Handmade Walls

By

Well, I was hoping to be over this cold by now, but not only is it still completely rockin’ my world- I woke up with pink eye yesterday, too. And by pink “eye”, I mean pink eyes. Sheesh! Anywho, I’ve been trying my hardest to take it easy. Resting, reading…all that good stuff. Yesterday, I e-read Handmade Walls, by our local friends, Ashley and Jamin Mills…

I knew those two were creative…

…but man it was cool to see how they break down the methods to their magnificence, step-by-step style!

Their e-book walked me through the creation of 22 different projects. Each of them varied slightly in cost-to-make and level of difficulty, and each of them had it’s own nifty name. One of my favorites is the Stanley. Here’s a sneak peek…

And here’s a sneak peek at some of the other goodies included in their book:

    I’m an RN, and here’s my $.02 – I bet you have allergies. At any rate, if you’re still not feeling better you might want to get to the doctor. A cold shouldn’t linger like this.

    In the meantime, clear your schedule for about 8 hours and take some benadryl. It WILL knock you out, but it’s the best way of figuring out whether what you’re dealing with is an allergic response or not. Obviously, it will do nothing to determine what you’re allergic to, but if it is allergic, you and your doc can come up with a plan to treat it, including possible (non-drowsy!) medication.

    Feel better!

    I’d love a copy- can’t quite get the whole wall decorating thing down (if you’d seen my walls, you’d know I’m not lying!).

    I found the handmade home a few months ago and instantly LOVED their style. I wish I had the guts to use all of that funky fun color in my house! I think I “pinned” just about every picture of their home on my pinterest boards (as I did yours) 🙂 I would love to read their e-book. I bet it’s full of some amazing ideas just like their blog!

    Hi Layla, I love reading your posts from here on the Kwa-Zulu Natal North Coast in South Africa! My hubby and I adore DIY and we would LOVE to read Handmade Walls and get some new inspiration. Thanks for The Lettered Cottage X

    Layla Honey,
    If you have a cold that is lingering too long, please consider it might be allergies. I have a long history with seasonal allergies and tis the season. Even if you have not been allergic in the past, our bodies change. Plus, this seems to be a year of excess with pollens. Before I got a handle on this, I was sick every spring.
    Hope you feel better soon.
    OH, I would love to have a copy of this book!
