Check out this rad project by Jen over at jkizzle.blogspot.com. She used Anthropologie as inspiration and spelled out “Bon Appetit” above her kitchen cupboards. Props on total ingenuity. I imagine this looking cool above a couch or kitchen table, really any area with a bare wall.

Hey ladies & gents, do you live in an apartment/home and don’t have easy access to a washer or dryer? Are you single and hate lugging your tiny bag all the way to the laundromat? This is the perfect solution. Ok, I know I sound like a sales lady but fo reals, this thing is rad. It’s a home washing system that will do your delicates and your everyday stuff and it’s only $100. Need a practical item for your holiday wish list? Hurr it is.

Make an old leather clutch look new again by introducing a neon hue. Thanks Beancakes.

You can’t forget your home when it comes to holiday cheer. I love clove oranges because it’s a craft that’s pretty hard to mess up.

I don’t normally call food beautiful but man, can these people take pictures. Check out these recipe ideas for farmer’s market finds, such as fresh vegetables, herbs and cheese. I’m so trying the zucchini boats.

Who needs to bust out a couple hundred bucks for a name plate necklace? Instead, use the “plastic” you would use to buy it and you’ll not only be recycling, but you’ll have a great personalized piece of art.

Check out this step-by-step by Closette, which shows how to turn an old credit card into a piece of jewelry.
