That DIY Party & DIY Highlights

Hellooooo, dear DIY friends! It’s hard to believe another week has flown by. I’m feeling a bit of a withdrawal from DIY and fixin’ to change that this week by digging into some DIY at last!

This past week at DIY Show Off:

You know I love me some Rust-Oleum for transforming old and ulgy into “new”. I the pleasure of attending a Rust-Oleum blogger event in Charlotte, NC with the fun opportunity to learn about and try some awesome products, make some super interesting new friends from Rust-Oleum and Lowe’s and met some of my amazing blog friends. I’ll be sharing more about what I learned, who was there, what we did and what I made as soon as it’s delivered. I can’t wait!

As you may have noticed, I re-arranged the blog too. Again. Re-arranging. A DIY girl’s addiction, right? A fresh new header (I think I’ll keep this one for a while)…

DIY Party Highlights

And the favorite part of my week: visiting YOU and seeing your latest DIY, even when it takes me over 4 hours and I’m still in my pajamas at 4 p.m. in the afternoon on a Saturday. Nothing like getting cozy with a laptop and accepting your invitation to see what you’ve been doing. Check out these crazy creative DIY projects…

Kristin at Simply Klassic Home is getting to be a wood plank pro. She has a beautiful way of making a touch of rustic and industrial look amazing in her home. Her latest DIY is her Star Wars themed wood plank headboard. Awesome! You can also see the full boy’s bedroom reveal!

UPDATES: What’s been going on with me? Well,  I’ve been planning a new extension of DIY Show Off for featuring your creative DIY projects for a couple of months now {have you seen the Google community called DIY Meeting Place yet? There’s more to that coming soon!}. I finally arrived at a time when I can make it happen and got the ball rolling this past week. So exciting!

I’ve also started a new blog. As in, it’s still a newborn baby blog with 1 blog post. I know this is going to come as a shock, but I have more than just DIY decorating and home improvement interests. ::gasp:: Sorry if you fell off your chair! I’ll be sharing those other things, more variety, over at…

But don’t worry. I plan to be here at DIY Show Off as usual too. DIY is my #1 favorite interest.

Heads up! You’re going to want to pencil this one in:

DIY Project Parade and awesome DIY features

Hello, DIY friends! It’s that time of the week…time for a fresh new DIY linky party and some awesome DIY features.

DIY Project Parade featured image

If you’re wondering where I’ve been, I’m here. I’ve just been working on non-blogging priorities and doing some major cleaning. Today is the day of our “home visit” with our local Italian Greyhound Rescue. I don’t think they “inspect” your home exactly, but strangers interviewing us in our home does feel like an inspection. Besides, since the new year makes me WANT to clean and declutter, routine cleaning turned into organizing cupboards,closets, purging, 3 trash bags and a pile for donating…well, that’s where I’ve been.

No fear…DIY in the DIYShowOff home will get back on schedule this week. But with a pooch in our near future…this DIY from last week caught my eye. Dog dish chairs at the DIY Village. Awesome!
