~ Comment of the day ~

"What was your riskiest project to date?"

You know the ones I'm speaking of. The kind where you took some kind of risk where you had no idea if your idea was sound and sane?!? Then you proceeded to hold you breath while you hit post? But then you're glad you went for it because the response was actually favorable??? Please don't tell me I'm the only one that goes through this...

I'll admit I have a few that fall under this category. Ok, maybe everything I do. Keeps me young I guess. :)

But without a doubt, I had some of you GASPING wondering what in blazes I was thinking when I laid THIS down on my lawn. I even second guessed myself for awhile. BUT I knew with a pending deadline, I had to gitter done. So with the door from the burn pile and the gate from the dump, this pile of trash became...

my  White Trash Bedroom. Nearly every component was indeed created from trash. This little shabby ensemble still makes me smile every single day. :)

This room (like all my others) resulted in working around finds, as opposed to having a big pie in the sky plan. I save this and that and wait for the vision to hit.

Ok, and this was my 2nd riskiest. The hanger curtains. I remember hitting the post button around midnight and then tossing and turning. At one point I even went up to the computer to remove the post, but then decided, if you don't risk a little, you don't grow. The next AM I literally RAN to computer to see if everyone left funky town. You were all still here and with rave reviews to boot! Talk about losing it all to having it all back, eh?

OHH! AND care to check out risk #3?!?

Tune in Wed for the Workshop Series, Building your own Workshop -  Part 2 - Purging. Instead of a normal giveaway that day, I've made something for ALL of you. :) And yes, it's VERY risky. (another sleepless night here I come!)

 You're turn. :)

What is your riskiest DIY project to date?

Tell us about it in the comments! And the story behind it. Don't forget to include your url if you have it online so we can go take a peek. :)

But first, how about a little party present? :)

Meet Barbara Jean from Treasures from the Heart.

I snooped around in her archives and found this hot tip on how to create vintage looking buttons. There's a secret ingredient to this recipe you'll never guess. :)
