I featured what I would consider to be an almost 100% foolproof DIY art inspired by Kate Spade's dinnerware here:

@tannaz we actually made the little clothing bar ourselves from plumping pipe. you can see it here http://www.mintlovesocialclub.com/2011/10/corner-closet.html

@3twentysix the Robot painting is from artist in the SF Bay Area called Pete Doolittle. not sure if he still sells his work up there or not...

@eviljones the side tables were a hand me down from my grandmother. They are legitimately from the 1960s

I make a similar honey and fig recipe with goat cheese as an appetizer. I would love to try my set up but with the marscapone as a dessert:

I have a great recipe for a cocktail using cucumber, dill and tequila.

Called the Dill Paloma- it is super refreshing:

The bistro lights from Target are my absolute favorite deck accessory:

I love to do caprese salad bites on skewers for entertaining but I find it is more manageable if it is one-bite item. Check my version out here:

We re-purposed a small two drawer index card filing cabinet to hold our spice jars:

A custom kitchen island with LOTS of storage underneath.

I made a real terrarium for right by my window and one using faux succulents for the back of my loft where there isnt much sun. Check them out here:

Also, Rolling Greens in Culver City has a workshop area where you can make your own for a fairly reasonable price.
