Crikey, it’s May can you believe it? Time is a flyin’ by !! Amanda is back to team up with me for our best picks in our continuing ‘Best of the Blogosphere’ series. Let’s take a peek at some exceptional creations happening in homes across the land.
A bare wall in Liz Marie’s kitchen now showcases her plate art, complete with a charming yellow bench and turquoise china cabinet, lovely!
Melissa’s Putting it All Together series at 320 Sycamore offers a realistic, detailed guide to creating the perfect room you will love.
Kimba walks us through her extremely helpful step by step in transforming this beautiful armoire at A Soft Place to Land.
A very clever use of trim in Emily’s living room allowed her to paint one story instead of two. We’re loving the custom book shelves over at Jones Design Company!
Aaron used a glass jug to create a Pottery Barn inspired lamp. See how you can recreate the look at The Thrifty Abode.
Let there be {more} light! Turn a tripod into a lamp with Kristine at The Painted Hive.
Stacy proves less is more in her living room makeover at Red Door Home. Definitely fresher and brighter with her homemade panels.
Sew your own beautiful wristlet keychain with Amy at The Idea Room (via Infarrantly Creative).
Loving Ashley’s thought process of when to create something yourself, buy a cheaper knock off, or invest in the real deal over at The Handmade Home.

How do you feel about using old books to make planters for succulents? Cool or cruel?
