DIY Prismatic Magnets (Video)

I’m pumped today (to say the least) to share my first ever stop motion video! I’ve been wanting to try my hand at one for a few months now, because I think they’re downright fun and quirky. So as I was developing a tutorial for Homedit on how to make a set of interactive prismatic magnets, I realized the “interactive” component to the magnets make them just about the perfect project for such a video. Check out the short and sweet video below! I love how graphic and colorful the magnets turned out. They’re playful and fun for the kiddos, but also totally at home in any modern home. Head over to Homedit for the tutorial on how to make a set of Prismatic Magnets for your fridge! The song in the video is Cheerful Clapping Whistler and the video was created in Wondershare Filmora Video Editor.

Kaleidoscope Inspired Paper Art

Happy Hump Day! Today I’m sharing a DIY paper art piece I created for Homedit inspired by the colorful and geometric sensibility of kaleidoscopes. Large scale art can be quite costly, but get creative with geometric paper shapes, and you’ll have room-defining art in about an hour. I think this color palette would be super fun in a nursery! I created this tutorial while watching the movie, Copenhagen, on Netflix. Has anyone seen it? I hadn’t heard anything about it, but I thought I’d give it a shot since it would just kind of be on in the background while I was cutting paper diamonds, but I actually really liked it. It’s a little dark and complex, super intriguing though. I found myself straight up watching the movie and finishing up this project afterward. I love it when movies can transport you like that. Anywho–I digress! Go check out the deets on creating a graphic, one-of-a-kind paper art piece for your own home.

Style Focus: Geometric Tile Floors

I love the global nod that geometric patterned floor tiles speak to. Remember our visit to Claus, Paris for breakfast back in May? I swooned over their geometric patterned floor, and then couldn’t help but notice similar installations peppered all throughout Southern Europe. How fun would it be to carry a bit of your travels into your own home? Because of the strong, graphic quality, I like the idea of using patterned floor tiles in a powder bath or foyer, areas that you don’t spend long periods of time, and thus you can be a bit bolder in your material selection.
