DIY's For The Weekend

By Scorpiondisco @scorpiondisco
I'm officially hibernating this weekend, so I figured I'll finally tackle my DIY Pinterest Board. I'll need to make a few quick stops, including Home Depot (because, obvi), the SoWa indoor flea market on Sunday for an old map and wooden frame, and a craft store like Michaels for some fabric pant and sturdy thread.

Here's what's on deck:

I'm thinking of doing the drive from Philadelphia to Cancun (Yes, that really happened.....) and maybe a map from Philadelphia to Istanbul and back to Boston, where I was born and my husband was born, respectively, and where we live now.

A new way to frame with clothes pins and wire.

How shabby-chic is this empty frame for hanging photos? It could be fun to go through old photos from facebook and folders on my computer to print out and string up.

And, this beautiful chandelier that is really just an update on an Ikea lighting fixture. I could probably dig up some glass pieces at the SoWa market to hang on it.
