At the start of this year, I set a goal to tackle at least one DIY project a month from my ever-growing Pinterest boards for our home and business. I kicked things off with this easy painted doormat to welcome customers into our flower shop, inspired by this Pin that sent me down a rabbit hole of
Step-hem jeans are a big trend right now, with raw hems that are cut higher in the front than the back. (Think: mullet jeans.) You could get the look for $229 with Paige’s Jaqueline jeans, or find a pair of straight jeans in your closet and make your own. I’m taking scissors to most of my denim

Break out those old boring booties, ya’ll; it’s time for a super simple restyle. Back in my early days of blogging, I remember a DIY project on another blog (sadly whose URL I cannot recall) in which the blogger transformed a pair of basic black platforms by covering the entire wedge base in brass thumbtacks.
