SNS #16 brings you - Rusted Chain glamour!




Intro

Welcome to Saturday Nite Special #16!

If you're new here, kick off your shoes and join in! The theme is always a  DIY themed anything goes, so feel free to post your project, past or present that you're proud of so we can clap along with you!

Party starts at Fri night and ends Sunday 11pm, so you have all weekend to join.

I LOVE to highlight inspiring posts during the event on the sidebar, so make sure you check in several times over the weekend. You may be next. :)

Highlight from SNS #15

To revv this party up, I'm going to show you one highlight from SNS #15 that really caught my eye. (please check the sidebar during an SNS event for many other highlights that will pop up!)



This is an old dresser that A little bit of Sanity revamped into a kitchen island. Look at the lines on this piece! The top is a ready made butcher block piece from Ikea, costing only $39! The entire island cost under $60 to make. I think the idea and end result is absolutely stunning.

If I ever redo a kitchen again, I'll do something along the lines of using a real furniture piece as opposed to stock cabinets for the island. Why try to simulate a piece of furniture when you can have the real thing?!? Well done, Kirsty!

Blah blah rules for the SNS linkup:

1. Please link up your intended  post, NOT your blog. (post, then click on title of your post, cut and paste that url)

2. Please put a link in your post that leads back to the party so others can see what's up! (scroll button on sidebar if you wish)

3. I've allowed 75 characters in the link title area, so go ahead and tell us you blog name AND project description. Go ahead. There's room. :)

*4. This party is geared for *DIY type projects we can all attempt to make ourselves. Items for sale may be linked up IF your entry is posted on your blog and in tutorial style (unless making the item is self explanatory).

 

Good luck, and happy weekend inspiration to all. :)

  5. The Rusted Chain's work is wonderful ... thank you so much for the generous support for this bog and Haiti.

    My favourite must be blessed too (although it was hard to choose between bloom, joy and bliss as well).

    I can see myself coming back for a few more for gifts.

    Thanks again.

  6. I found your blog, tonite, by following a link from My Romantic Home. I LOVE your bedroom.

    The necklaces are so sweet. Since I'm retiring in June, after 34 years as a special education teacher, I like the "Life is Sweet" necklace.

  75. I gasped when i saw the "Create Dream Inspire" necklace. It is perfect for my soon to be daughter-in-law. She just graduated as an Art teacher (Create), just got her first official placement teaching (Inspire) and Dream...well they are about to embark on what I hope will be a DREAM come true life together. Could it be any more perfect as a gift for her?
