Best of the Blogosphere

Let's get to it, here's this weeks best:

 

#1 - Wedding Invitation Art (The Hunted Interior)

 

This is the most creative way I've ever seen to display such a treasured item.  Truly meaningful.

 

 

 

#2 - Furbish Studio Reno (Glitter Guide)

 

There are no words for this.  Jamie has more creative talent in her pinkie than in, like, twenty of me.

 

 

 

 

 

#3 - New Art from Kerry Steele (Design Du Monde)

 

Kerry's finished some new canvases and the results are amazing.  I love how she experiments with her brushwork and colors but no matter how different her canvases may be, they are always undoubtedly Kerry.

 

 

 

 

 

Have a great weekend!

Best of the Blogosphere

Time for another Best of the Blogosphere round up!

 

Here it goes:

 

 

#1 - Board and Batten Hallway (Young House Love)

 

The DIY instructions for this wore me out (they were very detailed which is great if you want to try this yourself, there was a time when I would have done that but with two kids there is no way it would happen now) but the results are fantastic.  Makes me want to add some Board and Batten in my mud room.  The project was completed for only $57, but note that they already had tools and things like caulk and spackle on hand.





 

 

 

 

#2 - The Point (Elements of Style)

 

I want to go here too.  Do you sense a theme of getaway/escape?  (see last week's post).  I think it's just the winter blues.

 

 

 

 

 

#3 - Patio Makeover (Bryn Alexandra)

 

This post isn't necessarily exciting, its the promise of seeing the finished product that's exciting.  My patio needs a makeover too, so maybe she'll give me some good inspiration.  I'm so ready for the cold weather to be over so we can enjoy the outdoors again!

 

 

 

That's all for this week.





Best of the Blogosphere

After several weeks of sickness, I am hopefully (keep your fingers crossed and say a few prayers) back to the blog.

 

While I have not actually been blogging, I have been thinking about blogging and that has been pretty productive.

 

I've decided to start a few series to add to the blog in addition to more random posts.  First up is Best of the Blogosphere.  No time to peruse all the blogs out there? No worries, I will do it for you and give you a weekly roundup of my favorite goodies.  Here it goes:

 

#1 - Jenny Komenda's Bathroom Re-Do (Little Green Notebook)

 

Jenny is the ABSOLUTE QUEEN of DIY and I do not know why she doesn't have her own show on HGTV because she would be fabulous on it. Her DIY's don't look DIY at all, they look amazing. She repainted some fugly laminate in her bathroom and it is killer! 

 

From this:

#2 - Working With Series (Emily A. Clark)

 

Sheer genius - addressing things that we can't easily change in our homes and making a positive out of a negative.  This week features ideas on how to update oak kitchen cabinets.  Great ideas abound:

 

 

 

#3 - Lindsay's New House (Sadie and Stella)

 

 

This is exciting because I can't wait to see all the wonderful things she will do to it!  This is one of her design boards for a client, so beautiful!

 

 

 

#4 - The Wythe Hotel (I Suwannee)

Jamie wants to go there for her birthday.  Can she book me a room?  For, like, a month or two?

 

 

 

#5 - Pillows featured on Society Social (Mimosa Lane)

I can't get this image out of my head.  Love the pillow combo.

 

 

Can't wait to see what next week brings!
