DIY Charger Plate

6 / 13 / 186 / 16 / 18

Today I will share with you a very simple and easy DIY.

Since you all know me by now, I love to change my table set up very often.  And since my plates are  Mackenzie Childs  butterfly collection so course I won’t be changing those, that’s why I said Okay I need to DIY something, and the charger plates will be the best option to do it my self 😉

Check out the final picture before I start with the details:

Ramadan Decoration

5 / 28 / 185 / 28 / 18

Ramadan is a  holy month in Islam. It is celebrated by over 1.5 billion people every year all over the world. People that celebrate Ramadan fast for 30 days from sunrise to sunset. No food, no water, nothing. The true idea behind it is to feel with others, be selfless, compassionate, and to slow down our busy life. It has much more meanings that I would like to teach my kids but it is difficult for them to understand it at their young age.  The easiest way was to start the Ramadan Tree tradition. I started it last year for the first time and I plan to make it an annual tradition.

Here in the States, we do not have a true Ramadan feel that other Muslim countries share. Ramadan lasts for 30 days and it is followed by 3 days of celebrations and fun known as Eid.  To celebrate Eid we will share toys and in our family, these toys will be placed under Ramadan tree. It is to make it feel like Christmas which we also celebrate at my home.

This year my Ramadan Tree color palette is black, gold and white.

My Birthday Look

5 / 22 / 185 / 23 / 18

Hello Everyone. Today I want to share with you what I wore on my birthday celebration last Friday. My official birthday is on May 21st, but since it was a Monday I decided to celebrate a few days earlier. 

First I wanted a black white or gold outfit, but since I started looking 3 days ahead of the occasion, I couldn’t find anything that I like. So I decided to wear this dress instead and I’m so glad that I did.

How to Gold Leaf Cups

4 / 27 / 184 / 27 / 18

Hello everyone, I just realized that I didn’t write any post for the past month. Wow, time really flies. I’m tackling few projects at a time and of course, none of them is completely done, so if you follow me my Instagram, you’ll know what I’m talking about. I’m almost done with my closet and pantry and hopefully, the reveal should be soon.  So I thought to write about an easy DIY project that I did it 4 years ago: How to apply gold leaf on glass cups.

Black and White Stylish Bench

3 / 23 / 183 / 24 / 18

If I had to refinish and repurpose all the items that I own, I would have done time and time again. Unfortunately, with my busy life, this fun hobby is almost impossible. In the past couple of years, I managed to find some way to do some of the items that I love. The bench shown below is one of those items.

DIY: Baby Food Jar Recycle

1 / 31 / 182 / 6 / 18

This is a throwback to 2014. I painted and took pictures of these jars 4 years ago but I never had the chance to write the post.

After breastfeeding my first child for 9 months and a half (yes the half is more important than the 9 months lol), I was determined to only feed him homemade food. First few months I started cooking for him and he loved my food. All was good until my sister and her family came to visit. I got distracted by them and I didn’t have enough time to cook. Instead, I took the easy route of the ready baby food jars.  When they left back home, I resumed the cooking and I  used these jars when I’m out of the house ( or when I didn’t feel like cooking 😉 )

Their adorable and cute shape made me save them for future DIYs . Removing the Gerber label was an easy task, just soak the jars in hot water overnight or throw them in the dishwasher. Then I spray paint the lids and add a label sticker and voila… All done

Gold Leaf End Table

1 / 18 / 182 / 6 / 18

I think you all know by now that I love metallic finishes. So when I wanted to restore this antique style end table I chose to gild it. 

In a previous post, I showed the details of how to silver leaf a dresser.  It is a little bit time-consuming but the end result is well worth it.  This time I used gold leaf papers, I chose pale tone gold, I don’t like the very brassy gold color. As for pulls, I was so excited when I found these black white and gold pulls. They matched perfectly my courtly check Mackenzie Childs pieces. 

Here are the pictures:

My Living room

9 / 15 / 131 / 19 / 18

Hello… Do you remember me??? Well, finally I’m back after a long hibernation. It is been almost a year. Twelve months have passed and it just hit me.

 

My son is now 30 weeks, and tonight I decided that I should get back to blogging. It is not easy being a mom and I don’t know how the moms out there can handle it. I have just one baby ( God bless him) but I’m so exhausted 🙂

 
Now let’s get to business. These are edited pictures of my living room. These pictures were taken in November of 2012.  It was a very gloomy day like really really gloomy 🙂 so the pictures were not the best because it took a lot of editing to get this result.

– Master Bedroom Reveal

5 / 25 / 121 / 19 / 18

Finally, our master bedroom is finished, I cant say finished but at least I can share some pictures with you. I took these picture about a month now but I didn’t have any free time to edit them.

In this room, you will see some familiar furniture pieces if you are already a follower but now you will see them where they belong 🙂

 
As you can see the color palette is Black, White, Silver, and Purple. I changed this rug to a purple one but I didn’t take any new pictures, I will soon update these.
 

 
 

You can see how I transformed an old settee into this glamorous purple settee here. And this small silver pillow was made by moi 😉

 

This Silver Leaf  French Provincial Dresser made me so famous on blog land so I cant love it more 🙂 you can check out here the full post about it.

 

My bed frame is from IKEA and the Moroccan Duvet cover is from Homegoods. You can see here my stenciled wall canvas.

 
This is also from IKEA, like 3 years ago IKEA was my favorite furniture store,  I used to love the modern clean lines decor but now I like to mix and match, clean lines with some curvy ones :)))
 
 
 
 

You can see my DIY table lamp here and I forgot to take a good picture of my no sanding spray painted black nightstand so you can check the post here

If you noticed I’m taking pictures for just the right side of the room….I will confess I still didn’t paint the other walls 😀 they are an ugly beige color…I purchased the paint color Silver Grey since August yes yes I’m that Lazy …well not just lazy I was thinking should I stencil this steel dark grey wall ( the accent wall) or I shouldn’t since we are renting…and also after I saw how my silver leaf dresser looked great next to a Turquoise wall I started to not liking this much my accent wall color :)))

So I need your help Should I stay with this color palette or Should I spice it up a notch ??? I’m still in the thinking process since August till now lol

– My Guest Bedroom Reveal

1 / 27 / 121 / 19 / 18

I know some of you might already see this post under my Home Tour page but I’m organizing my blog with new pictures, trying my best to improve my pictures quality but since this room is so dark I think for now these are the best pictures I can take 🙁

Remember, we are renting so no major renovations 🙂 Before I show you the  pictures I want to tell you that I hate the wall color, this being said, then you can start the tour with some before pictures:

 

And here is the after:
After I stained the console table here.

and spray painted the brass wall sconces here.

If you can see in the before picture, the headboard was natural light wood from IKEA, it didn’t match the decor at all so I had to spray paint it silver.

 

I even painted this end table silver, since it is not that practical I will replace it when I find the right nightstand.

 

You can see  here how I painted this black mirror.

 

here for the Chandelier canvas

I don’t like to paint the inside of the furniture, so this vinyl worked perfectly with the colors of the room

 

I can’t believe I found those knobs at Homegoods!

 

The Blue Evil Eye Painting is a gift from my Mom ( she is an artist), you can find some of her paintings here.
