These are cool projects! The jewelry trays and test tube chandelier remind me of a shop on Etsy called DuchessAndDomicile.etsy.com They have some boho chic marble coasters, marble trays, boho chic vases, etc. in this shop and new handmade items are added often.

Such cute ideas! Thank you for sharing such an amazing list of DIYs. I can't wait to make some of these projects for my dorm room to make it feel more like me!

I so badly wanted a Boho fabric valance even IF I didn't know what I would do with it. It turned out really great! It was impressive enough to warrant a positive comment from my dreadfully conservative concrete(as in the opposite of abstract) husband! I used black, purples, greens, antique whites and splashes of deep and soft corals. I added tassels of smaller strips of fabric, wooden beads(natural)with a few brightly colored wooden beads and jute. I used a branch I cut, cleaned, cured, lightly sanded and painted white. It currently hangs over my bedroom door. I've been preparing myself to make a full curtain, just haven't decided on the colors I'll use yet. I used just old clothes that I seam cut then cut into strips, removing the cuffs, collars, buttons and such for use later. I'm loving this DIY Boho thing! Thank you for all the great information on your website! I'm looking forward to trying some of these!
