THAT DIY PARTY & DIY Highlights

Hello, DIY friends! One of the reasons for the name “DIY Show Off” is not only to share my own DIY projects but to encourage others to give DIY a try as well as showcase creative DIY bloggers and their amazing DIY ideas in a weekly party over the years. This also includes pinning nearly every link for even more sharing. So welcome once again to THAT DIY PARTY!

In an old house, sometimes door stops come in handy. And yes, all 3 of mine are cast iron. And yes, I’ve stubbed my toes a few times. So when I saw these super sweet, soft door stops at The North End Loft, they were added to my must-do project list. Thanks, Laurel!
