Today I’m loving … displaying artwork with pant/skirt hangers. This is a budget friendly solution (you can get these hanger for less then one USD/EURO at IKEA) as you don’t have to get your artwork framed. And it looks good as well!

Today I’m loving … these storage jar with lids painted with chalkboard paint. This way you can easily label and relabel the jars. It’s a simple diy project: get some jars and apply a coat of primer on the lids. Then apply the chalkboard paint and voila, your jars are ready!

diy: chalkboard paint a chest of drawers

I like how this chest of drawers is transformed into a fabulous eye-catching piece for dining room or kitchen – thank to some chalkboard paint. Labelling the drawers with chalk adds a fun detail. To achieve strong, bright letters that don’t smudge easily, wipe the surface with a damp cloth just before you write, then leave to dry naturally for cute labels that make it easy to delegate setting the table. I found this idea on homelife, here you find a ‘how to apply chalkboard paint guide’.

I love this vegetable garden: it is practical (for small gardens and balconies), inexpensive and, not unimportant, it looks good! Wooden wine boxes are used as plant containers.

This lovely house bookshelf has been made out of a sheet plywood. But you can also use a cheap bookcase (for example from IKEA) and turn it into a dollhouse / bookshelf. A fun project to do and not that difficult! Have you seen that tissue box that doubles as a chimney?!
