amhart1's diy dorm!

She made the upholstered headboard herself. Plus, that skyline... she diy'ed it by using black tape and a straight edge. Loving the pretty ruffles of the bedding.
A nice clean desk space complete with little cactus plants and a diy message board.
One very small and easy way to add spunk to a room: cover the light-switch plate in a pattern.
A diy message board with magnets on the back so it can hang on the fridge.
She decorated wooden numbers to represent her area code.
A diy peace sign that lights up her room at night.
A diy jewelry holder that keeps all her necklaces on display and untangled.
A diy pendant lamp made using straws and frying baskets.
Diy wall decor fabric hoops dress up the empty walls in the bathroom.

Did she make the frames on the bookshelf and on top of the fridge? Those are super cute.

how to you make the peace sign?

the frames are made with 2 cheap $1 frames glued together with painted clothes pins, there is also a night light inserted in the frame box to backlight the photos

the peace sign is made from an extra thick poster board (like the kinds you used to use for science fairs). I drew out the shape of the peace sign and made a graph to evenly space the lights, then I used a pencil to poke a hole on the graph and inserted the christmas lights.

DIY Cat Barrier for Under $100 (See-Through, Climb-Proof, and Too-Tall-To-Jump)

ICYMI: I gave up Cotton after deciding that after trying so many things, my two adopted cats Dahlia and Cotton were just never going to get along. Long story short: I missed her. And Cotton's back. And Dahlia's not going anywhere. My heart is big enough to keep trying. And my apartment is big enough that if I need to keep them separated long term (or permanently), it can be done.
I'm going to write-up a separate post about some of the solutions I've tried, how they worked, who they worked on, and what I'll be trying next. But in this post, I wanted to share the main 'piece de resistance' of having both cats in my apartment: an un-climbable, un-jumpable, see-through barrier to separate Cotton and Dahlia.

Blair's Room | Gossip Girl Decor

Manhattan's debutante Blair Waldorf happens to be my favorite Gossip Girl character.  Her behavior and feelings vary from snobbish to sensitive, but she always (except for a few rare occasions) looks and acts totally pulled together.  Her luxurious bedroom is fit for a queen---and is as pulled together as her preppy fashion ensembles.
