Top 10 Tuesday: Ways to Use Washi Tape

Welcome to Top 10 Tuesday! Technically I posted this on Tuesday (barely) but most of you won’t read this until Wednesday, it’s worth it I promise! Washi Tape is taking the crafting world by storm, seriously I can’t believe how much attention it is getting. I haven’t tried it myself but there are so many ways to use those little spools of tape. This stuff is magical.

Here is a collection of my Top 10 Ways to Use Washi Tape!


 1. Washi Tape Pitcher (How About Orange)


2. Spruce up planters and vases with Washi Tape (Via Centsational Girl)


3. Washi Tape Tin Cans (Via The Crafted Sparrow)


4. Washi Tape Coasters (Via A Pumpkin & a Princess)


5. Washi Tape Window Treatments (Via The 36th Avenue)


6. Washi Tape iPad Cover (Via Little Lucy Lu)


7. Washi Tape Keyboard (Via Mini Fan Fan)


8. Walnut Boats with Washi Tape Sails-are these not the cutest?! (Via Hip Hip Hooray!)


9. Washi Tape Star (Via Paperstitch)


10. Washi Tape Room (We all have time to do this right?) (Via Hello Sandwich)

Have you made anything with Washi Tape recently?! Leave a link, I want to see!

Solving this design dilemma! This large light swit Solving this design dilemma! This large light switch in the middle of the wall has been tricky to decorate around, so I decided to decorate with it, incorporating it into the gallery wall. 

All the prints are purchased from Etsy!  Most frames are from Target.

My goal with every room is to make it feel warm, i My goal with every room is to make it feel warm, inviting and extra cozy. It’s often the final finishing touches that truly transform the vibe of a room. I picked up some final styling pieces from @wayfair , I am obsessed with both side tables. They are both statement pieces. And the personal photos, candle, heart trays and leather pillows are why bring the warmth and personal touches into this space.

I finally found the perfect family and pet-friendl I finally found the perfect family and pet-friendly sofa that passes the designer test! This is the 5-Seat Modular Corner Sectional from @7thavenueco in the color Oatmeal Beige. We ordered it in the extra-deep seat option for ultimate coziness. The material is water-repellent, stain-resistant and you can also throw all covers in the wash!

We cannot say enough great things about this sofa, we all love it and just sink into it. It definitely passes the family test. Plus, it truly is gorgeous. It looks very chic. 

Comment SOFA and I’ll send you the link to this exact one!
