I used to tackle a lot of larger woodworking projects, but life has gotten so busy lately that smaller DIY projects seem to happen much more often. This DIY scalloped wooden cookbook stand was the perfect project to scratch that woodworking itch without taking over my entire weekend.</span></div><div><div><span style="color: #666666; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br></span></div><div><span style="color: #666666; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">As you&#39;ve probably noticed, the scalloped decor trend is everywhere right now and I&#39;m completely here for it. From furniture and home decor to kitchen accessories, those charming curved details seem to be popping up everywhere. A few months ago, while browsing Magnolia for inspiration, I came across the cutest scalloped cookbook stand. I instantly fell in love with its cottage-style charm and knew I wanted to create my own DIY version.</span></div><div><span style="color: #666666; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br></span></div><div><span style="color: #666666; font-family: helvetica;">This post may contains affiliate links.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGfJPJMelL75PR0J7XUKx2sCzMuZYo8G2cHZ8WRi_8eR6yPfg91Ark-vgM_MKp1Ysv_0hCNuzGGQv04WavZg1KYTjRwZe-PGcsUSLW2zlXZE46slmawKS75Nz91FIAxS-5HQyRUIXwhm74I-RXcnk4ehl_Rh2vcNbR3Q8QyQcApW1f_RYjfAwM1_YnTQpA/s1778/diy-magnolia-inspired-cookbook-stand-25.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><img alt="DIY scalloped wooden book stand inspired by Magnolia displayed on styled cottage bookshelves with vintage books and neutral decor." border="0" data-original-height="1778" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGfJPJMelL75PR0J7XUKx2sCzMuZYo8G2cHZ8WRi_8eR6yPfg91Ark-vgM_MKp1Ysv_0hCNuzGGQv04WavZg1KYTjRwZe-PGcsUSLW2zlXZE46slmawKS75Nz91FIAxS-5HQyRUIXwhm74I-RXcnk4ehl_Rh2vcNbR3Q8QyQcApW1f_RYjfAwM1_YnTQpA/s16000/diy-magnolia-inspired-cookbook-stand-25.jpg" title="How to Make a Scalloped Cookbook Stand Magnolia Inspired"></span></a></div><div><span style="color: #666666; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">So that&#39;s exactly what I did!

That wild hair almost extended to putting wallpaper on all my appliances (yes, I was eyeing the fridge too 😅), but my husband put a hard stop on that one. Fair. But the dishwasher? Totally fair game and now it’s one of my favorite little DIY upgrades in the kitchen.</span></div><div><span style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br></span></div><div><span style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">A few years ago, I added a <a href="http://www.thriftyandchic.com/2024/09/diy-dishwasher-cover-use-this-hack-to.html" target="_blank">cute apron to it,</a> which I loved, but I was ready for something new with a bit more pattern and that soft, cozy cottage feel. And then I found this wallpaper. You know when you find something and immediately start looking around your house like “where can I use this?” That was me. And it turns out, a dishwasher makeover with wallpaper was the perfect little project. </span></div><div><span style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br></span></div><div><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica;">This post contains affiliate links</span></div><div><span style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_BN7hdGLUuN8D6U-hkffmPqm9ldv17x6H0LIlupw5hWoWp-x53AWT8iRsz_Q9u6fsb5I3ix8pBCuvoUuj59ny_5hkfSHRZD8PChDoZ8pCYBpf3f7-YfnRVxlPRRig5Q3Iq46a4doq9GGkD-rD8KcvOQNcxcIhN4PdkLCSx5bXFEuB_0eJ_gm6fIEtccD6/s1778/diy-wallpapered-dishwasher-tutorial-16.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><img alt="Dishwasher covered in neutral cottage-style wallpaper in a bright kitchen" border="0" data-original-height="1778" data-original-width="1000" data-pin-description="I gave my plain dishwasher a total cottage-style makeover using wallpaper—and it completely changed the feel of my kitchen!

I love the big chunky statement rings, and I love the tiny delicate ones too. Rings are actually my favorite thing to pick up as souvenirs when I travel, which means I’ve gathered quite the collection over the years. For the longest time they’ve lived in little stacks, bowls, and containers, and while I recently tried a few store-bought organizers <a href="https://amzn.to/4kJUnUJ" target="_blank">(linked here)</a> that worked functionally, they just weren’t very pretty.</span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://amzn.to/4kJUnUJ" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="591" data-original-width="971" height="195" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgn6H1jzHpLI5H1bJZmuO7117FGSf4eSvVpzJOWJxxLdHoeFKjOJhg9e7HyJia162y6LzKIEOT7CUWjX5_61GViuWAkiPdURBIMJ3TV2s-L4zGfahkfoBSIbRmbOjxvDo-IYYUGm0EIzE_UQgvlg25vDE2qGSLU_Fjnjp-9gbAn1ULA1wBtsMmooAr44WKz/s320/jewelry-ring-organizer.jpg" width="320"></a></div><br></div><div><span style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">So today I’m sharing an easy DIY Dollar Tree ring holder and jewelry organizer tutorial that turns simple ring storage into a beautiful display.

