Inspiring Ideas

Considering all the inspiring ideas I see on other blogs and Pinterest, I thought I would start doing a (semi) regular series sharing ideas that inspire me.  Sometimes an easy recipe will get me in the kitchen.  Other times seeing someone transform a piece of furniture makes me want to run out the door to my local thrift store to search for the next great transformation.

Here’s some great inspiring ideas I found this week!

Fabric covered plywood from Now At Home Mom.  She took a piece of plywood, covered it with beautiful fabric and transformed it into a functional office pin board.

This is a low cost project that makes a big impact.  I’d LOVE to do this in my office to hang my calender, pictures, and important papers.  Now I just have to find the right fabric!

A long time ago I pinned this homemade dishwasher detergent idea from A Blossoming Life.  This week I finally got around to trying it!  My family usually uses the dishwasher once to twice a day so this is going to be a big money saver for us.  I’ve used it for a little bit now & had good results so far!

DIY Monogram Photo Art from Rain On A Tin Roof.

Jenna is full of awesome DIY decorating ideas.  She took regular wrapping paper, a frame and some photos and made this great wall art.  I have a slight {ahem} obsession with easy wall art.  Just look at my Pinterest boards and you’ll see.  This project definitely fits in with my obsession!

Tiny Sidekick recently gave this old chair a makeover that I LOVE!  There’s something I adore about how the grey fabric pops against the crisp white color on the frame.  I think I’m also getting a little obsessed with the color grey.

I hope these ideas have been as inspiring for you as they were for me.  I’d love to know:

• What type of ideas inspire you?
