Special kids' rooms : my Spring picks!
One of my friends asked me to help her redesign her daughter's room, so I've been browsing many kids' related websites lately and I thought I would share with you some cool stuff I found. Can you tell spring is right around the corner? ;-)
Monday color mix : Neon
It's been a while since my last mix, and what better theme to start a bright new week than a good dose of [super trendy] neon... I don't use neon in my home a lot but in small touches, this can be a pretty fun statement, and the "dipped" neon paint effect shown on some pics below is really growing on me...

Easy DIY : Pimp your old cupboard!
Yeah, I know, that old plain chest of drawers or cupboard you have stored somewhere [mine is collecting dust in the garage] that you can't seem to donate or sell because you know it can have a second life, you just don't know which life it is, but somewhere, there must be... Look no more, these are 3 easy options for pimping up that old plain piece of furniture and get the instant "wow, did you do this?" effect we all love about DIY projects. So grab an old tee shirt and your brushes, and get ready to pimp up your old cupbaord, 2012 version!

Chalkboard paint {again!}, but then, once it's painted, have fun with the chalk and write your favorite poem or a paragraph of your favorite book. |
More Holiday DIY projects: gift wrapping!
Whether you're a really crafty person or just a DIY beginner, you can save a lot of money [and gain instant satisfaction] by customizing your gift wrapping: washi tape, kraft paper, old vintage newspapers or maps, a good dose of creativity, a few hours of your weekend and your gifts will look like they were made by a real pro, and remember the rule, the gift wrapping is just as important as its content. So have fun and happy crafting!
Make your own Christmas tree!
Ok, you love Christmas but not the needle falling tree. Neither are you ready for a Made in China plastic version. Or, maybe you want to add some Christmas touches around the house without having to get real Christmas trees in every room of the house. Well, look no more, these easy DIY options give you the Christmas spirit without the needles but with the full "oh la la" effect.
Trend alert : customize your white walls!
Loving this new "wall customization" trend that imitates real furniture. Cheaper than the real deal and so much more fun. Remember my post about going crazy with the sharpie pen? Well, it turns out I am not the only one with this crazy idea. Better off, some pros give here a lesson that with a white wall, a sharpened pencil or sharpie pen and a good dose of creativity, you can be your own Picasso. And remember, don't freak out, as long as you have a leftover can of the wall paint [always test that it is still usable before starting your project], covering up your Picasso moment is as easy as a fresh coat of paint. Fun, fun, fun I tell you!
