Coffee Table Tutorial(ish)!

I just LOVE this.

Miss Tori found this door in her travels, painted it, sealed it, added legs and voilà: our new, rugged, chic coffee table.

Very easy to do. It literally took fifteen minutes to put together. First, buy these silver things at your local hardware store. You should actually screw them in to the thicker part of the wood, closer to the edge. We had to move ours after we already screwed in the legs. Minor glitch, but we got past it, no worries.

Next, screw on the legs. You'll need six, fifteen-inch wooden planks. Four in the corners, two in the middle because the door is loooonnngg.

Haaaay Tooorrr!

Then flip it over so the AWESOME side shows and you have yourself a pretty bitchin' coffee table, my friend.

Ta da!

Ugh, now back to homework. Until the next craft!

"Junk" Box

A pretty little something for our kitchen table to keep odds and ends in...

By odds and ends, of course I mean rolling papers and lighters... It matches our ash tray and FamDin donation tin. Next kitchen project: Matching table cloth!

You WISH you were all as lucky as me. A fantastic snapshot from a night out on the town at the Good Life where Mr. Damien Paul Dong was spinning up a storm.. Of course by "night out on the town" I mean $3.00 PBRs and catching the T home..... Buy my aprons so I can get a mixed drink next time, okay?

This is Mia. She is a cat sack. She is not a fan of Scoobie. The end!

FamDin Donation Tin

As we all know, Monday's are the worst day of the week. In order to combat the gloom and doom of your typical Monday, the residents of 18 Dolly have instituted the fantastical Monday Night Family Dinner. However, being broke college students, I made a donation tin so everyone can pitch in.

Super adorable, no? See you all tomorrow night. Can't wait for pudding pie....

Tori's newest upcycling creation: The Greek Flag.

We hung her work in between her and Peter's room. They're both Greek but instead of putting windex on everything, they use turpinoid. I present to you, The Greek Quarter of 18 Dolly:

The Havdallah Apron

Every once in a while I make an apron that I can't let go of...

I made this in one day for a Havdallah party I had at my apartment. Its made from old curtains, entirely hand stitched because my sewing machine was in New York. This was my first attempt at gathering fabric, too!

Ta da! I know you're supposed to use yarn or whatever.. but c'mon! I had an apron to make!!
