So loving this right now. Simple and elegant framed paper hearts by sarahandbendrix on etsy.
I can imagine making this for the new home, and as gifts for friends.
Excited. Excuse me while I go grab some Ikea frames ;)

DIY Taxidermy: No Animals Harmed
Don't ask why I need a deer/antelope head in my home. But hey, this is a cool tutorial.
This is one of those tutorials I want to embark on but have no idea whether I will have any patience to see it through. So ... I'll just link it to my blog for now. Until 612CPD7879 is ready!
DIY: Dry Brush Painting
Gorgeous work from Design*Sponge.
I am tempted to try this on the Ikea Muddus laminated table I've recently inherited from office, courtesy of LY. Trouble is mine is BRIGHT yellow. Had initially wanted to just paint it plain white, but it makes more sense to buy a brand new one ($69) from the Alexandra store.
So, I might as well try something more daring. Need to decide on colour and style, but first I need to know how I can prime the table top (made of particleboard, melamine foil and ABS plastic) for paint.
This particular post on How to Paint Laminate Wood Cabinets seem promising. And here's another, although the former seems like a more thorough walkthrough.
The steel legs (with pigmented epoxy and polyester powder coating) look easy enough. They just need a good sanding down.
