I recently came across Annaleena's blog and found myself instantly transfixed by the beautiful home she has crafted for herself — filled with tiny little handmade details with loads of personality. In a hyphenated word: Mind-boggling! I then discovered that Annaleena also shares some pretty amazing DIY projects with her readers as well. So I thought I'd point you towards a few of my favorites today. If you want to see all of her amazing projects, be sure to visit her DIY section (believe me...you'll be glad you did).

DIY No.1: Feather Adorned Lampshade. I just love the dramatic pop of black that these feathers add to Annaleena's white home, don't you?! You could try something similar with found or purchased feathers, or try an animal-free version using the DIY Fabric Feathers that I created for 100 Layer Cake. Either way would look fantastic. Also, if you like this project you might enjoy this DIY Festive Lampshade Tree that I posted about last year. It takes a similar approach, but with a different effect.

DIY No. 2: Hanging Frames. A stunning statement in black, or uniquely you when you customize the frames with your favorite paint color. Perfect! You can find the full tutorial in English over on Emmas DesignBlogg.

DIY No. 3: Lace Covered Vase. Not only is this project as easy as they get, but when you're tired of it next season you can remove the lace and start with a clean slate again! Brilliant!
