Jewellery Board - DIY

Buy a canvas from an art store with a staple gun drape your favourite fabric around it. Poke nails/pins through the fabric and hang your favourite pieces. Both useful and aesthetically pleasing and remember you can always change it up!

Overload

Sharing a room with someone at an older age can be very difficult if  your anything like me - I have SO much stuff. Collections of make up, nail polish and jewellery over the years can be overwhelming for any man and mine is no exception. I tend to be a bit messier than my husband but I like to refer to it as more eclectic. I  had to implement some sort of organizational system if i wanted to continue to share a room. My vanity and judy seem to house my stuff quite well. 
Quick tip - use mason jars, trays, tea cups or plates anything that can help group your cosmetics so they appear to be more organized.

Union 613

While visiting Ottawa this weekend I ate at an amazing restaurant called Union 613 the décor caught my eye. Wall sconces and chandeliers were made from old beer bottles and decorative industrial pipes helped create the library of books covering the walls.
