1. What do you do with a beat up old coffee table? How about turn it into a bench? That's exactly what Julie from Less Than Perfect Life of Bliss did -
This is awesome. It's hard to believe this started as an $8 table. It's completely inspiring for me - I'd love to do something like this for my bedroom. Someday. When I have a little free time...but for now, it's pinned.
2. Here's a great EASY project - Scrabble tile magnets. Alicia from Atypical Type A came up with this fun idea. She glued magnets to the back of the tiles - anyone can do this!
Come on, yes, you can do this!
3. We all know how much I LOVE to spray paint stuff - but I have never spray painted a rug! What a great idea. Cheri from I Am Momma Hear Me Roar did just that and the result is fabulous -
She used a stencil to create the houndstooth pattern. Oh and stop by her blog to see this beauty in her kitchen - yum.
4. There are a few things in life that make me smile - and one of them is the phrase "no sew". Yup I don't sew. Oh maybe the occasional loose button here and there. But actual sewing? Um no. So (get it?) when I came across a tutorial for a no sew chair makeover, I was all over it. Cindy from Le Chaise Parfait covered an old chair with a drop cloth using staples.
Isn't it great? Love the ruffles! And I love the no sew!
5. I know it isn't even Thanksgiving yet, but I'm already getting excited for Christmas. I love Christmas. And I love seeing all of the Christmas decorating ideas on Pinterest. Hey, I like planning ahead. When I came across these beautiful ornaments, I figured I'd just pin them. You know, just to get ready.
Greenbean from Greenbean's Crafterole (who found the tutorial on Everyday Cricut) has the whole run down on these glitter-on-the-inside ornaments. I think they're beautiful - not only because they are much less messy but also because of the shinyness (not sure if that's a word - it does have the little red squiggly line underneath - but I think you know what I'm talking about). I'm really tempted to put this on my to-do list. Oh that list is getting long.
Are you inspired yet?
I enjoyed your posting today, as I do everyday. But did you know that today was Veterans' Day?
ReplyDelete@ The Hinsons - Why on earth would you ask that? I'm sure Kristen has access to a calendar, as do the rest of us, but everybody is entitled to their own way of commemorating this day. It seems to me that judgment of others, as you seem to be doing, is what leads to wars, not honours peace. IMHO.
