Weekend Inspiration: No. 50

Weekend Inspiration: No. 50

I’m really sorry for the short posts this week, guys, but it’s all for a very exciting reason! My parents are moving here from an hour and a half out of town, and this week has been full of big stuff (think: inspections, last-minute home tours, offers submitted and ACCEPTED).

It’s been a little on the emotional, albeit exciting, side of things and I’m right there in the thick of things with them since they live a ways away and I want to make myself as available as I can for them. Fingers crossed that it all works out, but in the meantime, here’s a sneak peek of the design inspiration I’ve pulled together to help distract my parents from the “not fun” stuff, like contracts. Maybe when all is said and done they’ll let me share new room tours, furniture makeovers, and before/after renovations using their new home as a blank canvas! Would you be into that?

Anyway, until things settle down behind the scenes with that, posts might be a little on the shorter side around here. Luckily, I’ve built up a solid collection of stories for Hunker over the past month, so I’ll be able to send you along to their website to read my longer-form words if that’s what you prefer. Enough of my scatterbrained rambling, though…Let’s get to this week’s list of cool links!

Weekend Inspiration: No. 50

1. As spring inches its way closer and closer, I can’t help but crave fresh sweet treats like the homemade lemon lavender muffins I made last year with the folks over at Farmhaus Coffee Co.

2. This list of 28 ethical clothing brands to support really caught my eye since I’ve become more interested in “slow fashion” in the last six months or so.

3. Thanks to the list I linked to above, I discovered a new-to-me sustainable brand to love (not to mention this amazing striped box-top!).

4. Need more shelf styling motivation ahead of the weekend? Here’s everything you need to get started.

5. Spring might be less than two weeks away, but that doesn’t mean it’s suddenly going to be 70 degrees outside. So I’m bookmarking this tutorial for a DIY flannel frog to keep my feet warm throughout the transition.

6. What a smart way to rethink wallpaper!

7. Have you scoped out Collection No.5 in the DGD Pottery shop yet? A handful of items are still on sale through the weekend, so don’t wait if you’ve had your eye on something.

Hack IKEA Baskets Into Succulent Shelves

Hack IKEA Baskets Into Succulent Shelves

While I’m well aware that not everyone can get on board with the faux plant trend, I can’t help but appreciate the whole “zero maintenance” aspect of the idea. I tend to struggle with keeping live plants, well…alive…so you’ll find silk plants tucked all around our house.

It’s not just because I missed out on the green thumb gene that I’ve gone “faux” with greenery, though. Our pets can’t get enough of nibbling on live trailing leaves, and although I’ve triple checked that the rooted plants we do have are okay for their systems, I still don’t love the idea of them snacking on anything other than their vet-approved kibbles. So, it’s just another big reason for me to succumb to the draw of fake plants.

The good news is that today’s DIY craft doesn’t have to involve faux plants. Whether you choose live succulents or the silk IKEA option I suggest over on the full tutorial here, you can still get this look in 10 minutes or less. Hop over to Hunker for the shopping list and step-by-step instructions for hacking my favorite 3-piece basket set into wall-mounted succulent holders. Oh, and make sure you keep scrolling through the tutorial for an alternative use for the displaced basket tops, too!
