BOTB 6.21.13 – Early Weekend Edition

By Kate Riley June 21, 2013

Hiya friends! Announcing a small scheduling switcheroo – this summer I’m committed to spending the weekend (mostly) offline so I’m moving ‘Best of the Blogosphere’ to every other Friday, rotating it with ‘Weekend Reading’ on opposite weeks, leaving you with a roundup of inspiration on Fridays. Enjoy these amazing spaces and projects in the continuing series highlighting the best we spy in DIY and design!

Matthew Mead worked his magic on a sweet girl’s room, take the full bedroom tour on his blog.

  1. That little folding chair is about the cutest thing! As soon as I get my big, serious projects done, I need to make some time for something purely for fun. I adore that!!

    Happy weekend – Shannon
