Pinterest Wrap Up

After Wednesdays Pinterest Challenge I’ve been sorting through the hundreds of Pinterest projects DIY’ers all over the globe created this week. There are so many talented people behind the pins on pinterest and many were inspired to get up off their behinds and create something beautiful. Many of the projects created from this challenge I’ve pinned myself, it really just inspires me so! Join me as I count down my favorites from ten all the way to number one from this months challenge!

  Pallet Art from Paint Stir Sticks by Kristen from Turning a House into a Home

“All summer I kept noticing fabulous art created by pallets people were finding. After staining then and painting quotes or silhouettes, those free pieces of wood became beautiful.”

-Kristen

  Paint Chip Art by the Great Indoors

I loved this take on it, it’s one that I haven’t seen before.

“This time around, I decided to finally do something about the paint chip ideas I’d had stirring in my head.  (No pun intended…)”

-The Great Indoors

  Homemade Console Table by Brianna from Budget Bungalow

“I knew that I could build a table for much less than $2,428 and boy was I right. ”

-Brianna

  Eraser Monogram by Rebecca from The Lil House That Could

“And I had a light bulb moment… why don’t I make a monogram using pencil erasers as stamps? That way it’s entirely different, but bringing together two Pinterest projects! So that’s what I decided to do”

-Rebecca

  DIY Thermostat Frame and Chalkboard by Addison from Changing My Destiny

“For this challenge, I wanted to frame the thermostat in a way that would make it a second thought. I wanted to create something that would be beautiful on it’s own and not just highlight thermostat. So I decided to turn my Thermostat into the artwork.”

-Addison

  A Masterpiece by Jenna from Delighting in Today

“While I’ve been thinking about adding some “real” artwork to our home, that’s not really in the budget right now.

So instead, I did a little knock off. Granted, it’s not as gorgeous as the gorg artwork done by the real artists, but I do like how it turned out!”

-Jenna

  Painted Shower Curtain by Debbie from Refresh Restyle

“Recently I painted several rooms OC-48 Hazy Skies by Benjamin Moore.  I am in love with that color.  One of the rooms is a downstairs bathroom. You know how one things leads to another,  I needed a new shower curtain.”

-Debbie

Reclaimed Door Coffee Table by Brooke from Killer B Design

“This table is seriously large and in charge! It’s so much more spacious than our last one, which is kind of a catch 22. Extra space is great, but it’s already turned into a bit of a dumping ground”

-Brooke

  Upcycled Lamp by Emily from Merrypad

“Now that the lamp components have been laying around for 3 months, I decided to forge ahead with a new DIY’ed lamp shade, and thought the cardboard and plywood design might complement it. After all, if it didn’t work, it’s easy enough to buy or make something new.”

-Emily

  Book page wreath by Katie from The Ford Home

“I’m so excited I finally finished a craft project! Thank goodness for the Pinterest Challenge! A friend of mine sent me this tutorial last year and I’ve been meaning to do it ever since.”

-Katie

(Hey Katie, did you get your curtains from World Market? I have that fabric on a pillow from there!)

I hope you all had as good a time going through these projects as I did. Check out my own pinterest board here. What? You think it’s a coincidence that I chose some project that I know I’ve pinned with the intention of recreating myself? Ahh, I can’t wait till next time! Have a great weekend all, I’m headed to Austin today for some much needed vacation! See you all Monday!
