A recent find for me "Posie gets Cozy." This beautiful bag below? It's her creation - and you can download the pdf pattern here.



These dishes and linens she found at goodwill!

Some lovely snippets from "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland"


those colors!...


...and last but not least, some photos from "The Decorating Voice"

...look closely - what do you think of the industrial file cabinet as a side table? I think I like it with the mixed decor...

Shadow boxes as jewelry boxes!

Kitchen help!

My roomies and I have a to-die-for kitchen. All new stainless-steel appliances, recessed lighting, and tons of cabinet space. The problem? We have somehow managed to fill it already, after less than a month! Sooo...we've come to realize that we need to find a functional and attractive way to keep our kitchen running smoothly. Count on Domino to have lots of great images featuring great solutions!

What are some of your space-saving kitchen solutions?

Clever ways to cover an eye-sore

Everybody's got 'em. Spaces in their home they'd rather not be there.But no matter how ugly a radiator, one needs heat. The ideas below are some of my favorite solutions.


Ho-hum shelving? Make it pop and coordinate with the rest of the room by painting the back and sides of the shelves.


Mess under the table? In my small apartment, underneath the table is valuable storage space. I'll be making a simple table skirt like this one to hide my recycling bins, which live under a side table in my kitchen.


Use a bookcase as a storage console by keeping things tidy in matching bins.


Draw attention away from the radiator by fashioning a cover of some sort-- this can be something as simple as a shelf mounted above the radiator. Put intriguing objects on the surface that'll act as the focal point--instead of the radiator.


Crammed cupboards? Never underestimate the power of a pot rack! I'd cook even less than I do now if it wasn't for mine. I also have the same exact magnetic knife strip as seen here. It's really helpful because it means I'm not rooting around in drawers for a sharp blade.
