I’ve had a black and white inlay coffee table on my inspo board for aaages…. The one I have has rounded waterfall edges and a bold black and white stripe accented but a white inlay border. It’s such a fun twist on a coffee table bringing a bit of graphic detail to a space (coffee table) that doesn’t necessarily add much style to the room. $1200+ is not in my budget so I decided to try my hand at DIY! Wish me luck!

As part of our laundry room makeover, you all suggested a drying rack for the space! Truth be told, I use a laundry drying rack about once a year at best, but… I might use one more often for hand washing now that I have one! There are plenty of these available on Amazon or Etsy, but fundamentally it felt pretty simple so I wanted to try and make my own.

Lush mossy terrariums are my favorite and this time of year I crave the low maintenance greenery more than ever! Rather than fill yet another glass container with moss and plants, I figured I’d make something a bit more permanent: a terrarium table!
