Weekly Motivation: There's No Time Like the Present

via DesignSponge

Sometimes the best way to motivate yourself is to take it slow. Paying attention to a task along the way to its completion can be just as fulfilling as the product itself. One of the best cases is DIY projects. What is more satisfying than the knowledge that you can make anything more beautiful and meaningful with your own hands? Below are some steps on creating inspiring 'florals' from fallen leaves. The rest is over at DesignSponge.

The full step-by-step process.

Monday Motivation: Embrace Nature Year Round

With fall weather approaching, it is only natural to escape the cold and seek solace indoors. I can appreciate the change in the landscape during the fall/winter seasons, but I will miss the life and color I see during the warmer months. One solution is to bring the outside in with beautiful plants you can enjoy year-round. Now there are creative ways to display them and give your home a unique organic feel, even when the landscape outside your window is lacking.

Green Things- Etsy Favorites

Etsy is one of my favorite sites to survey one-of-a-kind items. They always have a special element to them, whether it's because they are handmade by an independent crafts person, or they are vintage pieces that tell stories of the past. The unique things always spark my imagination, encouraging me to ask questions like 'I wonder what the person who made the green pillow is like...Are they eco-conscious?' or 'What's the journey of the 1930's typewriter?' Etsy is great because it gives you a chance to make meaning out of everyday items.
You can find these items here:
70's pants, 1930's typewriter, Tall grass pillow, Amazonite ring, Abstract waves painting.
