Time to “show off” your DIY

Whoa! Where did the week go?! I can’t believe it’s time for THAT DIY PARTY again already!

that-diy-party

Recap of my week: I got the soon-to-be pantry painted {EZ Twist PaintStick review} and planned to paint the trim this weekend, however, that hasn’t happened.

If you follow on Instagram, you’ll have noticed that we have three new lights {thanks to my nephew, Kaleb, for his help with wiring. Swapping out a chandelier is not a one person job}.

  1. homebrew hallway (Allen + Roth Edison Mission Style)
  2. sitting room (Allen + Roth Edison Style Oil Rubbed Bronze)
  3. dining room (Industrial Cage Chandelier)

and (not DIY related but…) after saving for nearly a year, the shopping day I’ve been anticipating happened! Hurray! I’ll be blogging from a new laptop that doesn’t overheat and shut down mid-post or during photo editing. And I don’t have to participate in Google Hangouts via iPhone anymore now that I have a laptop with a camera. That’s going to save a little time and a lot of frustration. I’m so excited!

I’m running short on time this weekend so THAT DIY PARTY highlights from last week will be in a separate post early this week. I started, but seriously – there are so many awesome projects linked up to last week’s party…I’m going to need an extra day or two to catch up!

It’s a Spring Thing Favorites

As I look out the window at the snow flurries (yet again!), I’ve decided to look for spring elsewhere…

SpringThing feature

Over the past month, four blog friends (me included) hosted “It’s a Spring Thing” link party, sharing our own spring DIY projects:

  2. Roeshel: indoor spring fairy garden at DIY Show Off
  3. Lana: infant’s magnetic playhouse at Making a House a Home
  4. Kim: bar makeover at Design Thoughts blog

and rather than look at the cold and snow outside, I diverted my eyes to the “It’s a Spring Thing” party and compiled a list of inspiring favorites. Take a look:
