DIY (Do It Yourself) projects have been all the rage for years now!  DIY is so popular because people want to work on projects themselves, (instead of buying a new piece or hiring a professional), in the hopes of making their interiors look beautiful at a fraction of the cost.  There are so, soooo many kinds of DIY projects out there.  Just check out Pinterest and you’ll be overwhelmed by the crazy things you never thought you could do, but now…“in just five easy steps and $5 you can do it too!!”  The list is endless and so are the possibilities...

This summer I learned some valuable life lessons from a plant. How is that possible you might ask?  Well it all started with a corner in the living room that needed that extra something to make it complete...
