I'm a little behind my schedule as I'm preparing for my upcoming vacation. So many things need to get finished before we leave for LA on Friday, where one of my friends will be getting married and from there we will be heading to Bryce Canyon and Lake Powell for some hiking and hopefully some relaxing as well...
After Erin posted a rope doorstop from Zara home about a month ago. I became obsessed with it and started browsing the internet for more things made out of rope. Now I need a cottage by the sea to squirrel away some nautical inspired gems...
Of course my favorite one, the rope knot bag is too expensive for me so I had to search for some cool rope DIY options and share my favorites with you. When you click on the links below you will be directed to the tutorials. I also found a tutorial for a rope doorstop/bookend (#4 above) by Mindy at Heart Main Home. I think I might give the rope vases a try soon, they seem to be a fairly easy project. Not so sure if anything that involves knots will be a project for me because I already have problems to tie my shoelaces properly, they are always to loose and open itself constantly. As if I need another tripping hazard...
I do so like that rope basket. I think I might be able to try my hand at this - I did basket weaving with my sister before!
ReplyDeleteHa! I love that rope door stop so much, but I never though to track down other rope items! I agree, you could totally DIY something to your liking, after all you are the queen of DIY. That rope towel rack looks awesome. I love how rope makes everything look instantly nautical and cottage-y. I'd go for the door stop or vases or something, but knowing my dog he'd think it was just another chew toy!
ReplyDeleterooth, If you figure out how to make the basket please share :)
ReplyDeleteErin, maybe you should make a chew toy for Fitz to enjoy and something nice for you to enjoy. But if he's anything like my cat was then he'd like the piece you made for yourself better and chew it up or shred it to pieces ;)
That rope lighting at the top is BEAUTIFUL!
ReplyDeleteSo funny, my eye was just drawn to that rope door stop at Ballard Design too! We are surrounded by water here where I live so rope makes a lot of sense in decor, but you don't want to go overboard, you know? Something like the door stop or the knocker would be perfect.
ReplyDeleteknot bag and rope basket great finds :)
ReplyDeleteWow, never gave knots much consideration until I saw this roundup. I just know there is some clever way I can incorporate this look into our home.
ReplyDeleteso I was just about to type that I like the rope bag best, but 300 bucks is crazy for this tiny bag. The rope basket is pretty cool, too - especially with the pink pop color.
