The Design Pages: Twine Light Fixture

http://thedesignpages.blogspot.com/2011/07/twine-light-fixture.html

Thursday, July 14, 2011. I think I've kept you guessing long enough so here's the reveal on my big ball of twine. As some of you already guessed it's a light fixture. I came across this idea a while ago over at one of my favourite reads, Moss Eclectic. And tucked it away as a future project. I had purchased the big smiley face ball a couple of months ago and figured if I didn't get this fixture done asap that the ball could potentially end up being a summertime play toy. Wanna know how I did it? Once it'...

Go Green: Essential Oils For Beginners

http://www.jenandjoeygogreen.com/2013/12/essential-oils-for-beginners.html

CONDUCT A HOME WASTE AUDIT. Essential Oils For Beginners. Don't go crazy buying every type of essential oil you can think of. A small number of types will provide you with a massive variety of uses. Start your stash with the basics - my favourites are Lemon. Don't go down the rabbit hole of essential oil blends. That is not for beginners but rather EO ninja's. Pick a Reputable Company. That has 100% pure essential oils that are extracted using a steam process. A Little Goes a Long Way. If the "recipe" yo...

Why I Don’t Promote B-School (+ How to Make Money as a Coach)

http://www.livebrazen.com/2014/02/dont-promote-b-school-make-money-coach

We respect your email privacy. Why I Don’t Promote B-School ( How to Make Money as a Coach). February 19, 2014. If you’ve got a business in the self-development space you’ve probably heard of it. Soon, if not already, you’ll be receiving enthusiastic emails praising this business-building program to the moon and back. They’ll throw in all kinds of juicy bonuses enticing you to sign up through them. And they’ll be making hundreds of thousands of dollars (sometimes millions) promoting b-school. Then I wipe...

The Design Pages: Painted Curtains

http://thedesignpages.blogspot.com/2011/08/painted-curtains.html

Tuesday, August 9, 2011. Sometimes the right colour or pattern eludes you when looking for curtains. Pre-made panels don't come in a plethora of colours or patterns. The super easy solution to this problem is to do-it-yourself. I started my project with a simple IKEA panel. Determine how many stripes you want as well as what size each stripe will be. Beginning at the top, start to measure down the curtain marking off the area for each stripe to be painted. My stripes are each 12". They turned out great!

The Design Pages: Make Your Own Chalk Paint

http://thedesignpages.blogspot.com/2013/01/make-your-own-chalk-paint.html

Tuesday, January 15, 2013. Make Your Own Chalk Paint. If you are a diy'er then you likely know all about chalk paint, particularly the famous Annie Sloan brand. If you don't like to do-it-yourself you may be thinking I'm referring to chalkBOARD paint but no, I am not. Remember these chairs I picked up at a thrift store to console myself for losing the down sofa? Here's what you need and what it cost. 1 I used leftover paint - free. 2 Unsanded Grout - $9.99 (you might want to buy a small bag:). I removed ...

The Design Pages: Cloud White or Chantilly Lace - The Fight is On!

http://thedesignpages.blogspot.com/2012/07/cloud-white-or-chantilly-lace-fight-is.html

Tuesday, July 3, 2012. Cloud White or Chantilly Lace - The Fight is On! Cloud White aka CC-40 or OC-130 and for those who have been a fan for a LONG time, you'll remember it as simply 967. I know, I know. We're all sick and tired of hearing about Benjamin Moore's beloved Cloud White. Or are you? This is Cloud White paired with Gray Owl OC-52. Cloud White looks yellow against this pale gray. I prefer the crispness of Chantilly Lace OC-65 against Gray Owl. I mean really, can this be more perfect. We chose ...

The Design Pages: I'm In Love with You

http://thedesignpages.blogspot.com/2011/07/im-in-love-with-you.html

Friday, July 22, 2011. I'm In Love with You. You know I love to leave you some of my favourite goodies to cherish on a Friday. Well, as luck would have it, it's Friday! Is this amazing or what? All that makeup that's filling your drawers could be neat and organized like this. Magnets is the secret here. More beauty related projects but you have to admit, this is so fun. Better Homes and Gardens. I don't even need to add a caption to this one because everyone is doing a silent "yessss" right now. That cor...

The Design Pages: Gold Leaf a Canvas

http://thedesignpages.blogspot.com/2012/02/gold-leaf-canvas.html

Wednesday, February 1, 2012. Gold Leaf a Canvas. Okay, we all know that gold is the standard at the moment but replacing everything in your home with gold is not going to happen. How can you get the impact without spending a fortune replacing all the silver and nickel of the last 10 years? I gold leafed a plain, inexpensive canvas to add above a cabinet in my dining area. The cabinet is a flat blue and needed some sparkle. Gold leaf found at art supply stores (I found this at Micheal's). 2 Pick up the go...
