Five Favorites

There are so, so, SO many amazing projects and ideas floating around in blogland and my to-do list is never-ending. I'm always stunned by all the creativity and talent out there! Here are my five favorite things I found this week:

You need to look at the before picture to fully appreciate this one--Lindsay (who I so wish was my new best friend . . . imagine a thrift shopping trip with this lady!) found one of those big, bulky, dark, behemoth dressers (for $20!) and transformed it into a light, cheerful, gorgeous piece. Incredible!

No lie--I had an idea for this belt a few weeks ago (but in crochet) and wondered how the heck to make that knot . . . but here it is! And way better than I had pictured it, too. I love the stripe of white rope through the middle--amazing! Imagine this over a polka dot dress . . . I'm dying!

You know I love me a good knockoff, and Dorian (awesome name, right?!) totally nailed this one. Bonus: she used the shirt's long sleeves to make the ruffles--great way to get rid of some of those winter tops you're not going to wear anymore! I love it!

We can agree that we're all completely in love with chevron right now, correct? I love this table runner that Jessa made . . . she started with just a simple burlap runner from Target and painted it to create this gorgeous little accent. It adds so much trendy spice to her table, don't you think? I want to make one, too!

Does looking at that picture strike you speechless? Me too. Almost. I'll fight through it. This . . . is . . . unreal. Michelle and Nate built this gorgeous headboard and I can hardly believe how amazing it looks. Maybe you've seen it before? It started out on their blog. Then I saw it over on Apartment Therapy. And then, there it was over on Knockoff Decor! Clearly this headboard is a winner, and they get bonus points for being from Iowa, too!

Good job, you five, for being my all-stars of the week and making me totally jealous of your creativity! Grab a feature button to show off your awesomeness if you feel so inclined:
