DIY decorating and crafts

I had a chandelier in mind -- the Arterior Maurice Chandelier -- that was between $1,600 - $2,000 to buy. I ended up making my own beaded chandelier for about $250 and it's bigger too -- 32 inches in diameter by 3.5 feet in height. Here's how I did it: … [Read more...]

I love taking a pattern from a pillow or even trying to recreate the same pattern from a very expensive rug.
