A Sense of Design

Good morning, DIY friend!

I‘d like to introduce you to Gina of

A sense of design
A new creative DIY blog started just a few months ago but already showing some great DIY projects under her label appropriately titled DIY tutorials. My favorite is the stenciled wall tutorial…
Isn’t it pretty?  It’s the same stencil I used for my daughter’s room so I might be a little biased.  Here is Gina’s beautiful result…
She also has some fabulous furniture features!
Desk before
Gilded desk now – gorgeous!

Gina is not only DIY creative, she’s blog-creative too.  I LOVE this ongoing series of hers…

You’ll have to visit A Sense of Design to read the posts. I know you’ll enjoy it as much as I have reading back through them!

Wait! Are you still here or did you head over already? There’s more to see too!  One of our favorite topics, HOMES – before and after!  Here’s a sneak peek of Gina’s house.

Gina, welcome to blogging!  You’re off to an awesome start!  I can’t wait to catch up on your posts and follow along to see more! Thanks so much for showing off today! 😉
Coming soon – in order to fix the feed, the DIY Show Off will soon have a new look. Unsuccessful attempts have pushed me to switch to my own domain. Thanks for your patience and sticking with it while I work out the bugs. 🙂

DIY Glory Story

Blog:  The Glorious Pile.

My Photo

GLORYSTORY
I’m a graphic designer, instructor and a packrat, just like my grandma. I have hoarding tendencies but I love pretty things, good design and the simple life. This blog is a journal of the everyday things that inspire me and the 80 year old pile of bricks I call home. While you’re dreaming, take time to appreciate what’s around you. 

Glorious Reminder:  While your dreaming, take time to appreciate what’s around you. 

Bathroom Makeover
Yikes! to Wow!
Collecting pieces and accents for 7 years is dedication but the beautiful result is well worth the wait. 
The details, colors and vintage vibe make me sigh.  LOVE!
See the before, the demo, the progress, beautiful details and inspiration at DONE!
There’s lots more DIY where that came from.  Here are a few more amazing projects…
Ugly Duckling to Swan Chairs
oh no!oh yes!
Lovely designer looking room too!

Garage Door Makeover
before
after – beautiful! (I’d give anything for a garage. Period. The doors? Icing!)
Pop over, say hello! I KNOW she’d love to hear from you!  Blog buddy support and encouragement means so much!  Making new blog friends is so much fun!
