Wheat Wreath

The wheat fields around where I live are ready to harvest. And I'm tempted to grab a bunch for some awesome fall projects like this wheat wreath from Choose To Thrive. What other projects can you do with wheat?




See the wheat wreath.






Faux Beaded Chandelier

Can you guess what this faux chandelier is made from? Give up! Mark Montano made it from a tomato cage!!!! Isn't that fun and beautiful? This could be a great way to add some bling to a corner or a ceiling. I wonder what it would look like with a light in the center of this?

Paint Your Furniture (2 Different Ways)

The vibrant color of this teal blue chair rocks! I wish I could find some awesome fabric like it OR I could just paint it this color like Hypen Interiors did! Yeah, she painted it with a brush and roller!














You are not going to believe this one either! This beautiful sofa used to be navy blue. Was it reupholstered? Nope! Johnny In A Dress spray painted it. Super cool!






Learn how to spray paint a sofa.




Washer Monograms, Washer Wall Art

There are so many uses for washers that you buy at the home improvement store. Add this washer monogram to the list. It's fabulous. I'll Get You My Pretties made some other interesting shapes and cool designs with washers for some great wall art.

Adding a Faux Transom and Hallway Arches (2)





Make the top of your doorways look super fancy by adding some faux transom. In My Own Style uses a couple of secrets to pull this awesome look off.








It is amazing what adding a few little architectural details (like these arches) can do for a room. This hall went from boring to beautiful by adding some pre-cut curvy arches. See this at La La Bliss.







Wednesday Party Highlights



I missed posting some party highlights this week because my computer was not cooperating! Here are a few lovely projects that I would love to see in my house or do!





I want a couple shelves filled with these Restoration Hardware industrial basket knock-offs at my house. I have quite a few shelves that would more stylish with these babies! Blissfully Ever After is the creator of these!



Have the style of Ballard Design without the high cost by building these cafe shelves by yourself. Great tutorial by That Village House.





I'm loving how A Little Tipsy glammed up her builder grade bathroom mirror by adding some frosting around the edges. (That sounds funny!) Pretty, Pretty frosted-edged mirror!







Check out these gorgeous skinny ruffled headbands at Flamingo Toes! So pretty and feminine.





I've never met a kid who didn't like to play in water with their hands. This water wall looks like so much fun! A Family That Birds Together has some happy children because of this contraption!
