Come behind the scenes at A Charming Project and see Enid's craft room in San Francisco.
Large windows have been on my wish list for years, and I finally had the opportunity to find an apartment with floor to ceiling windows. The abundance of natural light in my space is borderline ridiculous! I can shoot photos in natural light all the way into the early evening, and I have plants and flowers that thrive better here than in any other space I’ve had before. When we first moved to the bay area from Los Angeles we live in a tiny hotel room for 5 months until we found our current apartment (living here is so expensive) so I am extremely thankful for every little inch of space, and glimmer of light I have.

Maggs recreates a casual steampunk look for today's #DIYTheLook.
I went for a casual steampunk look, i chose 2 different shirt projects, one from scratch and one adapted to go with the stripy trousers, and for more formal occasions the stunning dress. The hairdo you could wear everyday or with the dress, it's simple and classy.

Handmade Lampshades
We chat to Natalia Price-Cabrera, give you a chance to win the book and learn how-to make a flaming juno lampshade.
Hello. My name is Natalia Price-Cabrera and I am the founder of Mols & Tati-Lois, purveyor of hand-tailored lampshades and upstyled furniture (www.molsandtatilois.com). I have always been a 'maker' since an early age and studied Textiles & Fashion, followed by History of Art at university before pursuing a career in illustrated book publishing for going on 20 years now. Three years ago I discovered traditional lampshade making and have been hooked ever since. I create bold, contemporary soft-sided lampshades using a combination of vintage and modern fabrics, to create truly unique lighting statements for the home. All my lampshades are made using traditional techniques. 'Handmade Lampshades' is my second book. I am also author and curator of the hugely successful 'The Wallpaper Colouring Book', published by Octopus.

Cat from The Rustic Willow recreates the stylish home of Lauren Conrad for #DIYTheRoom
Lauren Conrad exudes feminism, so when I was designing her living room, I knew that I wanted to incorporate that. I wanted it to be light, bright and airy with a lot of white and a lot of floral accents. I think all of the projects I rounded up fit that description, and would all complement each other together perfectly in her living room!
