It's all in the details

This week is finally over! Hope your week was better than mine : )
When I first walked into my building, the details in the structure took my breathe away! I love the old character and charm that my little apartment carries. Here is just a few details that just make me smile.

Loving these knobs. They are original with the building but very hard to photograph.

Door to nowhere..

Ready for Spring!

Hi everyone! Hope you are having a great week! I am soooooo looking forward to Spring and my latest obsession is playing with flowers. Flowers make me think of Spring and i have been surrounding myself with them every week. There is something beautiful and elegant about a rose...so I wanted to share the latest flowers hanging around my apartment.  :)

New Ruffled Curtains

Happy Monday! I finally had the time to do a few small projects over the weekend and can't wait to share them with you. My first project was to get some curtains hung up in the living room. I adore the natural sunlight that comes in so I did not want to interrupt that. I found these ruffled curtains for $25 a panel and could not resist! Love how the sun still shines through.

The lights are out and the sun still shines through : )

A Headboard Makeover

This may be the winner for thrifty DIYs of Soiledrotten! : )

When I moved into my new place a few months ago, I had no choice but to bring this ugly black bed with me. I knew it would be the only bed I owned that would fit though the narrow doorways in my building. For months, I draped a faux fur pillow over the headboard to hide the ugly black slits that the bed has. Last week, right before I went to bed, I had an idea. (Th ideas often come before or after bed) I had an egg crate on the bed to make it extra comfy, but I could do without. I decided to cut the egg crate to the size if the ugly black slits and then go shopping. I wanted to pick some sort of fabric that would match the toile curtains. I came across a gorgeous bath towel in Target and figured "why not?" I attached the towel to the egg crate and this is the final product.

William Sonoma Napkin Art

Think I died and went to egg heaven!
There is something about Spring and Easter that makes me happy and ready to decorate! I came across these two napkins at William Sonoma last week and knew they would make perfect art for my bedroom. The two ladies behind the register said they were going to do this project themselves! Love it!

$19 for two napkins. Only used one for this project.

I did not cut the napkin just in case I want to use them in the kitchen one day.

An old frame just hanging around

Love the colors. Next, just have to hang it up. : )
