Pin-speration: Hello, Halloween!

Posted on October 24, 2012 by katiecoakley • 2 Comments

I’ll admit it. Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. It’s not the candy (though I’m not adverse to those mini Reese’s cups); it’s not the movie marathons showing Friday 13th Part 37 or Halloween 200 (though I did watch An American Werewolf in London this afternoon); it’s not the cute little kids dressed up … Continue reading →

Pin-speration: Wall Art into Jewelry Display

I love jewelry, particularly earrings. My problem arose when I realized that I was not utilizing my jewelry to its full advantage.

The Cocktails and Canvas class at Alpine Arts Center last week was … Continue reading →

I saw this cool idea in an issue of Martha Stewart Living and, while most of her “projects” have way too many steps for me, I couldn’t resist trying this Picture Rail Shoe Rack. Here is her version: And here is my version: While she has several pieces positioned one above the other, I chose … Continue reading →

Jewelry Display Frames

Posted on October 11, 2011 by katiecoakley • Leave a comment

I love getting catalogs–especially design catalogs like Pottery Barn, Ballard Designs, Crate and Barrel, etc. The best is when I see something that I love the look of, but that I can create for much less than the price tag in the catalog. I may not always get around to doing it, but it’s great … Continue reading →
