DIY Show Off Recap: I have something to show off from earlier in the week. My free-standing (moveable) vertical pallet herb garden. By far one of my favorite DIY projects this year. Looks so pretty, smells delicious and tastes so good. A great addition to the patio and conveniently located near the kitchen door.

As I catch up on laundry in my horrible awful no good laundry room today, I’m so envious of Kathryn’s gorgeous laundry room. She shared her amazing before and after laundry room reveal at The Dedicated House. So.inspiring. There’s hope for me yet!

I love everything that Julia completes and her beautiful mid-century modern dresser makeover at Cuckoo 4 Design is stunning accent in her beautiful room…

The same goes for Anu. Something as simple as giving a set of stools a fresh new look in shade of mint is a brilliant way to add some color and interest to otherwise overlooked functional accent pieces…

Don’t you just loooove a fun room accent. Talk about a conversation piece. Susan’s first aid foot locker at HomeRoad has a beautiful new finish and even casters! Love it! Don’t you?
