Leather is a great material to add to any furniture or home decor. And many people have plenty of leather belts that go unused for years. So why not reuse these materials while adding glamor to any dresser? Follow these guidelines from The Merrythought and repurpose a simple leather belt into leather drawer pulls.
Here’s the required supplies:
Begin by removing any of the preexisting hardware from the dresser. Next, pull out all of the drawers from the dresser to begin the process.
Then measure out the leather belt’s material to match where the previous hardware was without nailing it into the same holes. After checking the measurements, nail down one side of the leather pull. Take the other end of the pull and push it out to create a handle. Then nail down that side.
Repeat these steps until the handles of all the drawers are attached.
And that’s it! Enjoy this eco-friendly look in any room of the home.

Whether it’s a rental or forever home, sometimes long-term wall decor isn’t always the best solution. Well thanks to the great minds over at The Design Confidential, anyone can create their own removable wallpaper in just a few easy steps.
Start by gathering the necessary materials:
When all items are accounted for, begin by measuring out the wall to be covered and cut the paper to size. If it is a large area, try to match up patterns that will look aesthetically pleasing when they overlap. Then cut off any excess paper.
Following the creation of the pattern, adhere the double sided tape to all 4 edges of each paper. Before removing the tape backing and applying the sheets of paper to the wall, do a test fit to make sure the pattern lines up correctly.
Once the test fit is completed, peel back the tape backing and begin adding the paper to the wall. The great thing about this tape is that it is not only sturdy, but also easily removable.
When completed, the wall or walls of the home will be completely rejuvenated without any of the permanence or difficulty of applying regular wallpaper.
