This is so cool! If you are looking for an inexpensive way to add some pizazz to your business cards, how about dipping them into some watercolor paint? Below is an effective way of how to go about it. Via.

If you have ever considered reupholstering furniture on your own, or love to buy fabric at garage sales or whatnot, then this nifty guide is for you. This chart would tell you exactly how much fabric you would need for a certain chair or couch or what-have-you. You could even print it in a smaller size and stick it in your wallet! Via.

Here are some great ideas for the home that's so simple, all I could ever say was, now why didn't I think of that? *smacks forehead*. I mean, seriously. These are so awesome:

maps for your door

sheets stored in their own pillow case

magnet make-up board

I just want to make them all now!

Good morning! Feeling really good today so I thought I'd post about flowers! Here are some of my favorite flowers to date:

succulents and billy balls

peonies

hydrangeas

poppies

Love these two DIY projects. I could easily make them (which really counts because I lust over a lot of things that I know I won't be able to do hehe).

The first is another way of using an old photo frame, or another way of hanging your photos:

The next is just brilliant - turning a spice rack into a children's book shelf!

This is a brilliant idea! Very inexpensive to make and very easy, too. I never thought about painting my hampers a new color, particularly because it's plastic, but this tutorial mentions plastic primer, which I am excited to look into. Really, really happy to have found this. Makeover by Katie Steuernagle, found here.

Currently obsessed with luggage. So here are some lovely pictures I found lying around the internet:

Been listening to Nina Simone and eating cupcakes, hence the title. Anyway. Wow, I can't believe it's really April already. And here I am still ogling various kitchen decor and whatnot. Here's another find:

Primary Confection Measuring Spoons from Anthropologie

 Found these lovely plates via Anthropologie. I think they're cute! But I would probably use them more for my jewelry than for food.

"Choose from four different sketched noblewomen as they flaunt their surreal finery (ship-topped, sky-scraping wig, anyone? Perhaps a flag?) amidst crimped-edged ceramic. An Anthropologie exclusive collaboration with Parisian artist Florence Balducci."

 Love these Fornasetti-inspired chairs (via):

Piero Fornasetti was an Italian painter, sculptor, interior decorator and engraver. He created more than 11,000 items, many featuring the face of a woman, operatic soprano Lina Cavalieri, as a motif. Fornasetti found her face in a 19th century magazine.

“What inspired me to create more than 500 variations on the face of a woman?” asks Italian designer, Piero Fornasetti of himself. “I don’t know,” he admits, “I began to make them and I never stopped.”

The “Tema e Variazioni” (theme and variation) plate series based on Cavalieri's face numbered more than 350. Other common features in his work include heavy use of black and white, the sun and time. His style is reminiscent of Greek and Roman architecture, from which he was heavily influenced. Today it is most common to see Fornasetti's style in fashion and room accessories such as scarfs, ties, lamps, furniture, china plates and tables. His son, Barnaba Fornasetti, continues to design in his father's name. (wiki)
