Greetings all, happy holiday weekend. Amanda and I rounded up a few fun links for you this weekend for the ‘Best of the Blogosphere’ series, we hope you enjoy!
Don’t miss the ‘jungle greenhouse’ over at Meadowbrook Farm, filled with geraniums, petunias, zinnias, and daisies. It’s pure gardener heaven.
Make a DIY wood pennant with Man Made DIY, a definite upgrade from ordinary felt, Chris shows you how.
A formerly outdated kitchen has a sophisticated new look at This Bliss Life. We’re loving that backsplash and those quartz countertops!
What was once a dull, bare deck is now a shaded retreat. With two trellises and some hanging planters, Carrie created a DIY herb wall showcased at Making Lemonade.
Jen from Tatertots and Jello turned a vintage thrift store lunchbox into a Family Summer Bucket List. She includes colorful printables and fun activity ideas to make your summer survival possible (via guest post for Positively Splendid).
We love a great Before and After! You’ll love Rhoda’s redesign of her parents’ covered porch. See the transformation at Southern Hospitality.
A $1 garage sale clutch gets a bold new summer look, you must see the Before! That’s one fantastic makeover by Scissors and Spatulas.
Linda from Lime in the Coconut has a gorgeous bathroom and it just appeared in the latest Better Homes & Gardens Kitchen + Bath Makeover edition, hop over to congratulate her!
Need a little extra confidence from scripture as you walk each day? Try this inspiring idea for standing on the truth via Simply Seleta.

Thank you Amanda for helping me round up these inspiring finds!
Wishing you all a fantastic weekend, and feeling immense gratitude to our military and fallen soldiers. We live in this free nation because of your bravery and sacrifice. May we always remember.

I love each and every one of these ideas. So thrilled to see Jen’s Family Summer Bucket List featured!
Oh, Kate. Now you did it. I was thinking at the beginning of this post that I would spend a few minutes perusing around each blog, nice and easy. Well, I just spent the last hour(!) at Meadowbrook Farm and am heading back there now. I am hooked. Hooked something awful (as my Texan grandma would say). I live at nearly mile high elevation in the Sierras and to see what she can accomplish with weather even more harsh than mine is so inspiring I let out a little squeal. Thank you (or maybe not) for introducing me to one of my new all time favorites.
great round up of interesting topics — i’m off to check out the blogs you mentioned!
Oh how fun to have my greenhouse featured here! It’s been great to meet so many of your wonderful readers. Thank you so much for the blog love! Now I’m going to keep myself busy for the rest of the night checking out the rest of your amazing list.
Great list, clicking over right now to see more about some of these projects!
LOVE the herb planter trellis! I’ve been planning to do something similar, so it’s great to see a new idea!!!
I love love love the trellis project, and that greenhouse…is there a vacancy?

i love the greenhouse, and that kitchen is to die for! i’m really obsessed with that seafoam color right now.
