I’m a total sucker for things I can’t have, especially when it comes to designer furnishings, fabrics, wallpapers and accessories. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve found something I love online only to find out that it’s available just through the trade.

For those of you who, like me, want to be able to score those goodies on your own, I’ve found an amazing service from world-renowned interior designer Jamie Herzlinger. Called Jamie Shop, this new venture allows you to register as a client and have exclusive access to more than 400 of the top trade-only manufacturers. And, better yet, the shop will guide your purchases from inception to installation.

diy project: decorative haggadah covers for passover

With Passover quickly approaching, here is a clever DIY project to add some style to your seder table: decorative haggadah covers!

The seder meal is all about order, so you need something to guide you along: the haggadah. During the seder, your family and friends take turns reading from this book of blessings, songs and passages that explain the significance and traditions of the seder meal.

There are haggadahs available that are very beautiful, but they can also be quite pricey. The numbers of guests typically hosted at a seder meal numbers over a dozen, so purchasing more decorative haggadahs for each of your guests isn’t economical. Instead, it is common to use less attractive paperback versions.

An easy DIY solution can be to make colourful covers that dress up your basic paperback haggadah and complement your colour scheme. Find out how to make your own pretty and personalized (and affordable) haggadah covers.
