Now on to Inspiration Friday….

Wowee Zowee!!
 Last week we had a grand total of 107 Guests stop by and visit us at
Now, while we were totally amazed and humbled by the number of folks who stopped by and joined in the fun, it did present a little problem.
Here’s a hint…

That was sent on Friday night and was the first of many texts flying back and forth between us as we ooohhhed and aaahhhed over every single link that popped up!
You amazingly talented and creative people don’t make this easy on us!
But, as hard as it was to choose, and it was HARD, we did manage to narrow it down.
Here are just a few of the High-Lights from last week!



First up we have Janet, a.k.a. The Craigslist Queen.
She tranformed her hallway from


This…

To This!

Janet did this entire project for $50! The detail in the trimwork and the carefully thought out placement of the frames and the crosses just gives this space an entirely new look.
Fabulous job Janet! To see more of this transformation hop over and pay a visit to
The Craiglist Queen!



Next up is Patty from Nuestras Aventuras en Texas.


She took an inexpensive Kitchen Pantry Door Rack and turned it into a
Gift Wrapping Station!

                   

Hung on the back of a closet door, everything can be neatly tucked away and out of sight. We think this was very clever of her and one of us plans to try this in our own home…
We’ll let you guess which one!
Check out more of Patty’s projects by visiting her at:
Nuestras Aventuras en Texas.


Now, normally we try and Feature Bloggers who are fairly new to our community, but we just could NOT stop talking about how fabulous this next entry was.

Amanda from House Revivals shared with us the Design Solutions she came up with for a lovely couple whom she now considers more friends than clients.
This is truly like taking a virtual tour of a remodel…before it has even been remodeled!
Her first recommendation was removing the entry closet which was not serving the family’s active lifestyle very well. This was the rendering she did of what would go in its place. Is this not incredible?


And here are just a couple of more snippets of how she cleverly redesigned these spaces to be not only more functional, but beautiful as well!


To see more of this project, head on over and visit Amanda at House Revivals.


Now, last but not least is Rebecca from You’re Talking Too Much.

We are pretty sure that, judging by the name of her blog, we must all be related somehow!
She named her Party Link: “Panels for Newbies”.
That seems innocent enough, right?
Nope!


It all started out as a dream, inspired by Miss Mustard Seed‘s wonderful tutorial on making curtain panels.



It quickly spiraled into a nightmare of extremely hilarious proportions which involved 
this…

(You know you are DYING to know what this is!)

And it also, sadly, involved some of this…

I’m pretty sure when the chili dog enters the picture you have entered a dark decorating place.
very, very dark!
You must go over and read this post for yourself to get the full impact of Rebecca’s humor, style (minus the chili dog), marvelous way with words and so much more!
 Pay her a visit at You’re Talking Too Much!

We can’t wait to be inspired!
