    happy weekend

    this week flew by for me even though i didn’t want it to, whenever there’s a ton to do it seems to go by way too fast. we’ve started working on our backyard, trying to get it in shape for actually using it this summer. we planted a tree and are killing the weeds and had a deck guy come over for a consult. looks like a deck isn’t happening yet, but we’re coming up with alternatives! blah blah blah have a good weekend!

    ⋅ love these DIY vases
    ⋅ millennials are food obsessed
    ⋅ such a cute and happy house tour
    ⋅ how cute is my girlfriend and her boyfriend and their apartment?
    ⋅ i’m so in love with this lamp
    ⋅ maybe my favorite side dish

    range hoods for high ceilings

    range hood ideas for high ceilings | almost makes perfect

    so we’re in the very beginning stages of planning our kitchen reno, oh man it’s way more work than i thought to even begin planning. we’re basically just figuring out what we want, from what type of countertops to the amount of drawers we need. the biggest hurdle so far is when i realized i have no clue how to hand the 10 foot ceiling above our oven. Read More

    DIY metallic leather coasters

    DIY metallic leather coasters | almost makes perfectDIY metallic leather coasters | almost makes perfect

    i really did an easy one this time guys. i know i always say that. but if it’s still cute, it doesn’t count as phoning it in ok? i found these leather circles at the craft store and desperately wanted leather coasters, so i just came up with a pretty method for painting them and calling it a day.

    8 sandals for spring

    8 sandals for spring | almost makes perfect

    i honestly couldn’t live anywhere cold because i basically live in sandals. i own more sandals than anything else and those that know me know that i’m almost always wearing them… so i’m basically an expert. and i never lose the urge to get more sandals because i wear them down so hard. it’s a real catch 22. anyway, here are some of my currents faves (and btw #6 is the most comfortable sandal ever)

    the assembly | almost makes perfect

    happy friday guys. this week was pretty productive when it comes to house things, we cut some concrete in the backyard to plant a tree we bought, and to plant some bougainvillea over the studio (the exterior is really ugly right now so we’re working on prettying it up). this weekend we’ve got more house errands and we’re gonna see 10 cloverfield lane (are you seeing it? it’s supposed to be awesome). have a good one!

    ⋅ if you want your heart to melt right now…
    ⋅ this sounds like a movie premise 
    ⋅ really beautiful easter eggs
    ⋅ tweets about trader joes parking lots 
    ⋅ just bought these and i’m in love
    ⋅ love this desert house tour
    ⋅ before and after special effects (these are mesmerizing)

    i really never thought i’d be using pom poms in a project, ever — but here i am, and i love it. i’m super excited about this pillow because it’s one of the easiest projects i’ve done in a while, and requires literally no crafting skills besides a little patience and something to watch on TV.

    printable minimal thank you card

    printable thank you card | almost makes perfect

    i find myself buying thank you card sets every time they’re inexpensive and cute — so i wanted to design a cute little modern thank you card to print at your leisure!

    we all need to get in the habit of sending thank you cards more, so cute thank you cards will hopefully inspire all of us to do that.

    dream house : the deck

    dream house || the deck | almost makes perfect

    it’s been a reeeal long while since my last dream house post, and now that we’re starting to plan some updates, i’m back to pulling a ton of reference and daydreaming.

    i’m going to show you our backyard soon, but basically it’s a mess. it’s a clean slate because there’s nothing going on, but we have a shallow cement patio, some random poured concrete and way more weeds than you can even imagine. so we’re now in the beginning stages of planning the backyard and we’re hoping to build out a deck.it’s been sad not being able to use our backyard yet, but i’m hoping come summer — it’s our own little oasis. but the center of our plan is the deck — because i love a good deck. and i love all these decks.

i’ve had some of these paper stars longer than i’v i’ve had some of these paper stars longer than i’ve had kids, but i was always so annoyed by the idea of manually switching on the lights inside — 

finally got these rechargeable puck lights that i can control with a remote and now i can just turn on the holiday cozy magic every night (and even set them on a timer to turn off!!)

our christmas tree (1 of 2)! we had to give ‘er a our christmas tree (1 of 2)! we had to give ‘er a little trim off the top to fit under our tiny ceilings but this is exactly what i pictured when we first saw this house and now it’s real 🥹
(well i can’t, but my stupidly talented husband ca (well i can’t, but my stupidly talented husband can!) the cutest diy lobster roll ornament made from clay! i could not love it more. 

he used regular oven bake clay, and translucent clay for the chips, pickles and lemon. then he painted with acrylic and made the little tray out of just an actual takeout box and parchment paper 🦞 now someday he’ll have to make a CT style roll lol

if you want the links for the supplies he used, just comment MAKE and i’ll send em straight over.

just the cutest little window display we all enjoy just the cutest little window display we all enjoyed so much that i thought it should be here permanently!
it started in california — sunshine, palm trees, a it started in california — sunshine, palm trees, and way too little storage for christmas decor. then came connecticut — seasons, nature and ALL THE ornaments because now i have space for two trees… and ZERO RESTRAINT BABAAYYY!!!!

i decided to tell pretty much that exact story above, in ornament form, with custom photo ornaments from @shutterfly, i’ve actually been ordering these since before we even had arlo and you know i’m a sentimental slob, they really enhance that weepy, sappy nostalgia energy i live for all holiday season!!!!

they are so easy to customize and create and there are clearly SO MANY cute designs, i couldn’t possibly stick to a theme lol. now it feels like a scrapbook, but in tree form!!

use code MM40 for 40% off and free shipping when you spend $40+ on ALL SFLY products (11/28/25–12/31/25) from @shutterfly!!

ps i read this and thought all you fellow saps might want to know that “research shows nostalgia can benefit our mental health by affirming social belonging, alleviating loneliness, and enhancing our sense of meaning” SO THERE!
embossed tin ornaments! made from recycled takeout embossed tin ornaments! made from recycled takeout containers!!

cut the sides to flatten, and then smooth out the texture with a plastic tool or rag (i used a butter spreader and it was perfect)

use a soft surface so you don’t scratch up your table (a sketchbook was perfect) draw your design right onto the tin (you can erase by re-smoothing but the more you do it, the more it’ll get dented up) you can sketch it out with pencil first, or trace right on top. i used an embossing tool but you can also just use a ballpoint pen!

once you’re happy, cut out with scissors, punch a hole and add ribbon! would look so cute with some beads to embellish but i couldn’t find any!

use as ornaments, or decoration around the house, or super special gift tags!! or a whole garland of these on your mantle would look sooo cute!

ps you could also use grocery store lasagna pans or whatever they’re called

should i have made templates for designs? would you guys prefer that?!

if you want the links for my supplies, comment MAKE and i’ll send em straight to ya

snowflake clay ornaments! these are SO simple to snowflake clay ornaments! 
these are SO simple to make and so so cute!

make balls out of your oven bake (or air dry) clay and roll out. poke large holes all around the diameter of your circle and then bake.

use a thick needle and embroidery floss to go across each direction overlapping. 

add a string to hang (i added a little wood bead for some flair)

if you want the supplies sent straight to your dms— comment MAKE ❤️
