Stenciled curtains are on my to-do list for my office.  I'm so happy at Ray from First Home Makeover did them first.  Now I have helpful tips and inspiration!  Love these:


Unbelievable transformation from La Maison La Fortune!

This note from Ashley made me smile:
HI! My name is Ashley and I just wanted to submit a recent DIY project I did! I am also a brand new blogger and you can visit my blog at

I was super excited to do this project as it was something I had never done before. I made this ottoman from scratch, from buying the wood, foam, batting, and fabric to putting the whole thing together....as it was my design I didn't have a pattern for the fabric on the top so that took a little while to figure out how I wanted it to look. I also hand painted the legs! Thats probably my favorite part about the piece! I hope you all like it!
 
She made this from scratch?! I love it, Ashley!
 
 
Contact paper doesn't come in much of a selection.  I love this idea from Tisa.  For $8.86 she gave her cabinets a custom look with scrapbook paper and spray adhesive.
