About Me:

Hi! My name is Lucy McClure; I am a blogger and owner of a small business called bel monili by l.marlane. I hand-craft one of a kind pieces of jewelry and home accessories using upcycled vintage materials. I adore all things pre-loved!

Favorite area of home improvement:

I live in a very small space (a one bedroom condo!) so I'm always interested in creative storage options and small space redos.

  • Cracked and smashed China, pieces of mirror and stained glass, hide an ugly air conditioning unit.

Mosaic Screen to hide Air Conditioner

When we built a new side yard patio, the location of our air conditioner was less than ideal. So I smashed old plates, cut up old mirror and pieces of stained glass, to make a two sided mosaic screen that picks up the colors of the surrounding hostas.

The cream colored grout is sealed, old fence posts were used as the ends and the whole thing is movable in case we have to get at the air conditioner. It's much nicer to look at than the grey turbine.

  • Glue the materials onto cardboard hearts and watch them come to life! See where they all were placed at the blog link. 3
  • Hearts were cut free hand out of corrugated cardboard. I was after every one being different. That worked...

Rustic valentines you won't want to take down... or give away. Oops...

Being a junker type, rustic textures work best in my home. So rather than put up something for Valentine's Day that would be non suitable and temporary, I decided to create my own take on ...»
the kind of valentines that would suit my year around decor.

So, will I take them down Feb 14th? No way! And I don't believe I'll be giving any away either. Oops. :) Happy Valentine's Day to me...

I have a post up on the blog if you want to see more.

Recycled Paper Heart Wreath

On a quest to use up some of our empty cereal boxes, I created a simple wreath that can stay up past some of the more traditional pinks and reds of Valentine's Day. Super easy, tutorial included.
