AROUND THE HOME

A discovery of some old wooden trail markers led to re-purposing them into these cute and campy useful household trays. They're sure to be a hit any time you bring them out. To make your own, search for any thick old wooden signs or boards that fit your style. Then...

We created these pretty fabric food covers as a way to keep picnic foods covered, in a non-plastic-wrap way. We remembered the shower cap-looking food covers that were common in the 1970s and decided that we could update them to fit our style. A bonus is that if they...
