

Since we have started building one for ourselves-this is what am going for...Am already drooling visualizing!!! with what mine will look like with all our fabrics

Happy Easter!

If you are looking for ideas for last minute easter decor think about all that you have in your home!

I love to use fresh flowers, beautifully decorated eggs, sparkling crystal and lovely china patterns in my Easter decor...Am loving the pinks and purples cause those are the flowers i have growing outside right now..

Here's a few of my favorite 'grown-up' Easter decorating ideas, courtesy of all those crazy-talented people on Pinterest.

So tell me....how are you decorating your home this Easter??

Pattern Play: DIY

This week at our studio we were all ramped up with patterns.
We kept trying to print different patterns to come up with new designs.
I had to share this with you guys..

me: lets try block printing ourselves(as we have new wooden blocks coming in)
kiddo: lets do that...and goes and brings his lego block to print from!!!

Moral of the story--we can print from any no# of household items.

These linen towels only look as though they were silk-screened; their designs were really made by manipulating the following household items.
1. Overlapping triangular toy blocks.
2. Triangular toy blocks.
3. The bottom of a mini tart tin, the rim of a drinking glass, and a button attached to a wooden block.
4. Rubber band wrapped around wooden block.
5. Bottoms of hexagonal and circular jars and buttons glued to wooden blocks.
6. Rope glued to a wooden plank.
7. Straw star.
8. Bottom of a plastic berry basket.
9. House numbers screwed to a scrap of wood.
10. Toy-animal block.
11. Potato masher.
12. Buttons glued to a scrap of wood.
13. Woven wooden-bead trivet.
14. Tart tin and button.
15. Bottle stopper.
16. Buttons.
