Starter Home to Dream Home

I love meeting DIY bloggers, don’t you? Here is another I’d like to show off. (If you were early yesterday, you caught my blog booper. Oops.) Introducing Mikael from
Mikael is fairly new to blogging and she’s off to a great start with a lot of helpful tips and information in her posts along with before/afters and DIY eye candy.

And you won’t believe it. She finds the time to DIY on a budget with a 3-year-old daughter and 1-year-old twin boys. I know. Superwoman! Pop over and say hello! She’s given me a heads up on DIY projects coming soon. I can’t wait!


Thanks so much for sharing Mikaela! Your home is beautiful and your posts are full of so much helpful information! I can’t wait to see your next DIY project!

Coming up this weekend!
An exciting giveaway celebration for DIY Show Off readers.


Feminine Features – Surprise Party

Note: Feminine features is a post about feminine DIY home improvement, decor and craft projects. I apologize in advance if you came here looking for another type of “feminine features/show & tell”…you won’t find that here but you will find DIY eye candy. Enjoy!

Surprise! It’s a party! You’re invited! A Girls’ Day Out!

Here are some beautiful feminine DIY projects. Click the links to visit the original post for more details and tutorials. Then feel free to link up your own feminine DIY project (see instructions below).

I love my feminine office space/guest bedroom. Here are a few photos:



My powder room has feminine touches too.

And so does my guest room.

How about you? Do you have a pretty feminine DIY project to share? Let’s see it! Email it to me and I’ll add your photo and link to your project in this post or share your link below.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you’d like to link YOUR DIY FEMININE PROJECT post to the party:

  1. It’s always a surprise with a different theme and no specific date planned…just pops up out of the blue when the inbox is full of great DIY projects.
  2. You must use the button above and link to this post to share the linky love.
  3. Add your permalink (not your blog url, but your Show & Tell post url). Feel free to link a Past Post, just invite your readers in a current post with a quick note.
  4. Or email your link to thediyshowoff@gmail.com and I will add it for you.
  5. The party will run for a few days…so showing up fashionably late is acceptable. I will probably take tomorrow off from blogging so keep checking back for more links!
  6. Have fun!

I'm Telling! A Home Improvement Show & Tell Recap.

I thought it would be fun to spotlight some of the projects from the Show & Tell Surprise Party earlier this week. Here are the DIY home improvement projects that I thought were creative, beautiful and fun. If you’re featured, Make sure you grab an “I’m featured” button from the right side bar. Thank you to EVERYONE participating. I’m amazed and grateful for your participation without warning. 🙂 In real life…I’d need hours to “get ready”. Those of you with the amazing kitchen makeovers – you’re killing me! I’m so jealous! Click on the links to visit for more pictures of each project!
