When I’m brainstorming a new DIY idea, I tend to ask myself what I would snap up if I saw it at a store? That usually leads me to home decor pieces. I am a sucker for all sorts of pretty home decor, whether it is a patterned throw pillow, colorful dishes, or in this […]

You might remember last week when I shared my DIY colorful geometric headboard in my guest room. Well, I had so much fun styling that colorful space and bringing in one of the new Oh Joy for Target pillows to tie everything together, that I thought, “why not try styling the space two ways around […]

I have been having so much fun playing around with concrete and plaster lately, but I have been wanting to experiment a bit by adding a bit of color to the mix. I know that I could always paint the finished product, but I wanted to try to retain the matte concrete look by adding […]

This colorful geometric headboard was created in partnership with FloraCraft® Make It: Fun®. All ideas, opinions, and styling is my own. Thank you for supporting the brands that make A Kailo Chic Life possible.   I love geometric shapes. Everything from hexagons to triangles have become popular in the last few years and I love […]

I hate to admit it, but I love sprinkles. I feel as an adult I should have outgrown my love for the tasteless little bits, but the color keeps me coming back for more. I love the color pop sprinkles give cupcakes, ice cream, or even a bowl of oatmeal. Seriously put a few sprinkles […]

Who knew marble tile was so versa”tile”? Ha! I have made both colorful mini spring succulent planters and marble and copper taper candle holders using the 2″ hexagon tiles and today I want to share a super easy way to turn them into monogrammed place card napkin rings.  Don’t you just love them?! Marble and […]

Okay. I have a confession to make. I love neon colors! It likely started when I was around 8 years old in the early 90’s. Neon was in and I was all about that bright color. Heck, I used to wear a neon orange and neon pink sock (layered so both colors showed) on one […]

I love playing around with melt and pour soap. It is seriously as easy as melting cubes of glycerine soap base in a microwave and pouring in a mold of your choice. Sure you can get complicated with colors, layers, and add-ins, but sometimes its fun to do something simple. These succulent soap bars are […]

I have been busy preparing a wedding table setting and cake table for my sister-in-law’s photography business. Of course you know I am DIYing as much as I can and these copper and marble candle holders were one of my projects. They are so simple to make (just a little bit of gluing), but they […]

I think it is safe to say that I have a mild obsession with Target. After what was supposed to be a quick trip there (isn’t that always the case?!), I came out of the store with all the makings of the best geometric floral summer party. With a few DIY’s and a little styling, […]

With two kids, a business to run, and a blog to craft for, I don’t get much time to go out and explore the city as much as I would like. But sometimes the stars align and I find myself with a camera and in an awesomely designed space and I am able to snap […]

Did you see me hint a few days ago about a summer party that I styled? Well, that colorful, geometric summer party will be coming to the blog next week! Woohoo! I can’t wait to share the details with you. But in the meantime I am going to share one of the DIY’s from the […]
