i use baskets for just about everything. in fact, i don’t even have a drawer for my socks! i keep everything from scarves to dog toys in baskets of all kinds, so this diy for painted baskets from the marion house book really stood out to me. every time i go thrifting, i now scour the isles for big baskets- i would especially love to find some large round ones like these pictured above.

aren’t they beautiful? head on over to the marion house book to see the full tutorial.

and just for some added inspiration, i also love these dipped-dyed baskets from martha. oh, the possibilities!

i’ve been using spoonflower to get custom fabric printed for a long time now, so i was thrilled to hear about their launch of custom wallpaper and wall decals this week.

now we crafsters, designers and do-it-yourselfers can design our own wallpaper for any space, any time. and if you’re not a designer, you can still browse spoonflower’s thousands of designs made by independent artists. spoonflower’s wallpaper is also removable and eco friendly, which makes it perfect for renters (or anyone who just likes to change things up frequently)!

with an eye toward environmentally conscious consumers and moms looking to decorate nurseries and kids’ rooms, spoonflower has printed their wallpaper on PVC-free paper using durable, eco-friendly inks, so you can feel safe about using it in nurseries and kids’ rooms.

the kid in me is screaming for me to make one of these. just a quiet little getaway place to play house or read a book. covered in beautiful fabrics or lace, i think they could be quite the decor addition as well!

who says you have to be a kid to enjoy one of these anyhow? i think they would be perfect for date nights, too. (wink)

this little cutie patootie diy biz card holder is easy enough for anyone, i promise! when i saw it on justina blakeney’s blog i instantly fell in love with it. it’s simple, yet trendy and obviously handmade (notice i didn’t say ‘homemade’- there’s a big difference! haha). you could even add a few arrow stitches or some ////’s or even some >>>’s!

for craft shows, business meetings and trade shows i think having a unique card holder to accompany your unforgettable business cards would just put the recipient over the top. head on over to justina’s blog for the full tutorial and a cute little pattern print out.

i’ve been oohing and ahhing over these crocheted circle placemats ever since i saw them on domestic peacock. though they remind me of a dottie angel project, the pattern actually comes from another favorite blog, the purl bee. i want to place them on an old worn-in table made of barn wood, adorned with a modern and sleek white table setting- the center of which will be filled vintage milk glass vases and yellow daisies.
