A Super Easy Lantern DIY For The Home

Hurrah!  The weekend is nearly upon us and that means I have some time to do some easy tricks to beautify the home.  On my radar is this beautiful lantern installation, straight from fashion designer Vannessa Bruno's Paris apartment.  I love how she's taken a $7 Ikea lantern and by using them en masse she's created a structural display.  I could see this taking up a unadorned corner of my house!!

A Last Minute Idea To Make Your Home Festive and Entertaining Ready

If you are like me this holiday season probably means a few unexpected guests dropping by for drinks.  One of my favourite ideas to make my home festive and entertaining friendly is to get a string of fairy lights and pop them in a glass dome or vase.  It gives everything a festive feel and keeps the mood lighting cocktail friendly.  Do you have any other last minute ideas to make your home festive and guest ready?
