I recently found Jenny Komenda’s wonderful blog, Little Green Notebook and every post wants me to try to do more DIY projects. Or more accurately, ANY DIY project since my current tally on those is ZERO.

And I don’t know why since my mother was a DIY queen before anyone was saying “DIY.” Not sure what they called it back then…probably something along the lines of “can’t afford the expensive stuff.” But either way – I grew up in a beautiful home full of refinished and refurbished treasures.

Even more inspirational, this blog was ultimately a springboard for a decorating business, Pearl Street Interiors. Who knows what mom could have done with a blog way back when…

I also just love the site design. If you’re not familiar with the site check it out today!


can't wait to check it out! i'm sure i'll love it!
Gorgeous!!! I had to do a double take though… we just choose that fabric in the background of that last picture for some pillows on a window seat in our breakfast nook. I am in love with it!!
I am so lame when it comes to DIYs and there are so many fabulous ones out there!
