Have a look at this beautiful lacy creation that lies somewhere near Toronto. People are so, so awesome sometimes.

Last week it was matchbook sticky notes and now I’m craving matchstick pencils. What’s next?

wall decal?

I’ve been pretty anti-wall decal in the house planning thus far, but this Areaware design has me reeling. In fact, I think it would be perfect for our basement.

Too bad that’s Husband’s area of expertise. Think he’ll take a bribe?

… I fell in love with Idiots. They’re still up to their old tricks, and look at this crazy bird necklace!

a diy video: how to measure rough window sizes!

Welcome, HGTV readers! We’re still heavy into the renovation, but thought it might be helpful to know a few easy tips for measuring a rough window sizing for replacement windows. This was BY FAR the hardest part of the installation (there’s something nerve-wracking about fearing the wrong order/measurement has been placed!), so we’re giving you a plethora of options to be sure your measurements are spot on!:

Special thanks to Rick Wolf and Andersen Windows for giving us such awesome tips! Enjoy!

architectural hats.

Riitta Ikonen (a forever favorite artist of mine!) designed this woodsy, cruelty-free bearskin hat for Hat-Itecture, a pop-up exhibition at this year’s London Festival of Architecture.

I love!
