Everyone should have a DIY Death Star Globe Does anyone else think of a Death Star every time they see a globe? We do. And it looks like we’re not alone. File this under Other-People’s-Nerd-Homes. Or maybe several-other-people’s-nerd-homes (is that the correct use of apostrophe?). Want to make your own? You’ve got options (and if you don’t need a Death Star globe, there’s always the Death Star disco ball ). The Death Star globe above is from Hydrangea Girl . She wrote an easy-to-follow tutorial on her blog, which is a new must-read website for us. Check out her other DIY’s while you’re there.

Elegant and Interesting Beach Home I found this gorgeous kitchen on Pinterest today and had to do some research to find the rest of this beach home. Wa la! Here it is, a coastal dream designed by Justine Hugh-Jones that mixes modern, antique and bespoke design. Justine Hugh-Jones My style is a contemporary mix of antique, modern and bespoke design. The homes I create are elegant but interesting, easy and comfortable and often punctuated with a twist of the unexpected and a dash of humour.