The first year was such a hit that it quickly became something we had to do again—and now it’s a tradition my kids genuinely look forward to every Valentine’s Day. After making these year after year, I’ve definitely learned a few tricks and simplified the process a lot. I still laugh thinking about that very first time in my friend’s kitchen when we stayed up until 2 a.m. trying to figure it all out. But now? I can make one of these (well, technically two at a time…three if you have enough molds) in under an hour! I’m so excited to share this fun and memorable tradition with you.

Rugs are truly the shoes of your room—they can make or break the entire space. You can have beautiful furniture, layered decor, and all the cozy details, but if the rug is wrong, the room just won’t feel finished. And if I’m being totally honest, I’m actually in the process of hunting for a new rug for my own room right now… not because I need one, but because the space just needs new shoes. Sometimes that one simple swap is all it takes to freshen up a room. The good news? You don’t have to spend a fortune to find a large area rug that looks high-end. Below, I’m sharing large rugs that won’t break the budget, including 8x10 and oversized rugs under $200 that are stylish, practical, and perfect for real life—whether you love farmhouse rugs, vintage-inspired styles, cottage-style looks, or timeless neutral area rugs.<br><div><br>Just a quick note—since I haven’t seen all of these rugs in person, I can’t personally speak to the quality of each one.

One of my favorite spaces in my house to decorate is my dining room because it’s truly where life happens. We spend so much time in here, gathering for meals, homework, conversations, and everything in between, so it has to feel welcoming and comfortable. I still remember my dining room growing up—it was a basic oak table with oak chairs and nothing else. Literally nothing else. It was definitely functional, but cozy? Not so much. It’s a far cry from where my dining room is now, and today I’m sharing some of my favorite tips for styling a cozy winter dining room that makes people want to sit, stay, and linger just a little longer.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgezYuGiA5NQmZ35c36S4d24HwqBlIKAJ_YglwDeaQ2ygbNDqiTr_JB7pZ-wtwfWfAexybEVUyVbjrS83wqLl0BePmYAV7Gk82X2F8E5IMNe6mazLMCm8bEi39viqhzKDsOX8Urw0WooMGOjFGxmPl7K7EM2fqEVZvwtMDKDBsMexcsmOtWPOPF8nD50ZH-/s1778/Cozy-winter-dining-room-decor-ideas-8.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><img alt="Cozy winter dining room decor with block print tablecloth and layered centerpiece" border="0" data-original-height="1778" data-original-width="1000" data-pin-description="Cozy winter dining room decor ideas using layered textures, warm candlelight, greenery, block print tablecloths, and inviting place settings.

And if you don’t have one nearby, their online shop is just as dangerous—in the best way. That’s where I spotted several white ceramic vases with layered patterns and subtle texture that instantly elevated a simple shape.<span></span></span></div></div><a href="http://www.thriftyandchic.com/2026/01/anthropologie-inspired-diy-vase-decor.html#more">READ THE REST OF THIS POST &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;</a>http://www.thriftyandchic.com/2026/01/anthropologie-inspired-diy-vase-decor.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Alicia@Thrifty And Chic)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-307970033172736854.post-7233181909383948726Fri, 16 Jan 2026 07:21:00 +00002026-01-30T21:20:10.849-07:005 minute craft5 minute craftscraftcraftsDIYSewing<a data-pin-do="buttonBookmark" data-pin-tall="true" href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/button/"></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_W7w_0IikXLS1NqAXZiiA7rVX_SUlQckeelYGn1VuNPaCCOyZ6oA9FvidYjC8vDvN_I72yZIH7TF21aSvXrvs_WQ9Y3uduGOddJlSXnkbH8uNThmmCGuITkebElXDcwDxsnDHzbbxYCEZx2x-JQgHzebc6RrRLvDd7QDZbXyxk-9JIA_yhthTsNgPQ-IQ/s1778/diy-placemat-pillow-hack-11.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><img alt="DIY placemat turned into a lumbar pillow using a simple 5-minute sewing method for budget-friendly home decor" border="0" data-original-height="1778" data-original-width="1000" data-pin-description="Turn a placemat into a pillow in just 5 minutes with this easy DIY!

I go into Hobby Lobby a lot...between crafting, running this blog, and homeschooling, it’s basically a second home at this point. And every single time I walked past this one section, these placemats stopped me in my tracks. I finally grabbed a couple, knowing full well I wasn’t going to use them as placemats. All I could see was pillows. They were the perfect size for a lumbar pillow, and since they’re double-sided, they can be styled so many different ways throughout the year. Best part? This is a 5-minute DIY. Let me show you exactly how to make it.</span></div><span></span></div><a href="http://www.thriftyandchic.com/2026/01/how-to-turn-placemat-into-pillow-easy-5.html#more">READ THE REST OF THIS POST &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;</a>http://www.thriftyandchic.com/2026/01/how-to-turn-placemat-into-pillow-easy-5.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Alicia@Thrifty And Chic)0
