SNS #11 highlights and a winner!


You guys blow me out of the water.  See for yourself what transpired during SNS #11.



Flea Market Trixie prints deep meaning messages on burlap. LOVE this.



Salvaged door shelves help enhance...



... this little number. LOVE it all, by The Painted Home.



Two old shirts or one new cool sweater? Blue Cricket Design shows you how.



Bi fold door art by You Git. Mandi is funny too. :)



Finally, a tutorial on how to create silhouette pictures from Treasured in my Heart. Don't you love how these are arranged?



And how unique are dog silhouettes?!? Design-Aholic does a brilliant job!



Sanctuary Art's eating area. The smallest changes bring the most pleasures!



I'm going over to Swan White Curtain's pad next Christmas. This gal is too fun to hang with so it seems!



All about the window that makes The Lemon Cottage crazy. I LOVE this post. :)



I'm in serious love with Treasures of the Heart's delicate nests!



Just a Thought brings you beautifully designed new cushions that bring this sofa back to life.



Old Post Road's outstanding 2009 list of accomplished projects. Don't you adore her hand painted illustrations?!?



Wanna build this beautiful Pottery Barn Knockoff? (by The 7 Daggetts)



Knock Off Wood creates easy to follow plans to do just that!  OHMYGOSH, Ana ROCKS.



Sometimes the smallest touches are the perfect ones. Livin' the Simple Life does it with stain rather than paint. Refreshing change!



Farm house track lighting, or brilliant? Continental Calliope, BOTH!





Mustard Seed Creations displays 2009's furniture befores and afters. These two will forevermore be my all time favs.

Ok, I need to stop or this page will NEVER load. :)

And, we also have a winner for one of








The winner is comment #3...



Ty Pennington. (kidding!)
Missy, from The Little Green Bean! 



Missy entered a really cool DIY project.



She installed some old hardware and doorknobs to newer french doors...



... and applied chalkboard paint to the glass panels, creating the most wonderful rustic and whimsical doorway ever!

And Missy chose Barbara Jean's...



#1 choice, the bird nest with lace and pearls on a black 5" tray. You lucky girl you! You have broken many hearts this fine Monday morning I'll have you know. :) I'll have Barbara Jean contact you.

And many thanks Barbara Jean, for sponsoring this party!

  2. You're right. Ana rocks!! Since building our Hyde coffee table, we have built a side table to match, and I'm hoping to get my husband to build me the console table, too! And of course, there are so many other plans on her site that I am dying to try.

    Thanks for mentioning me in your SNS highlights. Beth. :)
