DIY Wall Pocket Organizers

Although I’ve gotten a lot better about this, I’ve always had a generally hard time letting go of packaging because it would feel so wasteful.  Even if I didn’t know what I’d reuse it for, I’d like to trust that a purpose would soon be realized to justify keeping it, which is why I’m all for a good upcycle or repurposing focused DIY- feels like I’m revisiting where I began with this blog.

The challenge I like to give myself is to make it not so obvious that it’s an upcycle, that the project looks too cute to have once been plastic lotion bottles, oh but that’s actually what these wall pocket organizers used to be!  I partnered with Aveeno® for Earth Month to share about recycling, saving plastic, and making these organizers with your bottles once you’ve used up all the product so we can be guilt-free about where all that plastic is going.

March Favorites

HOME- Linen bedsheets
I splurged on new linen sheets and justified them as an early birthday gift to myself AND I don’t regret it at all.  You already know how deeply I love linen bedding, wrinkles and all, but this blush color put me over the edge.  I haven’t come across anything else like this unique color in bedding.  It’s a soft, grayish blush that’s subtle but still brings in color and confirms that I continue to love blush very much.  Besides that, they’re so so comfortable and feel fresh every time I get in (aaaah, linen.)  This is my first time trying Parachute Home and so far it’s living up to the positive recommendations.  These, and my Brooklinen sets, are my absolute favorite bedding that I’ve tried, but I’d love to get my hands on more linen!

Spring Home Decor Favorites

I don’t mean by the title that these items are specifically suited for Spring, but rather these are the decor items I like right now and right now it’s Spring.  Actually it could mean both, so really I didn’t need to clarify anything.  Where am I going with this??

I always prefer a neutral color palette and this palette is on the lighter side, so in that sense we can say these items are light and bright and match nicely with the sunnier days to come.  Another thing they have in common is that they’re all from H&M Home.  I am an immense super fan of this brand and how so many of their offerings cater to modern, minimal, and Scandinavian design.  The prices are generally a steal and I’m constantly browsing their new arrivals.  This is the result of my most recent browsing binge.

Simple Tips for Arranging Flowers at Home

I strongly believe there doesn’t need to be an occasion for flowers, but the first day of Spring is a pretty good excuse to celebrate with more- that would be today!  I also believe that like with most things related to style, there’s really no wrong way to arrange florals.  There are sometimes however those moments when you might think something looks off or weird to you about your arrangement but you can’t figure out exactly why (I feel you).  In that case, here are some simple and easy tips to help you get started or get you out of a jam with your flower arranging.

Friday Finds

I don’t remember daylight savings ever causing this much trouble sleeping, and maybe I’m scapegoating it, but man I felt like I just couldn’t catch up on sleep this week.  It’s also possible that deciding all the bigger decisions for our wedding in the past few days has taken more out of me, but it’s all SO exciting.  Next is the dress!!  Lots to catch up on over the weekend and a little DIY event on Sunday to look forward to so as per usual, very happy it’s the weekend.  Happy weekend!
