Meet:  Gloria. Her blog name is a DIY girl’s mantra! Right?!

“Hi! I’m Gloria and started blogging in January. It’s been an awesome push to get projects done, there is ALWAYS something to do! I love your blog so much! I’ve found so much inspiration on here and hope maybe some others can find some from my work too!”

Gloria likes Shiny Things (me too!)…a sparkly crystal handle holder:

Becomes a pretty hallway light.  Easy. DIY. Glam. (Yes I did just jump out of my chair to see if my candle holder would work as a light cover!)

Love the stripes too!
And speaking of GLAM!  This was Gloria’s closet before…
Dreamy after!  (See more pictures of her glamorous organization at “Closets are Rooms Too“)…
And speaking of organization, that leads to the transformation story of this monster…
 big and beautiful

Meet:  Dave from Transform My Home (update:  links have been removed.  Dave is no longer blogger due to more important priorities). He is new to the blogging world but loves to fix up his home.  A self taught DIYer and novice (he’s a little humble) furniture maker, he enjoys sharing his project to teach and inspire others.  I’m honored to ‘show off’ a few of his DIY accomplishments:
The kitchen before was so dark…
Now, it’s a beautiful bright farmhouse kitchen.  I love the details! .
The dining room before…
has so much farmhouse charm now!  Check it out… 
Fabulous furniture – DIY! Wow.   He claims he’s not a master furniture maker but…well, I’ll let you judge for yourself:
Farmhouse Table using reclaimed wood
Pie Safe Shoe Storage!
Wood Top Kitchen Island
Awesome Pantry
WOW!  Dave, thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home and amazing furniture!  I’ve enjoyed looking through your blog and seeing your creativity and hard work!  Thanks for sharing! 🙂

Maple Leaves & Sycamore Trees
Meet:  Kat from Maple Leaves & Sycamore Trees. In her search for the perfect ottoman, she REALLY applies thinking outside of the box.  I love her genius solution.  She took this table…

Cut the legs…
Worked some spray paint magic…
Recycled some foam…
Upholstered the top, added nail head trim and tufting…
TA-DA…all of their creativity and hard work paid off. Wow!
See the the full HOW-TO tutorial at Completed Ottoman.
And more of Kat’s creativity at 
Thank you Kat (and Mitch) for sharing your amazing transformation! So clever and GORGEOUS! (Thanks too for the recent post with MORE pantry eye candy including some I haven’t seen before. Just the motivation we need to add to our “pantry files”!) I also can’t wait to see the progression of your garage turned master suite! LOVE the doors!  🙂
