Ali Kay & Her Creative Endeavors...

Finding unique, creative and, most importantly, CHEAP ways to cook meals, fix stuff, dress myself and decorate the world around me is what I live for. I believe that almost everything can be re-purposed, re-touched, or re-done with a little bit of t.l.c. and a personal touch! I'm not saying that all of these ideas are uniquely mine, but I do enjoy them, regardless, and love sharing them with you!

Recommended Reading: Bazaar Style

If you are looking for something to spark up your creativity, there are lots of books out there! One of my favorites that I've found is Bazaar Style  by Selina Lake, a pattern designer and quirky interior stylist.  The pictures are colorful, the room designs are amazing and the examples provided for making found pieces your own are priceless!

I'm a firm believer that the best way to customize your space is by mixing up one of a kind pieces that really speak to you and fit your personality.  Whenever I am feeling a bit dull or need some room pick-me-ups, this is the first book I grab.  Not to mention, it makes a really great coffee table book and sometimes I even leave it open to a favorite page on my couch just because I love the photos!  One of the great things about this book is that the rooms are from real homes, not studios decorated by the authors or other designers, so you can see the personal touches and find inspiration for your own!

If you are interested, I suggest buying it HERE or hunting it down at your favorite used book store!

Happy reading!

Love,
Ali Kay
