About a month ago, I saw this lovely DIY on Almost Makes Perfect. I realize my version looks incredibly similar, but if Molly had made hers in a green marble, I probably wouldn't have even looked twice! There's just something about Carrera and gold (or bronze) that I adore. I loved all the veining in my piece, there are hints of gold and grey, it's beautiful! It was super easy and pretty cheap to make (about $4 for the marble, $15 for the handles, and I already had the gold acrylic and paint brushes. It would have been easier to spray, but I super love the brush stroke texture on the handles). I plan on this tray being on my desk, either corralling succulents or desk and art supplies.
I spent last night shopping with one of my very good friends. Our friendship started a few years ago in English when I noticed she was wearing tennis shoes and a raincoat from Madewell, and then we started talking about Nylon magazine. So last night we went to Madewell just before it closed (and also a cupcake store, H&M, and Anthropologie). We decided to buy each other the same pack of Rifle Paper Co. notebooks and then gift them to each other. How cute are they? They're going to be such a special and colorful addition to my dorm. (Also, how lovely would this yellow clock be in my room?)
