BOTB 6.3.11

By Kate Riley July 3, 2011

Hello and happy Sunday on this long weekend!  I’m back, bringing you another round of great projects found online in our continuing ‘Best of the Blogosphere’ series. 

Sorry if you missed it last weekend, I was on the road so I took a week off, but now the series is back with more good stuff ~ I teamed up with Abi to round up some inspiring finds, hope you enjoy them! 

This outdoor lantern was made with a . . . tuna can!   Get out!  Ingenuity at its best by Diane at In My Own Style

A farmhouse table gets a great makeover by Jaime Lyn at Crafty, Scrappy, Happy, she’s mighty proud of the result now on display in her dining room, and she should be!

We’re loving this chalk painted box by Blue Roof Cabin, and that ‘Chateau de Charli’ design was done with a transfer method, bravo Mimi!

Be sure to bookmark this project by Christy at Beach Brights (found via Style Your Life).  These black wellies were dolled up with bows thanks to a clever installation of simple grommets.

Ever heard of Providenciales?  It’s an island in the Caribbean where Emily honeymooned last year, so she created this little work of art to commemorate.  So romantic, and such a great idea!

Hey moms, here’s a clever organizational tool.  How about a library book holder with a chalkboard due date reminder?  A great idea by Sew Rebecca Sew!

If you’re a fan of chevron, then you’re sure to love this painted disposal can by Becki of Infarrantly Creative, this is such a great result!

What is summer without ice cream?  Don’t miss this blueberry vanilla bean treat shared by Ez of Creature Comforts earlier this week, yum!
