Hi everyone!
Happy Tuesday everyone!! Happy Canada Day to all our fellow Canadians! We hope you all are having a great day. Our #PetitePlume Pinterest Giveaway ends this Wednesday!! Be sure to enter HERE if you haven’t yet :)
It’s also time for this week’s How To’s Day! It’s no secret that we love all sorts of sweets and yummy food here at the Camelot Design Studio. Have you seen our What We Love Board? :) We enjoy baking sweet treats, and more importantly, eating them…it’s always a good day when someone brings in something delicious to the office. So inspired by all of our sweet tooths, we decided to make macaron pillows with our fleece…and boy did they turn out exceptionally sweet!!
Our Macaron Pillows are soft, comfy, adorable…and almost good enough to eat! We can imagine a bunch of our macarons, in different pastel colors, decorating a daybed or little girl’s bedroom – oh how cute, right? Because we used our plush fleece, they are perfect for cozying up with, either with a good book or for a little nap. We used our rose, turquoise, and white fleece making our macarons a cascade of pastel confectionary!

Hi everyone!
Happy Tuesday! We hope everyone is having a fantastic day so far. It isn’t the greatest of weather here today, but gosh is it hot and humid!! It’s days like these where all we want to do is stay indoors with the good ol’ AC :)
To liven things up a little bit here, we have our How To’s Day for you! With Summer officially here, that definitely means enduring in more outdoor activities…especially all things water-related! So excited for Summer days of swimming at the lake, catching up on a good book at the beach, and maybe even having a jet-ski adventure (…depending on how brave we’re feeling that day haha!). We always love a little nautical for the Summer, especially in fashion and décor. Who wouldn’t want to wear a navy and white striped dress and big floppy hat while cruising on the lake in a boat? Um, where do we sign up? :) But if you aren’t planning an adventure of the sorts this Summer either, have no fear…today’s How To’s Day is bringing the water to you!
Today we are sharing our tutorial on our Anchor Pillow, featuring our In The Navy by Jackie McFee Collection. And these two couldn’t be more fitting; our In The Navy collection features anchors, stripes, and dots in a fun navy, pink, and metallic gold color combination! We love the idea of a nautical-inspired guest bedroom or family room – add some decorative shells, some wood paneling, and a couple of our Anchor pillows on a striped couch…and you are all ready to set sail (…or at least it will feel that way haha!). Finish off the look for a nautical-inspired quilt, or two.
Check out the full tutorial for our Anchor Pillow HERE! :)

Hi everyone!
Happy Tuesday! Hope everyone is having a great one so far!! It’s such a pretty day out, we decided to have a fun photo shoot outside for today’s post! And even more prettiness coming your way with our current Neon & On FQ Bundle Giveaway that ends tomorrow. Be sure to enter HERE if you haven’t yet! :)
Speaking of photo shoots, today’s How To’s Day is inspired by just that! Here at the Camelot Design Studio, we are always looking for new and progressive ways to improve the look of our blog. We try to post interesting and refreshing things daily, and we hope you have been enjoying our posts thus far, but there’s always room for improvement! One thing that we are trying to get better at is our photography skills. A well-written post is one thing, but having an eye-catching photograph is what will grab the reader’s attention. What we have learnt through practice is that no matter how fantastic your camera is, lighting is key to a brilliant photo! However, studio lighting such as softboxes, umbrella lighting, and reflectors can be a pretty pricey investment…especially if you don’t need to use it every day.
We have come up with a pretty brilliant DIY project that is 1) cost-effective and 2) a great way to improve your photography skills/photos. Our DIY Soft Light Reflector uses our satin and, if you can believe, a hula hoop! How’s that for being resourceful? :) We have found that our soft light reflector reduces shadow lines and softens the appearance of your subject, thus creating a better, smoother, and prettier photograph!!
Now you can be your own professional photographer at home, no matter where you live. Take us for example: we’ve had to make due with our urban surroundings of trucks and warehouse buildings. Looks pretty good though, right? You never would have believed! :)

Hi everyone!
Happy Tuesday! I hope you all are having a wonderful day!! We are happily enjoying the sunshine and warm weather today. The pretty weather is making us daydream of taking a relaxing, tropical vacation to Turks & Caicos or Hawaii! And speaking of dreaming, we have got a DIY project to share with you today that reminds us of just that. Our heads are in the clouds today…
This week’s How To’s Day is our DIY Star and Cloud Shape Pillows tutorial! All of you fellow dreamers and astronomy lovers, this project is perfect for you. Another bonus, it is super easy to make AND is an exceptionally adorable project! Our shape pillows would be a great addition to a sky-themed bedroom (think clouds and stars scattered across a blue comforter!) or as a gift for a future astronaut! We always love to encourage creativity here, so these would be perfect playtime toys for kids – let their imaginations run free – and then a comfy accompaniment for naptime (because all that playing can wear you out, after all!). We adore our shape pillows with our Take Flight by Vita Mechachonis, a brilliant and bold airplane- and sky-themed collection!!
