Crayon Melt: Modern Art
Once you've already done your shopping at the school supply aisle of Target, might as well use that extra huge box of Crayola's and try out this modern art DIY project as one more family activity to knock off the list before September 1st. I think this is simply genius! And while I personally would proudly hang that in my living room, this really makes for some fantastic wall decor in a children's room, playroom, and especially - a crafts room!!
Head over to Whatever (remember her awesome summer bucket list??) for some more photos of her kids mid-melting and the easy-as-pie DIY details!!
Happy late-summer crafting! :)
Going Baroque
Obsessed is not even the word. I simply can't break free... even though I know my kitchen counters will slowly start to look like they're country-style-screaming!! :) I just gravitate toward baroque! My lovely Shavuot guests (thanks Briendy!!!) brought by a gift before the holiday - the most scrumptious mocha-coconut cake in the most awesome ceramic baroque cake dome! And she had never even been in my home!! I placed it right up on the bar, and as you can see - it fight in much too well! Things like that make me smile. Sometimes it's these little beautiful things that make being domestic (i.e. baking a Shabbos morning cake) that much more fun!
Subtle Color in the Kitchen
As you're all well aware of by now, I lean quite toward the minimalist persona. Recently I've been seeing a lot of bland toned kitchens, and I'm smitten!! I've always loved the crisp and classic freshness of a white kitchen, and the warm and textured vibes of a wooden kitchen, but now I'm veering toward the immaculate cold and earthy cement and concrete kitchens (weird, I know!). Anyways, if I lived in even the most amazing cold and colorless kitchen, I'd imagine I'd add pops of subtle color to the heart of the home via colored tools like these:
Ladies & Gentleman Studio Colored Serving Utensils, from $35
Cutting Edge Series Colored Cutting and Serving Boards, from $12
Cozy Corner
I'm currently obsessing over these chunky knit bean bags. Hand-knitted, using high-quality New Zealand Wool, by the skilled women of a fair trade production unit in Nepal, these bean bags are totally a cross between this and this, and I'm loving the crochet crash-zone for a warm and relaxing reading nook!
