Makeover: new dining/kitchen area curtains
We’ve been looking for more than 1 year for the right curtains for our dining/kitchen area, but we never found anything we really like. Finally thanks to a living social deal I had the opportunity to afford this set of two curtains from 3 day blinds! We love them. You see outside, the light passes […]

Makeover: Ikea hacker for my studio
I have this great space on top of our garage that we call studio, but for a long time it was just and empty room, then a very busy room, but with no order at all. Now that I started my MFA I need a space to keep my works and with Daniele we decided […]

Paint: dining room accent wall
It’s been a while that Daniele pushes me to paint some accent walls. I actually love accent walls, plus, we had some leftover grey paint from our master bedroom remodeling project, so why not? Basically our main floor is one big space with living room, dining room and kitchen. So in order to define better […]

Makeover: Patio (part #2)
Here is the finished Patio (this is makeover #1) by the end of summer 2011. Colorful and happy, we really enjoyed it with this incredible weather on Colorado (almost october and still 82F…!) Great additions for this make over: pillows I made from this incredible fabric, Outside Oslo (dusk) found on howaboutorange.com, and some super […]

Paint: master bedroom remodeling (part #1)
We finally decided to toggle the master bedroom, but for real this time. I started painting our pello chair, but for the next project I needed some extra help from my husband Daniele. Here is a picture of our master bedroom, when we moved to our new house this past July (with of course our cat […]

Paint: diy makeover dresser
When we moved to Fort Collins, Daniele bought a dresser from American Furniture Warehouse…yes…he found a decent file cabinet at AFW…, that we used as a clothing dresser. The color was kind of flat…a light fake maple, and it didn’t really fit in our white walking closet. So I just bought some white paint and […]

This time I started from a grey no shape long sleeves shirt and a black t-shirt I reshaped neck, body and sleeves to fit myself Ruffled the leftovers (Gather-Fabric-into-Ruffles), and here is the first one and […]

Paint: guestroom projects
My italian friend Gabriela left Fort Collins at the end of 2010 after 9 years. She is going to Africa (Good luck dear!!) and she left us some goodies. This Little blue table lamp was probably my favorite and I wanted to use it as soon as possible. It was already very cute but I […]

Recycle&sew: t-shirt mania
Daniele, my husband, was throwing away some old, but in pretty good shape, t-shirts. I really love some of those, the colors were still ok and the cotton…well it was 100% cotton…So I took an inspiration from the ruffled shirt at Anthropologie and I came out with some original design. Here is the first transformation: […]

Travel wall
I decided to give some credit to my husband Daniele, he takes very nice pictures. So why don’t create a travel wall with picture from our travels around the world. I printed 12 pictures (Daniele is good but I photoshop some of them…), then I bought 12 silver frames that I painted gloss white. I […]
