DIY Project Parade and DIY Highlights

It’s a DIY linky party and you’re invited to share your latest DIY project! I’m so glad you’re here today! Share your amazing DIY work to inspire others and visit the thumbnail links for ideas for your next project.

This past week blogging was limited because I’ve been working on the apartment and the transformation is beginning to happen! So exciting!  That’s where I’ll be spending most of my time again this week. Again. {I could copy/paste those few sentences into my blog posts for the rest of the month! But this week I will be sharing the countertop and cabinet transformations. The pictures are piling up on my hard drive and can’t wait to share!

As always, last week’s party had so many awesome projects. I’d feature every one if I could but since I can’t, here are a few favorite highlights in case you missed them (see all links from last week here)

Molly from The Poor Sophisticate used things she already had/repurposed and recycled items from around the house to give her hallway a new look and the result is stunning!

I love affordable solutions and when I saw the DIY string globes at Desert Domicile, I fell in love…

I think this gorgeous cherry blossom bureau from Kim at Reposhture should be delivered straight to my guest room, don’t you? Unfortunately, I don’t think she’s parting with it.

You may have seen this one. Okay, usually I’m ‘writing’ my blog posts on the old outdated loveseat in the living room, where I’m also reading blog posts. And I read books on my Nook in my bed before falling asleep. After visiting Shauna at Perfectly Imperfect it dawned on me {light bulb moment!} that I need a reading and writing room exactly like hers. Except in my house. Inspiring!

How fabulous is this? A DIY board and batten headboard with awesome tutorial over at Todd & Lindsey creating. Such a great idea!
