DIY Bathroom Cabinet from "Upcycle That"


Ok....so I will be moving in a couple of months and I want to decorate a new place with DIY style.  ^___^ 


I was looking for ideas and found this awesome Bathroom cabinet done by Upcycle That. I am going to do this one for sure. I need to check out where I can find a nice old window. So excited!


Here's their Link to this project if you want to check it out!  http://www.upcyclethat.com/diy-bathroom-cabinet/6446/






DIY Jewelry Box

Don't throw away your Chocolate Boxes!


I was going to make a video of this but I got a little lazy. This is more of an idea than how-to-do instruction so you can take the idea and be creative. 

GODIVA chocolate boxes are perfect for storing tiny precious jewelries and accessories. Boxes themselves are very well made and sturdy but what makes these boxes so special is the sectional plastic tray. It gives individual jewelry pieces to have their own space avoid clumping.

PLUS, you can make an awesome looking jewelry box after treating yourself with delicious chocolates. 

 

This is the final look! I added a tiny figurine as a lid handle. I love this little guy.  :D



MATERIALS:


  


STEPS:

Paint the figurine (optional): Totally optional step! If you choose to paint it, use any media. I used nail polish because I had an old one in color that I wanted.


     


         

Let's decorate the insert paper layer: You need to keep the insert paper layer because it adds protective layer between the box and the plastic tray. If you are missing this paper layer, you can use a thick cardboard paper instead.


     



             

Box Lid Decoration: I used glitters to add little spark in my jewelry collection but you can use anything to decorate the lid. Decorative tape can be fun too as well as pictures or paper stocks.





     

Let's revisit our little guy: Since I used nail polish to change the color, I added one more step to give it a little more shine using top coat.  ;)

   
  


Time to attach the little guy: Once again, you can use any objects of your choice for lid handle. Or you can skip it and keep it simple. 



Hope you enjoyed it and like my idea!  If you get to make your own chocolate jewelry box, share your creations with me on here. I'd love to see yours!!!  ^____^

MEET Muggy the Pug


Hi, my name is MUGGY! 


I am a 8-year-old pug and a proud resident of Silly Apartment. I love eating, running, napping, sunbathing, and playing with my favorite ball. My favorite color is BLUE. I don't know why but I go crazy when I see the color blue...






And I have the BEST mommy in the world! She makes me yummy foods everyday. 






Although mommy's not very good at playing, she got me a monkey to play with. My monkey loves to play with balls too but he only likes to throw them. But it's ok... because I like to chase them! 




















And I have a goofball in my life ever since I remember. He does silly things with me all the time and he's holding too many embarrassing photos of me hostage. I need to make a plan to retrieve them!


  

That is all! Mommy has a night snack for me before bed. Gotta run!

Come and visit our Silly Apartment often because it's fun!





Monday at Silly Apartment



This is how we beat Monday Blues at Silly Apartment!  ^__^



I don't know about you, but I need a little kick on Mondays. Plus, it's always good to start the week with good vibes.  

 
This morning I toasted left over Ciabatta Bread with unsalted butter and added little topping with French Strawberry Jelly. Italian meets French!  ;)  And I paired it with sweet Masala Chai. Ciabatta bread was surprisingly yummy with butter. It was a perfect way to start the week!





I want to hear from you!!!


How do you beat your awful Monday blues? and What is your favorite Monday breakfast?
