Gussying Up

To gussy up, to embellish. Here are some (cheap!) ways to gussy. I will teach you how to gussy.




for those hollow doors (I have some in my house, might have to get out some masking tape this weekend)




also a super easy trick, looks like paneling/trim treatment, but it's just paint, be sure to measure though - crooked fake trim is no good.

silver spray paint makes a maaaajor statement, always. case closed.




gold paint on the corners of an ikea frame, turns the reba into a campaign beaut.




you can even gussy up a jello shot.
Happy Thursday of this lovely little short week!

Throwbacks

I'm sensing a return to the traditional. As I've been scouring fabrics recently I've noticed a resurgence in toile, embroidery, flame stitch and moire (silks that look like they have wood grain pronounced moooowaaah rey).

However, they aren't in ho-hum reds, blacks, royal blues like your mother's, grandmother's, great great aunt's toile bedroom curtains, dust ruffle, table skirt - you know the room I'm talking about. They're in fresh colors that would be quite cool paired with trendier fabrics.
