Pinterest Love no. 6

Here are my favorite Pinterest finds this week. Enjoy!
1. Table Top Letters

This looks like a fun way to add dimension to a table top. I don't know about you but I love typography (letters & numbers). My only concern would be using the table and I would probably add a piece of glass on top or maybe epoxy.

2. Trophy and Medal Display

I think this is a great idea for all the participation medals my kids get. I'm definitely adding this to my to do list.

3. Blanket Ladder Display

This is so sweet and functional. In our house we keep the temperature low and use a lot of lap blankets and quilts when we're watching TV to keep warm. This is a great way to store and display those blankets and quilts.

4. Beaded Glass Gifts

This is the perfect little housewarming or hostess gift. Its something unique that will be sure to be cherished. All the directions are provided on the link. Check it out.

5. Lace Top with Turquoise Bead Necklace

I really love that necklace. I love Turquoise. I think I'll work on making a necklace like that. Love Love Love.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great week!

Pinterest Love no. 5

I had a hard time choosing just 5 today but here are my favorites this week.
1. Winecork Corkboard

I love that they added color to their corkboard. I have been collecting winecorks for a while. I may have to use some for this project.

 

2. Hanging Basket Stand

I am so adding this to my to do list. I'm ready for flowers and love that this would let you put those amazing hanging baskets anywhere.

 

3. Pop of Color Desk

Love this! I just love adding that unexpected color.

 

4. Old Thread Spool Art

My mom is a quilt artist and always has sewing projects going on. She spends more time in her sewing room than anywhere else. When I saw this pin I immediately thought of her. I will be keeping my eyes open for old wood spools so I can make this for her sewing room.

 

5. Unexpected Flower Pot

I love these flowers. But I really love that they are planted in this amazing dish. What a wonderful idea!

 

Thanks for stopping by!

Here are my top five pins in my feed this week.

1. Plywood Mat

It seems this is an old post but it is new to me. And one I was excited to have show up in my pin feed. I have a plastic mat in my craft space and it is cracked to the point that my chair does not roll smoothly across it. Actually it justs stuck in the cracks. This is a great alternative. Its cheaper and the update on the link says that its lasted 3 years without any cracks or paint chips. This is being added to my to do list.

2. Stacked Books Table Lamp

I love lamp! I have yet to make a lamp. I keep reading and seeing how easy it can be but the idea is so intimidating. I love that this link has a full tutorial. So cool!

3. Tea Cup Display

Isn't this so sweet. I love how she combined the ornate pieces with the simple plates. When I was a child my mom gave me my very own demitasse cup, it is one of my favorite things. I'm going to have to keep my eyes open for pieces to make my own teacup display. 

4. Rain Boots Wreath

I can't decide what I like more the rain boots wreath decor or the amazing door the boots are hanging on. This is a super cute idea for spring.

5. Garden Tricks and a Quick and Easy Greenhouse

So its not a pretty picture but talk about a cheap way to keep plants warm. Living in the Seattle area we don't get a lot of sun or warmth in the Fall, Winter or Spring... it can be depressing. The link has a few ideas for helping your garden. I will definitely be referring to it as I try to work in my yard. 

Well I hope you enjoyed some of my Pinterest Love! Thanks for stopping by!

Here are my favorite Pins this week.

1. Angelfood cake skewers

This looks amazing! I am totally going to serve these at my next party. And you're totally invited...

 

2. Turquoise and Purple Table Setting

Stunning colors. I don't know if I could eat off of these because I wouldn't want to get them dirty. Plus I would be too busy staring at all the beautiful colors.

 

3. Candy Jars

 

My son's 13th's birthday is coming up soon and I want to put together a candy bar for him and his friends. Do you think these are too girly? Will they care since they will be filled with candy?

 

They look so easy to make. This is definitely being added to my to do list.

 

4. Poppies!

 

 I am in love with poppies right now! I just purchased some seeds and am going to try to grow some... wish me luck.

 

5. Spring Hydrangea Wreath

 My all time favorite flower - the Hydrangea. This is being added to my to do list.

 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Here are my 5 favorite pins on Pinterest this week. Enjoy!

1. Be Brave Printable

This is one of my favorite songs. It is also one of my daughter's favorite songs. I love that. I love that it has a great message. OSP has made a wonderful free printable. I love that too!

2. Ladder Shelf

Isn't this so cool. I actually have an old ladder in the garage. This is getting added to my to do list. Thanks Refresh Restyle for the awesome tutorial and inspiration.

3. Beadboard Table Top Box

I just love the simplicity of this center piece. Happy at Home provided a great tutorial on how to make this box. I so want to be more comfortable with tools. This might be a good starter project.

4. Owl Coin Purse

I have not been able to get over my infatuation with owls. They are just so stinking cute! This pattern from Do Small Things With Love seems easy to do. I love it.

5. Mint Colored Reading Chair

What a wonderful chair, wonderful space, wonderful color combination. Classy Clutter did an amazing job classing it up.

Pinterest Favorites

I spend way too much time on Pinterest dreaming about the projects I could be doing if I didn't have to work all day, didn't have budget limitations, didn't have an already packed garage... I thought I would share the top 5 projects or inspirations I found on Pinterest this week. In no particular order ofcourse.

1. Terracotta Pots

So I'm not a gardener... I love gardens and dream about what could be if I magically grew a green thumb. These super cute upcycled terracotta pots are definitely on my to do list. I actually bought a milk-crate full of these at a local thriftstore recently. Hopefully soon you will see my version of this. If the picture link doesn't work you can see this project at Songbird.

2. Distressed Mantle

I just love this distressed yumminess... I recently purchased a freestanding oak mantle off Craigslist. I am totally going to do something like this to it. This project may have to wait until the weather gets warmer. Not sure I can wait... in the meantime I'm looking at inspiration on Pinterest. I know this link doesn't go anywhere but its still wonderful inspiration.

3. Style Inspiration

I just love this model's make up, hair, dress, and that amazing necklace... *sigh*

4. Turquoise Dining Table

I just love turquoise! That is it. Enjoy!

5. Simple Cupcake Liner Heart Wreath

Such a simple project and perfect for valentines (which is only a week away!). I fully intend on making this for my front door. Add it to my to do list.
