This time last year we put together a round-up of 10 Classic Glam Nurseries, which was a real visual treat and loved by many. But sometimes loving the look of something does not necessarily mean knowing how to pull it off. Here is a step-by-step breakdown of how to put together a classic glam nursery of your own.

Sometimes all you need is a new perspective. You may have gotten used to an ugly clump of tangled cords in a desk drawer, but usually the last thing anybody wants to do is put them out on display. This project by Brit Morin goes to show sometimes putting your gear out for easy access can actually look good.

I recently came across this adorable little vintage milking stool at a pop-up shop, and couldn't wait to get it home. I've been looking for a small step stool to live in my kitchen and this one is sturdy and balanced enough (it's stronger than it looks) for me to use as a quick "leg up." When, I got it, the stool's paint was cracking and peeling, so I couldn't wait to get it home to put this glossy, new orange coat on it. 

It turns out finding the venue and booking a caterer for the wedding was the easy part. Now it's time to track down all of your family and friends to send out Save-the-Date cards. You could do things the old-fashioned way, calling friends and family one by one to painstakingly put together an address book. Or you could use the power of the web to send those requests, collect everyone's responses, and wrap everything together in a tidy little spreadsheet.

We've covered ombre wallpaper before, but did you know it's also relatively easy to paint your own ombre pattern? The Front & Main blog by West Elm shows you how.

Making the leap from IKEA flat-pack to grown-up, solid wood furniture seems daunting when you're on the earlier side of the transition. But if you've ever put together a MALM dresser with a cordless screwdriver, you can probably handle one of these wood projects for your living room. 

If there is one thing I never tire of while working with children's design every day, it's seeing new Scandinavian-style children's rooms. They seem so fresh to my American eyes, so different from the character-driven or über modern bedrooms I'm used to here. In an effort to capture a little bit of Sweden stateside, I've put together a little "how-to" list to get your fjord on.  

We have a soft spot for geometric decor. Not only are the shapes beautiful, but it's a fun, modern trend as well. Here are some ideas for adding a dose of geometry to a kid's room.

What do I love most about this teepee? One, it requires only a few materials from your local Home Depot. And two, it's big enough that even the parents can hang out in it with their kids! (If they're allowed, of course.)
