I’ve been out of the loop for a few days between traveling to Las Vegas with the family, enjoying the night life, hanging out with cousins, and working on the house here … forgetting a blog that needs attention. :)
This week, we’re replacing a shower door, building a fireplace mantel, and preparing bedrooms for future guests. All of that comes to a halt come Wednesday evening for more hours with friends and family. I just love Thanksgiving, that opportunity to pause and enjoy a day that’s all about food and family before the rapid pace of the Christmas season. Today it’s a belated version of ‘Best of the Blogosphere’ that’s long overdue. Here are the favorite projects spied across the internet to inspire you!

I love Daniel’s rustic bench fabricated with Target stool bases!

Thanks my “Centsational Girl” friends for the shout out! Happy Thanksgiving!
I am obsessed with your blogs. I look forward to reading your posts every morning. Let us not forget to give thanks to the One who truly gave us life everlasting, Jesus Christ. Have a blessed Thanksgiving day with your loved ones.
Thanks so much for the feature! Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
I LOVE that pantry! If only I had space and organizational skills like that.
Thanks for including my pantry among all these other great features! So much goodness in this post!
Such awesome ideas!
Thank you for featuring my faux birch logs. Depending on where you live – sometimes finding the real birch logs can be hard. These faux ones can be made out of pipe foam insulation as a good alternative to pool noodles.

Thank you for the great tips! I really liked the DIY snowglobe, will try to make one this weekend:)
Missed you, but blogging sometimes need to take a back seat to enjoying family and friends.
Always enjoy the BOTBs. Love Melissa’s pantry project – just sent her a note to tell her it’s become the inspiration for my laundry room wall of open shelving above the washer/dryer/sink.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
That sharpie rug DIY is genius, adore!
