Ikea Hacks

I have been drooling over this site ever since I started picking out furniture for my apartment this past summer. O'verlays is a site that sells panels specifically to dress up Ikea furniture. You can either shop by furniture piece or design. I absolutely love this idea Danika and Cheryle have created, it's beyond genius and a much cheaper alternative!  

These are just some of the patterns you can purchase. I'm personally a huge fan of the Greek Key pattern...

...and possibly recreating this beautiful piece! I've been needing just a little bit more room for all my clothes and this would be such a fun project. 

This smaller Malm Dresser would probably be more my size. (Loving the gold on white look!)

Seriously, how cute is this?! The Lack tables are at most $12.99 and the Greek Key Corners are a fabulous finishing touch.

I may need to start this project in the very near future!

Rabbit Rabbit

Can you believe it's already October?! I can't. This whole 90-degree weather thing is really throwing me off. I miss New England, especially it's transition from summer to fall. Crisp mornings, apple picking and leaves changing are all pretty nonexistent down here. I have to admit the mornings have been a little bit chillier and I don't feel that instant wave of heat when I'm walking to my car (hooray!). 
I was so tempted to buy a pumpkin when I went to the grocery store yesterday but I thought I should wait until the calendar actually read October. Instead, I went home and found these two (super cute!) pumpkin ideas. By now I'm sure you understand my love for both monograms and chevron print so you could understand my excitement when I came across these pictures on Pinterest. Best ideas hands down. I'm so eager to start them! 

This would look great on my little balcony, very festive!
