Welcome to “Second Tuesday Art Walk,” my new feature that comes out on the second Tuesday of every month. After all, who can’t use a little beauty on a Tuesday?
And it will always be the second Tuesday because – well, actually I don’t remember the reason now. But here we are.
In no rational order, we’ll be looking at interior design inspiration, fun little discoveries, and things I’m obsessed with. You can click through the links to learn more about anything you see here.
So grab a cup of coffee, or a glass of wine, and let’s begin.
Gorgeous, Breezy Enclosed Porch
August always has me planning ways to extend summer fun. That would be a lot easier if I had Ashley’s gorgeous outdoor room.
I especially love those crisp, airy curtains. Perfect!
Charming Repurposed Clothing Projects
Who needs the fabric store if you have old clothes on hand?
SuzerSpace’s sweet DIY purse has me sifting through my husband’s closet to see which shirt he “doesn’t need” anymore.
Mary over at In The Boondocks also has a talent for repurposing old clothes. Actually, she’s amazing at repurposing anything.
Here is what she did with an old denim dress and a beach find.
And I love what she made from an old milk crate and an old blouse.
Beautiful Built-in Sleeping Nook
Sloped ceilings can add so much character to a room. But they can also be challenging to work with.
Tricia really made the most of her little A-shaped dormer space with this DIY built-in bed. I love everything about this. Be sure to check out her before photos!
Dream Trailer
Mandi calls her trailer, The Nugget, “the cutest vintage trailer on the internet.” And I can’t argue with that.
Check out The Nugget’s Reveal and you’ll fall in love too. The interior photos start about halfway through the post, and there are a lot of charming details to see here. My favorite little detail is the kitchen faucet.
Trending Color
Looks like brown is making a strong comeback. In fact, Country Living is saying that brown is the new black.
Shutterfly has come out with their 75 Enchanting Brown Living Room Ideas. And one of them features my living room!
Shutterfly’s post has some great examples of how brown can bring warmth and balance to a room. And there’s lots of inspiration for integrating brown into existing decor.
Unexpected Discovery
Recently we took a road trip along the beautiful Oregon Coast.
While antiquing in the small towns there, we found these old cobbler shoe forms for children’s shoes – complete with worm holes. 
The smallest one measures only five inches. Adorable.
Our laundry room remodel is almost compete, and these little guys will be cute in there grouped with the shoe care supplies.

I’m intrigued by vintage children’s shoe forms now. The varying sizes make them so fun for decorating.
Beauty on Sale
Yes, beauty in the form of luxury furniture and accessories!
One King’s Lane has reached out to let me know about their Labor Day sale from 8/31/17 – 9/5/17, when they are offering a site-wide discount of 20%! And on Monday only, 9/4, they are offering free shipping in addition to the sale. Just use the code “OKLSHIPSEPT”. Prices on all eligible items will be as marked, and some exclusions apply.
Enjoy the Summer!
Now I’m off to take a late-summer blogging break, but let’s meet back here on the second Tuesday in September. Thanks so much for visiting today, and enjoy your summer!

Thanks for featuring my small purse from a dress shirt this week!
I enjoyed this “walk”, although honestly now I want to sell everything I own and travel the roads in my own nugget.
Susan, thanks for participating. Your cute little purse stopped my curser in its tracks the first time i saw it.
Heidi thank you for including my projects with all these talented ladies. This is quite an interesting collection of fun ideas. Love those little wooden shoe forms.
Yes, those are so fun and unique, aren’t they Mary? Thanks for taking part in the Art Walk. I really love every project you share.
Heidi, I appreciate you including my built-in bed alongside all these wonderful projects. I’m gonna try to convince my husband that we need a lil’ Nugget. It is adorable!
Thanks for letting us have a peek at your built-in bed, Tricia. I love it.
I love your darling new found shoe forms! Also, that trailer and built in bed have me dreaming! I have a dormer room like that upstairs. Thanks for sharing with SYC.
hugs,
Jann
Thanks Jann! I love that sleeping space too. We have an unfinished part of our attic, and if we ever get around to finishing it I want to do something like that. Thanks for hosting SYC!
Hi Heidi, just hopping by to let you know that I will be featuring you at SYC tomorrow.
hugs,
Jann
I’m honored, thanks Jann! And thanks for hosting SYC.
