Piet Hein Eek constructed these foyer walls with doors that had been torn out from the building during demolition....I think it is a gorgeous way to have a 'visual reminder of what once was." -poppytalk

I'm so thankful for fuzzy beasts and cozy beds.

Sometimes people's crafts take my breath away...like this quilt of the Crab Nebula.

demos to reuse.

2011-10-08T14:23:00.001-05:00

This weekend the husb took me to the Chicago Rebuilding Exchange, a non-profit organization that fills a warehouse full of things donated from demo sites and resells them at a fraction of the price. And I mean a fraction, yo! We bought two vintage doors (one still had its original glass knobs) for $90. Needless to say, I didn't want to leave.

This blue guy came home with us for the new Bees'netta studio....more on that soon.

découpaging tradition.

2011-09-28T17:35:00.003-05:00

I can be quite traditional when it comes to holiday decor......but sometimes you have to take your traditions and cover that shit in glue. Learn the technique here.
