new summer seRies...


won't you please join me in my DIY (do-it-yourself) Summer Projects Series??

I'm rampin' up for the summer.....i love it! My kids & I have big plans for doing a project a week. BUT...our purpose & goal is to get super cReative & re-purpose items around the house in a cReative way:
home decor
fashion
function

...you get it.

Our goal is to
buy as little as possible to re-create as many projects as we can this summer!

so, I wanted to throw it out there & see if anyone wants to join in!
no pressure.
totally fun.

To get started.....I need a visual reminder of my goals.

So, I just printed this door hanger out on House of 3's French Oo La La paper, cut out & added my top ten things I wanted to do this summer...obviously each week we'll do more, but...it's a start!


So... DIY Summer Project No. 1 is:
re-doing T's room w/o buying anything new.
She's a girl who knows what she wants.
green.
black.
white.
very modern, cool vibe.

first things' first:
gather inspiration! So...I made up this just to get some ideas flowing.LinkLinklove this vibe. clean. fresh. funky!
Thanks to domino magazine, apartment therapy, brocade home, design sponge, & style me pretty for their endless 'inspiration board' inspiration!

Now, I've made up some 'inspiration' lists that I'll add the to-do's on for each DIY Summer Project!

*squeal* I'm sooo excited! I love it!
LMK if you're in!
we'll have FUN in this pRocess!

  23. Love it, love it, love it. What my father passed on to me is everything you have or find can be used for something, course he was a bit extreme on his idea, which I found out when I had to clean out his garage and home when he passed. But the concept is definately one I've carried on with in moderation of course. always looking for those rock bottom clearance red tags! Thanks! I'm onboard for sure! I purchased 6 shelving units from a local scrapbook store that went out of business, 3ftx10ft tall. 10 glass shelves in each one and recessed lights in each one. I Remodeled my entire master bedroom closet. Turned out awesome! My husband loved the idea as the custom closet company wanted $4,200 to do what I did for $1000, and I DID IT. Pix on my facebook. thanks Rhonna!
