DIY: Make Your Own Wall Stickers
Yesterday, I showed you a before and after of Pinupsweetheart's cool bedroom. If you were as wowed by the results as I was (seen here), then I have good news for you. Pinupsweetheart told us the short version of how to make this project, and now I've got the skinny on showing you the step-by-step process.
Before and After: Pinupsweetheart's Gorgeous Boudoir Walls
TeamSugar member Pinupsweetheart recently wrote to tell me about her awesome DIY project for livening up her walls. She writes, "I have wanted to find an inexpensive way to decorate my boring white walls of my apartment ever since I moved in. Of course, my lease does not allow me to paint.
Etsy Find: A Gnome For Your Home
Wall stickers may be waning in popularity, but I still have a soft spot for any stickers made in particularly fresh designs. This Gnomes and Mushrooms Decal ($16) is one of the cutest things I've seen in a long time.
I have a keen affection for gnomes as it is, but when they're reinterpreted in solid black, they take on a surprisingly modern air.
This Just In: More Interiors from Project Runway
Did you catch the first episode of Project Runway season 5 on Wednesday? While I was initially afraid that I couldn't put season 4 behind me, luckily, I was hooked on the new cast of designers within the first 10 minutes. (I was definitely lured in by Blayne and his insane tanning obsession, as well as his leotard creation).
Etsy Find: Plants For the Perpetually Plant-Challenged
If you're the type of gal who destroys even those hard-to-kill houseplants, consider trading in your dying snake plants for the Outside In wall graphic ($30). Made from cut vinyl with a matte surface finish, this graphic can be easily applied to walls, windows, mirrors, and other smooth, clean surfaces. The graphic is self-adhesive and easily removable.

Etsy Find: Wordy Wall Stickers
If you're short on cash and decorating time, wall stickers can provide an instant update on a tired space. I've recently been enjoying the cheekiness of word-oriented wall stickers, such as this Hello Sticker ($6) from TastySuite. Its unexpected placement on the bottom corner of a door is a simple and unexpected delight.
Nice and New: Fresh Finds at Ferm Living
One of my favorite wallpaper retailers, Ferm Living, has a few new things in store that I'm really loving. First of all, I think the way this Sewing Kit Wall Sticker ($57.50) is staged is absolutely hilarious. I think it would be clever to use it around a window or doorway in your home, especially one that doesn't have a lot of molding.
Crave Worthy: Ugly Home Lustre Sticker
We've been all about chandeliers lately on CasaSugar, but most of the truly magnificent models are a lot of trouble to install. This version, on the other hand, turns any bare hanging light bulb into a regal, elegant fixture — well, sort of. The Ugly Home Lustre Sticker (about $140) adheres to your ceiling to create the silhouette of a chandelier.
Su Casa: A Glamorous Bathroom
Su Casa member ckim8120, who made this chic tree branch jewelry stand, has taken her keen design eye to the bathroom. She started with painting the walls three shades of Behr green: Spring Hill, Mint Hint, and Athenian Green. Then, she applied IKEA SLÄTTHULT decorative stickers ($19.99) to the wall with a vine-like effect, and installed an IKEA KRISTALLER Chandelier ($39.99).
DIY: Reglazed Silhouette Plates
I'm always tempted by the quirky china I find at thrift stores and flea markets, but I really don't have an excuse to buy a bunch of unmatched dinnerware. That is, until I discovered this cool project from green guru Danny Seo on creating Reglazed Silhouette Plates. (Thanks, Modern Roost.)
Though this project requires pottery glaze, you won't need a kiln or any other obscure tools.
