Thrity Thursday: Coffee Filter Wreath

 

It has been awhile since I made anything crafty.

So, I found some DIY inspiration last week on Pinterest!

Coffee Filter Wreath

Items Needed:
Pool Noddle (Dollar Tree)

Coffee Filters (100-150)
Hot Glue & Gun

Duct Tape
Ribbon

Step #1

Use the duct tape to secure your noodle into a circle.
My wreath measured about 15"

Step #2

Pinch and scrunch your coffee filter, put glue on the tip- place onto wreath for a second or two to secure in place.

 Continue this until your wreath is full!

 It took me about 1.5 hours to complete.

Step #3

Glue your ribbon onto the back, and just like that- a beautiful new wreath!

All for under $5.00

Happy DIY-ing!

Indoor/Outdoor Living

Lately I have been so inspired by the thought of indoor/outdoor living.

So I wanted to share with you some great spaces that I have come across.

Outdoor Patio

I love how the furniture is set up here, it creates a great space for lounging and entertaining.

Doors & Large Windows 

Once these doors are open, it doubles your living space.

How beautiful is this!?

You truly feel, one with nature in this home.

I love the open kitchen concept here.

These garage style doors- are a neat, industrial architectural element to add.

 

Indoor/Outdoor Bathrooms

This bathroom has so many things going for it.

Rustic elements with the vanity

Industrial concrete flooring

Reclaimed wood for the open shower

I love it all!

Again! How can you not just die for this bathroom!

It would be so relaxing to have a soak in that lovely tub.

Completely Outdoors

 

I almost have no words for the gorgeous home.

It is completely immersed in nature.

What a beautiful retreat.

City & Suburban Living

Even if you live in the city, there are ways to create indoor/outdoor living.

This picture really showcases that.

 

They have done a wonderful job creating a lovely outdoor living space.

So comfortable for entertaining.

I hope these spaces inspire you as well. Especially, as the weather starts to warm up. What better way to spend your time- than to be outdoors with the ones you love.

Before & After: Children's Dental Office

Last year we completed a remodel at a children's dental office.
It was our first medical office building project-- which we were very excited about. But also, very nervous to do it at the same time.
We worked through many changelings- permits, inspections, medical gas removal, jack hammering the slab, adding new plumbing, removing old, removing walls, painting, flooring--- all while they were still open for business Monday through Friday!

Demo

The first step of demo, was to relocate their X-Ray machine, out of the lobby and into their hygiene area.  

Removal of the lobby wall, door & flooring.

We removed the bathroom completely.

 We learned a great deal during this project. It is always fun as a designer to be able to work on many different types of projects. Especially if it's out of your norm, and your comfort zone.

I think it helps you grow more.

We could not have been more pleased with the outcome of this project.
The clients were so happy with our work, they asked us to do the work on Phase II in the coming year.
