We are finally adjusting to living into our new home. We are so happy and it was a great move for us at the perfect time. It was a long time coming, and worth the wait.

While we started unpacking we realized right away that the shelving in our new place is relatively weak. So we worked through it and figured out How To Reinforce Metal Shelving in Any Home.

Easy DIY String Fringe Tutorial

April 10, 2019 By Meegan 11 Comments

Well, well! We finally moved into our new place almost two weeks ago. But, time has flown by me without even a blink. The day after we moved in, I was HIT by the flu. I mean, it rocked my boat. Feverish, nausea, sleeping continually. I haven’t been that sick in years. It took me about ten days before I could even walk outside to see our new surroundings. Whew! I am glad my husband didn’t get it, and I hope you don’t get it either! But, while I was lying around, I thought about decorating our new home. I thought about the style I want to create, the colors and crafts to make our home fresh. One thing that I did was to make an Easy DIY String Fringe Tutorial.

I could see it i my mind before I even made it. I knew I had the string and all I would need would be a few other components to make an Easy DIY String Fringe Tutorial.

It is really simple and super easy to make. You can use it for party decorations, Boho style decor, adding some flair to your vintage pieces or even as a garland for a mantel.

As most of you know, we live in a teeny, tiny condo. Soon we will be moving to a “new to us” apartment. It will be a little bigger than where we are now. BUT, we still won’t have a garage. That means I need to create some DIY Small Apartment Storage Ideas.

Since living in a small space for years now, with limited areas for storage, I have used my laundry “closet” for our garage supplies.
