With a little wintry magic (plus ornaments and wooden dowels), it's easy to turn inexpensive supplies into a dramatic, long-lasting decoration.

We're taking dessert into outer space with this super simple technique.

No need to reupholster your outdoor furniture! Spruce up your front porch swing, bench, or favorite backyard lounging spot with a fresh, outdoorsy design. 

If you have the itch to stitch, but not from scratch, take this artisanal shortcut. Start with basic tufted cushions, and give them a bohemian upgrade with fluffy accents that mimic the look of quilt knots (the hand-tied bows that make our baby blanket so precious).

Enjoy calm, restful sleep every night with this aromatherapy pillow. It's lavender scent helps to deepen relaxation and alleviate stress.
