Hello hello and happy Friday! What are your plans friends? I’ve got my hands full of projects, finishing up the guest room and my friend’s dining room all in one week, so much to do, so little time. :) Today is another Friday edition of Best of the Blogosphere, and Amanda and I rounded up our favorite picks from across the web, enjoy!

  1. I look forward to popping over to taking a look at all of these features! Wonderful nursery for Joni’s nephew. Have a great weekend Kate.

  2. I love that irish nursery and I saw Jenny’s laundry room makeover and fell in love with it!

  3. This is a great post. I really like the boy’s nursery! The wall painting of my son’s room looks like that. After seeing this post, I am inspired to make some changes for the better. :-)

  4. I love the elegance on lay baby nursery. It is how I would love my babies nursery to look when I have my next child. I hope you don’t mind me borrowing a couple of ideas :-)

  5. Even though I am not a DIY girl, these projects still blow me away. That concrete counter Jenny did looks so good. And the Ikea sideboard? I don’t know why I haven’t gained the courage to take on a hack because the shape of Ikea’s furniture is SO good!
