I have had this shiny black table sitting around forever. Not only is it tacky as hell, it is pretty much the exact same as the IKEA Lack table (complete with cardboard stuffing) except I got it at Walmart. I follow Buzzfeed’s “Nifty” page on Facebook and saw this really cool succulent planter tutorial on there. Seeing as I already had the table… Read More
Master Bedroom Makeover
New floors, painted walls, brand spankin’ new bed, and our bedroom is finally finished after a couple months of semi-hard work. Let’s take a tour, shall we?

Easy Jute Wrapped Chandelier
I am really into wrapping things in jute, rope, yarn, whatever.

I don’t know about you, but I do not have $899 dollars to spend on a chandelier for my dining room. If… Read More
Night Stand Makeover
Everyone around these parts knows that come clean-up day, the Sulis’ always have the best garbage. Garbage-picking is a rite of passage in Nova Scotia, and to say I wasn’t thrilled with this year’s bounty would be a lie. I got a metal table frame, some plastic lawn furniture, and a brand new wine fridge! I thought I was done for… Read More
