by 20 Comments

I am actually sad to see this week come to an end. I have loved featuring all of these five minute projects. That amount of time is all I seem to have these days between two toddlers and the wrapping up of the school year. Thanks for joining us this week. I hope you have found some inspiration. And who knows. Maybe you have already pulled off a couple of these ideas.  We are wrapping it up with thee fantastic ladies. Idea #1:  Vintage Art  Rene, from Cottage & Vine, is one of the sweetest gals around. Honestly. And she done such a fantastic job with her kitchen and dining room. This idea is simple and quick! For custom art, she used Vintage Printable. After selecting your artwork, you simply print and frame! That is my kind of artwork. And look at the gorgeous effect. image I did something similar in our dining room using this site. Nothing better than printing the art and framing it all within five minutes. IMG_0441 Idea #2:  Hiding Wires {genius} Faith First of all, can we talk about how darling Paige’s blog banner is? I LOVE IT!!! I am so in love with this next idea because it’s so darn simple and I really needed this for a hallway console table I have. Do you have any wires that look like this? Photobucket Well, my girl Paige didn’t let the wires win. She simply used a 3M hook and . . . Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket . . . those pesky wires are GONE!!!! BRILLIANT. Thanks, Paige. Idea #3:  Painted Ikea Mirrors Ten June Michelle is full of such great ideas that I invited her back today to share her Ikea mirrors with you. Not only are they adorable, but I love the way her whole space was transformed. Take a look: She started with this staircase leading down to her basement {so jealous by the way}: She took these Ikea mirrors and gave them a coat of primer and white spray paint. With the addition of command hooks, she created this! I just love how the white pops off of the blue! Great job, Michelle. You can read more about it here. …………………………………………………………………… And a great big hug and and huge thanks to all of the bloggers who took the time to share with us their creative and inspiring projects! I hope you found something you are ready to tackle. Have a great weekend, everyone. I will see you when I get back from Charleston!
