Spool Bookcase

Wouldn't you love to have a piece of furniture like this spool coffeetable at your house? What a cool way to store some books or other gadgets! The description of how to make it is given at Reading Is Fashionable.

See the spool bookcase/coffeetable.

Wednesday Highlights

You ladies are too fantastic! Do you have any idea how hard it is to narrow down highlights from the weekly parties? So hard. Here are a few I love this week.

Fall decor is starting to show up and I'm so excited about it! Gather all those fall materials and make some pretty crafts like this fall wreath at Love Laugh Create.

Naptime Crafters built this amazing play kitchen with running water! My kids would have WAY TOO MUCH fun with this in their playroom!





This tutu lamp would be a dashing addition to a girl's room or anywhere to do with dancers. Apothecary Home made it so frilly and beautiful.

Add a little touch of whimsy to a couch, chairs or a bed by adding some fun his and hers pillows! See these at Let's Make This Pretty.

The fancy stitching on pants is quite the rage. You can make pants that are rockstar worthy by doing what I Am Momma, Hear Me Roar did.

Stencils are being used on so many things right now including clothing. Brassy Apple stenciled a skirt to make it super fabulous.

Another thing you can stencil is the tops of table and benches. This one by Tattered and Inked looks so spectacular.

Stool Table

Tattered and Inked took an old, beat up stool and gave it new life by making it into a little table! Absolutely adorable!

A few Highlights!

Busy summer day!!!!! Here's a few ideas from today's party I looked at quickly. Don't you wish you had more time to sit and look through every link? Hopefully, you've taken a look at a few!

Sun Scholars has 17 amazing ideas for making very cool and creative family trees. This is a great blog to get so many ideas from (especially if you have younger children.)

I've always loved the look of quilled projects! Suzy's Artsy Crafty Sitcom made this "Starry Night" pictures using quilling. AMAZING!!!!

Don't you love this tiny jewelry box turned pin cushion from Cat on a Limb? I do!

Papercrafter Thoughts has a great way to use buttons and an embroidery hoop . She made a button clock. Darling!!!!

Do you have a sofa that rests up against a wall? Or do you want a little table to go behind a sofa rather than just the back of a sofa. I love this idea from Sara Plus to make a little table to go behind the sofa to place decor. See how to make a behind-the-sofa table.

Fabulous Party Links!

There are some fabulous ideas linked up today! Here are a few I Loved!!!!

These expensive looking night stands were created using aluminum foil - not silver leaf! They are gorgeous! Check out how to make faux silver leaf furniture at Red Hen Home.

Frou-FruGal turned three chairs into a stunning bench. What a fabulous idea!!!! I think this is one of the most beautiful benches I have ever seen.

This watermelon skirt from Sun Scholars is such a fun idea for the summer! Definitely a cute idea!

I've long loved the nursery at Kara's Korner. The day bed, the bookshelves, the wall art, the closet....EVERYTHING. Visit this post to see a nursery tour and get links to every project she did for this amazing room.

I love what Embracing Change did with an old door! She made it into a chic table with subway art on the top. The whole package (including the chairs) was inexpensive and is OH SO DARLING! I need to learn how to use FreeCycle. I want this for a outdoor table at my house!

Happy Father's Day! If you are looking for last minute gifts or ideas, head over to the Father's Day linky party!

If your going to hosting a BBQ, party of shower this summer, keep those awesome looking carved fruits in mind as a centerpiece! They will be a big hit. Suzy's Artsy Sitcom shows you how to carve a canteloupe! Love it!

Fabulous Party Highlights!

I'm taking a few minutes of my vacation to look at the party links and WOW!!! Here are a few that stood out to me. I will have a few more to show tomorrow!

Is it me or is there something totally stunning about these tree stumps painted white and used a coffee table? Thrifty and Chic pulled off this crazy tree stump tables in her entirely too gorgeous house! I wish I could pull off her style!

There are some drop-dead fabulous paper napkins out there to buy! A Mom Not a Professional or a Perfectionist turned some paper napkins into decor balls! I need some of these!

Breakfast For Dinner took two iron garden/planter baskets and turned them into a gorgeous light fixture. It looks like a million bucks (even though it cost her nothing!)

There is something beautiful about silver! I'm loving these Pottery Barn inspired silver seashells in the bathroom at from Gardners to Bergers. Pretty!

In Too Deep turned some Ikea spice racks into these awesome book shelves. What an easy and functional transformation! Hurry and run to Ikea OR look at the spice racks around you to see if they would work!

Tulle Tutu Table Skirt

For your next social gathering, make a tutu table skirt to glam up your occasion. This looks like a thousand bucks! Sweet Craft Cakes shows you how to make one.

Vintage Suitcase Table

I'm loving what Shabby, Chic and Charming did with a vintage suitcase. She used it as a table top after she painted it a pretty white. What a charming little sidetable! I love the vintage phone on top too!

Finial, Candlestick and Tableleg Bunny Rabbits (4)

.

Have you heard of "Wood You Like To Craft?" Every month a group of bloggers collaborate on a fun, similar project, but use their own personalities to make the projects different. You can follow along with them and make your own! It's really a great creative inspiration! This month's project was these tall bunnies and they are hosted at Sassy Sanctuary!

These finial-type bunnies are adorable! These were made by Under My Umbrella!

These, made by Sassy Sanctuary , are candlestick rabbits. ADORABLE!

Table legs rabbits are extra tall and extra cute! They were created by Craft Goodies.

These short table leg rabbits with aprons are making me giddy! These were made by Crafty Sisters.

Nest Napkin Rings

These spring nest napkin holders from Scissors and Spatulas would be perfect for a spring or Easter luncheon or a tablescape. They are super simple to make and inexpensive too!

See the Spring nest napkin rings.

Table Setting Placemat

Punkin Patterns has a fun way to teach kids (and adults) how to set the table properly with these place setting placemats. Whether for the actual dinner table or for the kid kitchen, these are an awesome idea. (Don't you love the fabric she used?!!!)

See the place setting placemat tutorial.

2 Clock Tables

Making the top of a table to look like a clock is a rockstar idea! This one from All About Vignettes used roman numerals on hers! I'd love to eat lunch at this clock table any day!

A Vintage Vine made a different table into a clock top too. She used regular numerals! Another beauty!!!!
