Hello everyone, hope your weekend is going well! We’ve had off and on rain showers all weekend long which to me is just an excuse to sleep in to the sound of rain on the roof (one of my favorite things in life). I finished up a fun DIY project yesterday and I’ll be posting about that tomorrow, but today how about a few inspiring projects from around the blogosphere? Amanda contributed a few of her favorite links too, enjoy these sensational projects!
I’m smitten with this teal velvet tufted headboard by Stephanie at Cre8tive Designs, and the step by step explains her inventive pin and tuck style tufting, so smart!
Barn doors are a guaranteed way to add character to your home and this barn door by Lee and Ashli at Maillardville Manor is another great DIY example.
There’s no need to shop only the bath aisle for your next shower curtain when you have this tutorial on how to turn any curtain into a shower curtain by Jenna at SAS Interiors.
Inspired by a piece from Restoration Hardware, Amanda built an industrial-style coffee table and saved almost $800. Visit The Ivy Cottage Blog for step-by-step instructions to make your own.
What do you get when you pair an antique tripod with an Anthropologie shade? Meaghan from for a song put the two together and came up with this tripod lamp.
Did you know that an iron may be the key to fixing that dent in your wood floor? Read all about this nifty trick over at Apartment Therapy.
Want a read about a few new resources for finding treasures on Craigslist? Kelly from View Along the Way teaches us a few great tips on ways to score thrifty finds online.
I see a lot of vintage suitcases popping up at flea markets and thrift stores, but never have I ever envisioned them like these shelves thought up by Ki Nassauer. Completely genius reinterpretation right?
Feeling crafty? Make your own layered modular felt trivet like this one for your pot of tea with Jessica from How About Orange.
Thank you Amanda for your contributions this week! Finally, a quick reminder, the Spring Fling Link Parties start this week, and Layla kicks it off on Tuesday with spring mantels! I’ll be hosting the Spring Craft link party on Thursday the 22nd. Rhoda will throw the spring door decor link party on Tuesday the 27th, and Ms. TDC will wrap it up with paint projects on Thursday the 29th.
Hope to see you at some (or all) of the parties!
Enjoy the links and your Sunday!

Wow! This is so great…it’s like the Reader’s Digest version of blogland. Thanks for compiling those for us.
What a great roundup! I love the white asian chests and that fab lamp! I actually created a similar lamp from an old tripod!

What an awesome roundup this week! And I can’t wait for the spring link parties! I’m just finishing up my spring mantle tonight!
love the headboard and sliding barn door — i’m tagging it as a project I need to do!
Great ideas – each one is winner!
Ki is one of my favorites. I remember seeing her “shelves” when they appeared in the FMS mag in the fall. I love her style, and I LOVE that mid century modern dresser underneath.
Love those online thrift shopping tips from Kelly! Her blog is too fun and too funny (and full of great information)!
