That DIY Party and DIY Highlights

Posted on February 17, 2013 by Roeshel

It’s time for That DIY Party and some DIY highlights! First, a re-cap from last week at DIY Show Off!

“Owl you need is love and chocolate” Valentine mantel…

Amanda from Mommy is Coocoo’s before and after bathroom makeover…

A reminder each day…”Today will be the best day ever!” DIY sign.

a fun time at a blogger event learning about some cool new Rust-Oleum products…

and announcing the start of the Countdown to Spring linky party series with some spring mantel inspiration…

Ready for some awesome DIY features? As always, I’ve had so much fun and gathered so much inspiration from YOUR linked up projects!

There were seriously SO many super sweet Valentine’s day DIYs linked up. You really might want to check out last week’s party to pin a few inspiring ideas for next year. Love.Love.Love.

I love this idea from Zorrie at Sugar & Chic…these adorable DIY animal placecards make me want to plan a dinner party for no special reason.

Kim at Reposhture shares how new lighting, crown moulding and paint give her living room a beautiful new look…

Look for cute wall art for your craft space? I’m loving these paint-dipped scissors on display over at Fynes Designs.

During next week’s party, I will be writing from somewhere warm and sunny! I think there might even be time to create one of these for the trip: a DIY travel neck pillow from Bacon Flavored Jam.

Lindsey always amazes me with her DIY craftiness. I’m loving her acorn rosette wreath. I love her creative design with the acorns, don’t you? Love it for spring!

Wouldn’t it be awesome to be able to see what leftover paints you have on hand? It is! Check out Carrie’s idea for organizing paint at Saving 4 Six.

The gorgeous DIY upholstered headboard at Made for a King seriously has me ready to list my sleigh bed. So beautiful!

Did you see Janel’s fun vintage Alice in Wonderland themed tea party for her daughter’s 15th birthday? Good times, great ideas, sweet memories, special day = happy girl. I loved every detail.

WoW! Did you see the awesome mason jar chandelier at Marty’s Musings? You’ll want the details on how she transformed her old one. I love mason jars as ‘globes’.

Did you have a chance to see the AWESOME dodecahedron (that’s quite the mouthful) DIY light fixture at View Along the Way? Stunning! It’s the perfect accent in her newly remodeled laundry room.

Over at Kammy’s Korner, there’s a whole lot of DIY going on in a sweet little girl’s bedroom makeover including a DIY barn wood headboard and painted/stenciled floor and the full shabby chic bedroom reveal.

At Birds and Soap, Jenny’s beautiful DIY diamond tufted dining bench is truly an inspiration. She shares a great tutorial and helpful tips so you can build one too! Check out those pretty buttons!

Now let’s see YOUR DIY! Time to “show off”…
