Sewing Machine Dust Cover

Last week I showed you some of the new fabrics from the HGTV Fabric line from Joann Fabrics.  I decided to use the Ring Around Peacock fabric to make a sewing machine dust cover for my Singer 160 machine.  The plastic one that came with it was terrible and I think my hot glue gun had attacked it.  For some reason I kept pushing this project off thinking it would be hard to do.  Once I got started I realized it was so simple and literally took me less than 30 minutes to make.

Outdoor Deck Lighting

Last year I spent so much time stripping and staining our deck, updating our outdoor furniture and creating a nice ambiance out there with our firepit table.  However, when the kids would go to bed and Tim and I would sit out there the outdoor patio light was harsh and bright.  So I decided to add some deck lighting with some rope lights from Lowes to create a relaxing environment in the evenings.

5 Ways to Get This Look: Retro Cottage Kitchen

Numbered Inspiration Picture

Confession time:  someday I’d like to have a beach house.  Not for the status, not for the view, not even for the ocean breeze…I want one so I can decorate it!  A kitchen like this one (that I found at Indulgy) is exactly what I picture in my imaginary beach house.  Things that speak to me in this room are the soft colors, the interesting textures (stainless steel and butcher block), and cool retro details like the Smeg refrigerator and barn lights.  I’ve found five great options for DIYing this look.
