DIY Pallet Beds

This gorgeous reading bed assembled by photographer Ashley Ann for her child's nursery from storage pallets is another good example how you don't need to spend lots of money to have something functional and beautiful at the same time. I just love how the space between the pallets function as a natural storage shelf for books and magazines.

A Love Affair with Coffee Filters

I simply love the romantic vintage hues of these garlands put together by Pam Garrison. Who would have thought these were made from coffee filters, sewing pattern paper, tissue paper and string! I am so inspired by these to make one and string in some pearls. She also made some gorgeous pom poms (below), also from coffee filters.
