This past winter was a winter of chunky yarn. I had so much fun making scarves and hats that I almost didn’t want the cold weather to go away. The warm weather has a silver lining though (and I am not even talking about shorts and flip-flops), it pushed me to make something pretty with chunky yarn! This Beach Waves pillow brings beachy and cool colors into my home, and I love how BIG and CHUNKY this yarn is! Red Heart Grande has pushed it’s way into my top favorite chunky yarns.

15 Fabulous Jewelry Organization Ideas

May 19, 2015 by Bethany Leave a Comment

I have recently started spending time at Hometalk, have you heard of it? It’s a fabulous place to find and share ideas for your home. Although I don’t do a ton of home decor here at Whistle and Ivy, I do have a few things that I have done (here, here and here are a few of my favorites). One post that everyone loved was my Trinket Dish (I gave it to my mom for Mother’s Day and she loved it!), so I created a board with 15 jewelry organization ideas, and I wanted to share it with you!

Click over to my Hometalk board to see all these cute projects! Hopefully your jewelry will be super organized soon.

Mine is only slightly better…

Talk soon,

Whale Book Ends {Anthropologie Knock-Off}

November 20, 2014 by Bethany 2 Comments

I will be honest, I am not really sure what I am doing in my house, decor-wise. I need some new ideas, so I often look at all the beautiful stuff at stores like Anthropologie and Pottery Barn. Their stuff is of course, adorable and awesome, but I can’t bring myself to spend that kind of money on decor. When I stumbled on this adorable whale book end set at Anthropologie, I fell in love, but knew I would never spend $70 on book ends. I decided to try and make them myself.

These whale bookends ended up being less of a knock-off and more of a “creative interpretation”. But I still like how they turned out.
