Awesome Find: Dartstrip to display art!

Whenever I come across an awesome product, article, video, etc. I usually share it on my personal FB page but I've realized that I should be sharing them here, in the blog, because this is where I am able to reach YOU!...and the rest of this amazing community.

Today's feature is Dartstrip, a snappable steel strip that is 8 ft in length and 1 inch wide. It comes with a removable adhesive for you to place on any wall. It is bundled with powerful magnets for hanging art, photos & more.

But it's not as simple as it sounds. When I said powerful, I meant POWERFUL because each tiny magnet can hold up to 10 sheets of letter sized copy paper. Ummm-hum!




You can probably find many uses for the Dartstrip but I am ordering my own to hang this beautiful 2014 PaperFashion calendar which I've been wondering how to display at home, in my work area.

So what do you think? Are you curious to try Dartstrip?

Cleaning products that make me happy!

I love to organize things and keep stuff in place (Neat freak? Maybe!) but one thing that I don't enjoy is cleaning. Seriously. I don't like sweeping the floor, and cleaning the bathroom but in the end I have to do it because I don't like being dirty either. My sister suggested two products that have improved my desire to clean because they make my life much easier.

The Swiffer Sweeper Dry Sweeping Cloth Refills is the best thing ever to pick up dust and all my fallen hair. I use one sweeping sheet two times every week and follow up with the broom for small leftover dirt.

The other product that recently made me happy is Mr Clean Magic Eraser Bath Scrubber. I had tried a few things on my bathtub and even my Mom (cleanest women ever) had given up on the stained tub, but this product really worked for me. It's a real magic eraser.

Do you use these products? Are you attached to cleaning products that make your busy life easier?
Share your thought below. Cheers!

Cushion Covers from the H&M Home Collection

+H&M released their Home collection a while back but I just decided to browse their home products online. Every home deserves a little upgrade after the new year so here are some of my favorite cushion covers from the H&M collection. These are small and inexpensive details that will make your home feel refreshed after the holidays. Click here to view all and for price details on their website.

White Home Decor

Throw $29.99 - Nightstand $69.99 - Mirror $229 - Toaster $320 - Dinnerware Set $96 - Ceramic Vases $10-$89 - Ceramic Side Table $129 - Floor Lamp $199 - Tri-Votive Candle Holder $8

Could I have chosen a better color for December? White could be a summery color but it also reminds me of snow, the perfect recently fallen snow that is.

White walls are always right in every home but white decor gives a little touch of elegance, peace, and comfort. I picked a few white items to adorn your home and could not have left out the cozy knitted throw. Perfect to wrap yourself up on the couch in the cold weather with a cup of hot cocoa and your favorite TV program. Cheers!

Christmas Wreaths

With vacation and other things going on I hadn't had a chance to get a Christmas wreath. Here are some beautiful ones I found online. I've also been eyeing a natural pine wreath from +Trader Joe's and was planning on decorating it myself but I'm still undecided. Which would you pick adorn your door?

Red & Brown Christmas Tree

During a quick visit to +IKEA last Sunday, I purchased most of my Christmas tree decorations. I wanted something pretty but didn't want to spend too much cash. My Christmas tree is probably 5 years old (if not more.) It came with the multi color lights installed so it's really simple to assemble every year. Just need to open up the branches and it's basically ready. I love the Christmas lights so could have easily left it as is (just the lights) but it needed some decor for when it's turned off.



Here's what I bought at +IKEA: a pack of 50 mixed (glossy, matte, and glitter) red balls for only $10 and to add some highlights 4 of their check pattern balls priced at 2 balls for $10. A bit pricey but worth the splurge given that I got such a great deal on the 50 variety pack.







Also, I added pine tree cones from previous years and used a cinnamon broom (makes the apartment smell delicious) as the tree topper. The cinnamon broom is from +Trader Joe's.

Are you planning on setting up a Christmas tree this year? Tell me all about it in the comments.

Love & Cheers! Cristalia

Sweet As Pie

Photos from Sur La Table

I'd be happy to have a piece of pie any time of the year but because they are most popular during the holiday season, I decided to search for some pie plates that will make me (and you) want to bake my own.

I am crazy about pumpkin and pecan pie but have never tried baking the later; however, I might try it this holiday season. What's your favorite pie? Share it in a comment.

Tangerine Fabrics: Madeline Weinrib at ABC Carpet & Home

Tangerine is color of the month so instead of going with the regular home decor post I thought I should share my new online discovery at ABC Carpet & Home, Madeline Weinrib's fabric collection.

My favorite is the Stella pattern (Number 5) but here are the links to my top 5 on the site that also come in more colors.  1 :: 2 :: 3 :: 4 :: 5

IKEA Catalog 2014

The 2014 IKEA Catalog is here and of course, I have to share my favorites with you! Scroll on to view the pages I liked the most and what I love in them.

Colorful Chairs!

It's great to see Pantone's 2013 color of the year in that classy sofa.
At $9.99 I am ready to go purchase that faux sheepskin rug, nice and fluffy. 

Classy & romantic vs. bright and bold. I'm torn!

B, I, G - Metallic letter decor on the left wall.
Anyone's dream, a white clean home - nice and bright.

Change that light blue wall to white or a super soft pink and it's perfect for a girl.

My dream kitchen has an island and this one is just perfect. 

I sometimes wonder where to hide all the plants in my living room...thanks for the idea IKEA!

Hope you love these as much as I do! Now tell me what's been added to your IKEA wish list in a comment below. 

Love & Cheers! Cristalia

Fuchsia fabric rug!

Meet my new decor items brought straight from the Dominican Republic. My mom is always onto something new. She recently learned how to make these super awesome fabric rugs and made me one using fuchsia fabric. I haven't created a tutorial in months so that might be my next tutorial post. I'll learn from her and teach you how to make it.

Have a lovely weekend!
