New Lampshade

We moved our furniture around to make it more functional!  I might be addicted to doing this.  I had purchased this wonderful paper globe from Fiber Lab hoping to use it as a globe for the overhead lighting in my room.  Unfortunately it wasn't going to work out, so I swapped it for my boring IKEA lampshade.  I really like it a lot.  The juxtaposition of the ultra modern shade on the very classic stand is pretty fun in my opinion.

The pillows match!

So we had these hideous zebra pillows, and now they finally look presentable!  Hurrah!  This project used old ugly pillows, and fabric from my stash so it was a win-win as far as the guidelines for this project go.


Jewelry Organizer

I definitely might have an addiction to large earrings.
So basically I have all these earrings and no really good way to store them.  I definitely also forget about some of them and so I never wear them because the way I have stored them in the past keeps them out of sight for the most part.  This way I can see them all at once.  Hopefully I'll also be less tempted to keep all my old junky ones around too if they're not hidden away in drawers and boxes - it's kind of fun to curate my own little earring museum.
Unfortunately I didn't think about fitting the whole frame in the photo.  This is also only a small sampling of my earring collection/addiction.
Basically I saw this frame (originally a mirror) from IKEA and I decided that along with some old lace scraps I had lying around it would be the perfect frame to house my earrings.  Just popped the mirror out of the back and hot glued the lace to the back.  Keep it really tight if you decide to try it - mine was as tight as possible and the earrings still pull the lace down a little bit.

Organize it!



Socks, undies, tights and belts are things that typically don't keep themselves very well organized.  Give yourself an easier time by putting smaller boxes (in my case boxes from past Julep orders that I knew were just too functional to get rid of) inside of your small item drawers.  This would also likely work very well for tshirts.
