turning ordinary objects into extraordinary decor

I’m always amazed by the DIY projects that people come up with…and with everyday items that I would least expect! Take, for instance a suitcase, coffee filter, PVC pipe, tea cup, tree stump and BBQ Bamboo Skewer. All great everyday items, but add a little creativity…and voila, extraordinary decor!

Sunflower Cupcakes and Potted Mint Pudding

Sunflowers make me happy, and food makes me happy too, so both of them combined is pure bliss. I love this simple and adorable Sunflower Cupcake Cake idea from Martha Stewart Living magazine, March 2011.

And if your bringing “plants” in to your kitchen (and your belly), these Potted Chocolate Mint Puddings look delicious and fun for the kiddos too.

hardware candle holder

My husband is a builder (a very good one at Gregg and Co Builders), but I am not a frequent visitor to the local hardware store. HOWEVER, I may become friends with our local hardware store clerk after watching an episode of The Nate Berkus Show recently.

Check out these amazing candelabra’s made from plumbing pipes. Who knew something so “manly” could be used as a table setting? This would be a great addition to a table for your man’s surprise birthday party, or your little man’s construction-themed party.
