Custom TV stand

Your living room is like the gateway to your home. And yes, a neat TV stand creates a lasting first impression. You can make this space livelier and more unique by creating a custom TV stand that can also act as a room divider. In this idea, start by buying four or five storage boxes, such as the EKET cabinet boxes with doors.

Then, cut two plywood pieces and paint them white or any of your preferred colors. Now secure the plywood pieces to the bottom and back of the boxes using screws. You can also attach custom furniture legs and drill holes for cable management. Lastly, glue and secure wood slats using small nails, then paint everything for uniformity. That’s how to create your custom TV stand.

Pool ball candle holders

Pool ball candle holders are versatile room décor items that can add life to any space in your home. Start by folding an aluminum foil into a small ball-like structure and then covering it with clay. After that, use a candle to create a hollow space, then smooth everything out.

Let the ball dry, and then draw a number with a circled pool ball design on opposite ends. Paint the ball using your preferred color and make the number bolder in black with a white circle space. You can create as many pool ball candle holders as you want.

Gilded square nail key hook

Playhouse Bed Frame DIY

Playhouse Bed Frame DIY

If you’ve already tackled the first DIY from our Fall Hanna Home shoot than you might be ready for something a little bit more labor-intensive. Our prop stylist Dane has an extra special project up his sleeves for you: A Playhouse Toddler-Size Bed Frame! Not for the tool-averse, this project offers challenges and rewards. We recommend an extra set of hands to hold lumber in place and help out with the trickier steps! Here’s what you need to make your own below:

Materials:

– 2 x 2 x 8 wood blocks
– minter saw
– a ruler
– drill
– elmers glue
– wide paint brush
– hammer
– measuring tape
– brackets
– nails
– varnish

 

1. Gather tools and materials pictured above. (Please note: The board feet of lumber will depend on the exact size of your toddler’s mattress and height of your house). Cut (4) 42” vertical 2×2 posts to stand at each corner.

2. Cut 2×2 pieces to create the frame around the bed attaching to the vertical posts at the corners. Pre-drill holes just smaller than your 3” wood screws making sure to put one screw above the other so they don’t hit where they cross. This is an important place to have help stabilizing the corner posts.

3. Attach steel corner brackets to keep things sturdy. Cut 2×2 pieces to go between the posts at the top (same length as pieces directly below. Pre-drill and attach. Steel brackets at these corners too. Attach (2) pieces of 2×2 to form a 90 degree angle for each end of the house. Hold these corners up to the end of the house with the peak centered and mark where they line up with the outside edges of the house.

4. Mitre cut at these marks and attach the roof pieces by pre-drilling before putting in the screw. One piece of 2×2 left to insert between the 2 peaks and the house is finished. For stability I would now cut 1×3 slats at the bottom evenly spaced with about 2” of space between each.

5. Good wood glue should be applied at all wood joins! And steel corner brackets should be installed at all 90 degree joints. Sand and clear coat with a water based non toxic finish.

Enjoy your cool new playhouse bed frame!

What makes a green bomber jacket unique?

First of all, the color green used to dye the fabric has become quite common for jackets and coats these days. However, it remains one of the most popular colors among people who love sports or are active physically. This is because this particular color helps in standing out in the crowd. The popularity of green continues to be high because of its bright and cheerful look, not to mention that it compliments all skin colors easily.

How different is a green bomber jacket from other jackets?

The fabrics used for creating bomber jackets are either made of cotton or nylon or even both. However, the most popular material that is used for this type of casual jacket is nylon. Also known as the flight jacket, bomber jackets come with a fur collar, and ones without it look neat and smart. There is also a front zipper which makes it easier to enter or exit the jacket when needed. Two pockets are sewn on either side of the chest area and they, too, have zippers.

Which style would suit you?

When creating the right style of mens green bomber jacket for you, consider your body type first. It is best to go with something that complements your body type instead of giving it a mismatched look.

Here are some styles that could work well with different kinds of people:

Having so many clothes, yet it doesn’t feel enough? This is every girl’s woe and every boyfriend’s complaint.

It means building a wardrobe you will always love and finding something to wear for every occasion.

This is not a one-day process, and it takes a few days to a few years to create a wardrobe that’s always in fashion. Hence, trust the process and go ahead to read this piece in the DIY Exclusive Girl’s Wardrobe Guide.

  • a White and black t-shirt of good quality at all times. Emphasis on good quality to make sure it lasts long.
  • A good fitting washed jeans that have some legroom for movement.
  • A white and a black fitted plain shirt. An elaborated sleeve is your option.
  • A pencil skirt of beige shades or neutral undertones.
  • A black Blazer that could make everything else look formal or a sheer shrug to add a casual look to your every outfit.

Make sure these are of good quality and last long if ruined or old. Either try to upcycle or throw away without hesitation and refill the staples.

Ace your chic look

Monochromes, lines, and bold colors define the chic look. The best thing about sporting a chic look is that it goes with every occasion. All you need to ace a chic is a very few minimalist things.

  • Fitted skirts are a must, but avoid prints as possible.

The party gal
