Build Your Own Ottoman Tray

DIY Ottoman Tray - a great beginner project

I’m all about little vignettes lately.  Specifically designed areas of decor that tell a story.  I don’t know that my attempts at vignettes necessarily tell a story, but I think they give off a vibe or feeling of warmth and welcome.

Make Your Own Coffee / Tea Station

DIY Coffee / Tea Station

Ever since a friend of mine mentioned how they now have an office coffee station at their workplace, I’ve been on a mission lately to find the perfect tea station (coffee station – but I’m a tea drinker).
