I have a super simple project to stir-up your creativity this weekend. Why don’t we take a few minutes to re-style a side table or console we have in our homes? The fun of it is looking around your place for fun treasures to style the table. A few nice table books that have been hanging in your library, a few ceramic pieces you collect, something that feels a little unusual, maybe a souvenir from a trip and while you are at it, grab a plant you have around your house. Here are a few inspiration pics to get you going.
I would love to see what you come up with! So if you feel like it, tag us on Instagram (@babasouk, @marionhousebook) so we can see. Have fun! –Stephanie
If you’re like me, I’m sure you have a few sweaters lying in your closet collecting dust. You know, the ones you threw into the dryer by accident but can’t seem to part with because it cost you a pretty penny. Or maybe you just love the pattern and have stored it away in the hopes that one day you’ll find an amazing project to use it for. Well, I found the perfect reincarnation for this old wool sweater of mine. I found it at a thrift store last year but have never worn it because it was way too big and very unflattering. Honestly, I just loved the pattern. †I spotted it from afar and knew it had to be mine.The tag read Ralph Lauren, 100% lambswool and it was $3.00. †The wool is extremely thick and I knew I could transform it into something fun. It was much too thick to sew into mittens so I thought, why not a laptop sleeve? 
I would have loved to have used a bright fabric for the inside lining but because the wool was already so thick, it would have been impossible to sew on my machine. Something to keep in mind if you decide to tackle this yourself and want to add more colour!
