A Drip Pan & a Dog Bed...

Last weekend, we were relaxing at a cabin & my husband brought me the morning paper & said, "Look!"

And what did I see???
This article

Erica is a TALENTED designer, who is also a good friend with my sis-in-law, so we get to cross paths from time to time & I felt so cool to KNOW someone that was in the PAPER!

She has some GREAT DIY TIPS to share in the article, including...
customizing your curtains,

re-covering a lampshade, 

making artwork with song lyrics,

painting wall stripes

and making an ottoman from a dog bed.

Wait...hold up, did that article just say she made an OTTOMAN from a DOG BED? 

she sure did & I am in LOVE with it!
