First of all, kudos to Laurie of Scene of the Grime for finding such an intricate manhole cover. I’ve never seen one quite like this before, with all these lines and detail. Cool! Laurie not only snagged it from the … Read More...
How cute and easy are these? Gina, over at The Shabby Chic Cottage, shows you how simple it is to make these. All you need are seashells, something to hold them steady (Gina uses a bowl of sand), some Plaster … Read More...

I think these are so cool that you don’t even need to have a nautical decorating theme for them to look chic. While I love the color choices that Stephanie chose, you could paint them whatever fits in at your … Read More...
