Streamers as decor for parties have always been versatile for any age. They’re affordable, colorful and add quick pizzazz to any room or venue. And, now decorating with streamers when you’re entertaining doesn’t have to be in the same old twisted across the ceiling way that we’re used to.
As Martha Stewart shows us in the first image, you can line streamers across a table to make a fun table cloth and then wrap the leftovers around jars to create matching candle holders as table decor.
Or, you can still hang streamers across the ceilings and tables yet you can add flavor to them by manipulating them. You can cut the edges of streamers to have fringe, or throw them through the sewing machine to create cute ruffles. Or, you can also make your own streamers by cutting paper to create zig-zag streamers.There are so many ways to spice up streamers for your next party, no matter how old the guest(s) of honor are.
How do you decorate with streamers?

Are you ready for soup season?
After reading this post, hopefully you will be! As everyone seems to be preparing for the chilly weather and the comfort food that comes with it, these soups were easy to find. A few, such as the Chicken Tortilla Soup and Buffalo Wing Soup are both made in the crock-pot, so you can be greeted with a full pot of soup after a long day. Others, such as the Garlic and Greek Soups don’t require much prep time – so they’re quick, easy soups to serve for a weeknight dinner.
Aside from the French Onion Soup, these soups are a bit different than your more-common Chicken Noodle, Split Pea or Broccoli Cheddar Soup. Which one do you think you’ll make?
Click through for the recipes: Chicken Tortilla Soup / Buffalo Wing Soup / Greek Soup (Avgolemono Soup) / Chicken & Avocado Soup / Garlic Soup / White Velvet Soup / French Onion Soup / Lasagna Soup

Stepping into Shoreditch’s Lifestyle Bazaar is always a treat, but for the London Design Festival , they’ve commissioned something extra special. Kelly McCallum has taken the ibride Junior Bookcase and turned it into a modern day curiosity cabinet. At first playful and innocent, when you peer closer, the darker side of Kelly’s work reveals itself. It’s this constant juxtaposition between sweet and sinister that makes this piece so compelling.

Grey (or gray, if you prefer) is so popular right now – from home decor to fashion. It’s versatile and neutral, yet different and more fun than black. Greys pair perfectly with brights – like yellows, turquoises and pinks – and work just as well on their own.Plus, there are so many varieties – from light gray to dark charcoal, and all that’s in between – there’s a lot you can do with grey!
Have you gotten caught up in gorgeous greys?
Here’s a few ways that you can: Boots / Computer Chair / Watch/ Bowl / Throw / Sofa

For a long time I wasn’t interested in the Do It Yourself attitude, I never thought something could be done using old furniture or knick-knacks. I was only interested in the things of design
