Color blocked metallics? Yes please. Whimsical night themes? Yes please, again! I’m adoring this week’s home decor project, especially considering how easy it is to achieve the depth and dimension of the “moon” portion. A little paint can really go a long way — and you don’t have to be a veteran artist to make it happen. …
I’m such a sucker for anything unconventional. This is even true for my Christmas ornaments; no plain jane decor for this lady! In addition to the Pearl Snowflakes, I whipped up these ornaments using spent bullet shells and crystals from a vintage chandelier. I love the way the two elements compliment each other. See I …
Can you believe the first day of winter is right around the corner? While I’m more of a summer & autumn lady, I love the whimsical elements of the season. I recently whipped up a few pearl snowflakes using materials I already had on hand. The supplies are quite standard; it’s all about the technique …
A few years ago, I was a DIY contributor at We Heart This. As of yesterday, I’m back on the team! Click here to check my (second) first project, a set of Embellished Candle Holders. Perfect for gift giving during the holidays. I’m especially loving the twig holder in the middle.
Darby Smart and I recently collaborated on a seasonal hostess project kit…Mini Felt Succulent Card Holders! Perfect for your next autumn holiday party (Halloween, Thanksgiving, or just because).

A few weeks ago, I whipped up this pretty little marbled number thanks to For the Makers’ Mojave Bowl kit. I adore mine! I use it to hold my most worn jewelry. Here’s to hoping I’ll stop misplacing them! Xo, Kirsten FTC Disclaimer: The Marbled Mojave Bowl kit was provided by For the Makers or …
Last year, I created a wood-burned clock for my good friends’ Christmas gift. They’re in a band called Ghost House, and this skull is an awesome logo originally created by Rick Calzi of Dying Breed Illustration. Using a wood burning tool that I bought at Michaels, I burned the logo onto a pine wood disc …
For the past few years, I’ve been storing my tea bags in a large tin container covered in vintage floral fabric. The fabric was fun, but at the rate that I drink tea, it was never completely full. I just felt like the tin was bulky and taking up too much space. Yesterday, I came …
Here’s a little side project that I whipped up yesterday while I snowed in! A tiny terrarium that can fit in the palm of my hand. The glass portion is actually an upside down candle holder. A great, inexpensive alternative to most glass containers (especially those specifically made for terrariums). I cut out a green …
