Assymetrical Cascading Plate Wall

I've seen some very beautiful plate walls. However, I have never seen one like this one! I love how colorful and assymetrical it is. I also love the way it cascades down the wall. It definitely catches the eye. My Lil' Pumpkin shows this picture on her blog. Could you pull off a wall like this?

Make Your Own Wallpaper Stencil

Stenciling your walls is the definite trend right now. I must admit, the stenciling I've seen is amazing! Krista Artista decided to make her own stencil for her walls! How cool is that? Using some plastic, she cut her own stencil for about one-third of the cost of buying one (plus she has the tools to make more stencils!) Krista is new to blog land!

A Freakin' Fantastic Nursery For A BOY!!!

I am LOVING this little boy nursery. Everything about it is clean, fresh, fun and inventive! Check out that alphabet wall, the chevron shelves (that's what I want to call them) and the bright colored fabrics and paint.

I'm also loving the idea of embroidery hoops that look like balls. See that one that looks like a baseball. You could also make on of a basketball, tennis ball, bowling ball, etc. What a great idea for boys! This room was created by Hope, Longing, Life (and is guest posting it at Hyphen Interiors - one of my new favorite blogs.)

Take a tour of the baby boy nursery!!!!

Finial Door Stopper

I love this idea from Landee See, Landee Do (contributing this at I Heart Naptime). She changed out her ugly door stops and put a decorative finial in its place. Now it is the most stylish door stop I have ever seen!

Guest Blogger - 1st Lady of the House - Embroidery Hoop Wall Decor

Hey there Someday Crafts readers.

My name is Camilla and I blog at

1st Lady Of The House.

I'm way happy to be sharing my nursery update with you.

My nursery is on child #2 at this point and I haven't done anything with it since I was pregnant with my first baby. I decide it was time for some updating.

I saw the cute fabric in embroidery hoops all over the blog-o-sphere and Pinterest and I thought it would be a cute and cheap way to spruce up the place.

I wanted my baby's name to be included in the collage so I bought wood letters from Hobby Lobby.

I started collecting embroidery hoops from thrift stores and what I couldn't get there I bought from the Hob Lob as well. I bought fabric from various places.

OK, I primed and spray painted my letters. White Spray Primer, Then a Blue'ish Green'ish color (because I wanted it to come through in the distressing stage) then White Spray paint.

Then I distressed with my electric hand sander (which I bought and this was my first project to use it on! Love it!)

I then hung picture hangers on the back. This process may or may not have made me swear a few times. The nails were teeny tiny itsy bitsy, so stabilizing the nail was close to impossible.

Then this occurred...

Not once but TWICE!

Got out the E6000 and jimmy-rigged the thing because there was no way I was going to get a new letter.

OK, Then to the funnest part...

This was way easy! Put the hoop on the fabric of choice and then trim around the back.

So here is the before picture:

As my baby was growing out of clothes, I would just pile it on top of the dresser to put into the correct bins. The bin you see on the right is the clothes that she was growing into, toys spread around, every single piece of furniture is a different color (not in a good way).

More casualties: I was moving the changing table out and the leg busted off, kinda glad because now I can buy a new one when I ever have another baby (Something to match).

This is the inside of the lamp shade...That is not suppose to be bent like that...Off to Target to get a lamp shade!

Hung the collage! Love it!

I want to take done the alphabet letters. I just didn't have a ladder handy.

Rearranged the furniture around, took out the outdated rug, no more changing table, took down some pictures, cleaned up the massive mess...I'm left with this!

and again here is the before

I have collected tea sets since I was a small child.

With all the disasters that happened with this project, I have to mention one more that I didn't take pictures of.

I was all done fixing the room up and the baby was whining, so I put her down for her nap in her new updated room. Ten minutes later she starts crying, I go in and she had thrown up all over in her crib, so I had to tear apart her crib sheets and padding, get out the towels and draped everything else in towels as to not get soiled. So the room lasted for 10 minutes looking like that! Happy Day. Life of a Mother, Right?

Thanks for reading along. I hope you stop on by my blog,

Patriotic Plate Wall (and more!)

7 Layer Studios has such fun and patriotic decor for her house including this red, white and blue plate wall. I also love her red and white polka dot window treatments she puts up for the occasion. There are so many beautiful things to look at in her July decor.

Lightly Stained Panel For Wall

Persia Lou created this gorgeous panel for her wall. With a light stain and a simple hand-painted picture, I think it looks more than amazing.

Check These Six Babies Out!!!

Here are just a few links that are stood out to me today! Some are breath-taking, others just make me laugh! Hope you like them!

After I saw this stone wall at I Design, I felt in love! I wish I could have a wall like this at my house. What gorgeousness!

This doily wall art is beautiful to look at and so easy to make. I'm imagining some brightly dyed doilies for a different colored rooms! Great job, Little Lovelies.

Sweet Sumo's Stuff remixed a pattern to make an off-the-shoulder shirt for her darling daughters. Love this shirt!

What a cute decoration for a front door or wall for the month of July. A beadboard star!!!! Find it at Mandi Being Crafty.

Since I will be having a baby in a few weeks (YIKES!), I'm loving this idea of a hospital survival kit including printables! What a fun gift for a friend right before they give birth! Check it out at My Own Road.

This is just too funny not to show off! The Autocrat is showing off some BRA PURSES that people have made on her blog. No offense, but I don't want one:)

Wall Mounted Bookcase

Check out this bookcase that is mounted on the wall at The Ivy Cottage Blog. I love how little space it takes up and how it fits perfected under this window!

Wall Painted Headboards

Are you wanting a specific headboard, but either can't find it or can't afford it? Not a problem. Just paint it on the wall. It's an inexpensive solution that can be changed with a coat of paint when you want something else. This beautiful painted on headboard is from The 2 Seasons.

See the wall painted headboard.

String Art Trees

These string art trees would be fun to make at home with the kids! Lots of string/yarn and some pushpins! How would you decorate it? Get the details at Re-Nest.

Learning/Art Activity Wall with Sliding Ladder

I. AM. JEALOUS!!!! Look at this learning and art activity wall from Girl In Air. It has a galvenized metal wall for magnets and the chalkboard wall with a painted train on which to draw along with a sliding ladder!!!!! I wish I had a wall like that in my home! So much fun for kids (and adults)! It only cost her about $100 to create! WOW!

See the learning/art activity wall with sliding ladder!

Wall of Small Mirrors

I've seen a few wall of mirrors and think they are gorgeous. However, most of the mirror are big and I think how expensive it would be to make a wall with big mirrors and how much wall space I would have to have. I saw this wall of small mirrors at All Things Heart and Home and fell in love. I could probably find quite a few small mirrors from thrift stores and the dollar store! Pretty!

See the wall of small mirrors.

Boy's Bedrooms! (3)

If you've got boys, you've got to head over to Moore Minutes to check out her 3 boys bedrooms! They are awesome. My favorite part of the rooms is this corregated metal wall. Wow! Isn't that a statement and a focal point!!!! It would look cool in several different areas of a house! All three boys rooms are in different posts!

Paneled Wall AND Molding Party!

I'm a huge fan of molding and fancy detailing on walls (not that I have it in my house, but I want it there!) Decor Chick made this plain wall fancy by adding some paneling. It didn't cost much to do this! You can see the paneled wall tutorial HERE.
