ten things for thursday ... ♥



it's no secret that i love vintage
i love a certain kind of vintage though
everything is vintage now-adays
so i think we need to classify vintage in certain categories
my category is the pretty, pastel-ish, girly vintage
i think that's why i love vintage linens so much 
they combine my love of fabric & vintage all into one piece of soft flowery goodness
i have lots of vintage sheets wrapped on fabric boards in my studio
and i love love love finding new things to make with them!
here's 10 projects that i want to make.
like yesterday.
:)

oh, and guys!

Ruffled Duvet by Danielle @ Blessed Serendipity
so much work! but so worth it i'm sure :)





Yellow Maxi Dress from Running with Scissors
i was so excited to make this for me and my girls ... i actually bought the pattern last year
too many ideas ... not enough time




Fabric Covered Shelves from Emmmy Lizzzy
one crazy day i woke up with the idea to decoupage my pantry shelves 
with sewing pattern paper
i held up for a couple years, now... some of the edges are starting to show wear & tear
i think i want to wake up with this idea next ... heehee





Wrapped Wreath from In Color Order
this is at the top of my list! so pretty ♥






storage baskets from a pretty cool life
i couldn't find a how-to for these on the site, but she mentioned a tutorial was in the works!






vintage sheet wrap around labels ... {LBG STUDIO}
vintage sheets together with paper? doesn't get any better than this...







pretty file folders? yes please.
vintage sheet file folders from Design Sponge

foldermain




this is gorgeous & just so feminine ... wish i was better at sewing clothes for myself!







diy A-frame tent by Cakies
my girls would love this for summer time backyard fun
might be perfect for a daddy-daughter project? :)

the A-frame tent tutorial


now go thrifting! hit garage sales!
find yourself some of this goodness
(i'm so worried all the vintage sheets will be gone, and then what?)
(heehee :)
 much love and gladness in my heart

ten things for Thursday ... living room project ideas



i mentioned a few posts ago that we're working on some changes in our living room
(yes, we have a living room!)
(in all the hustle & bustle of my craft room being featured, many emails came my way about how i was lucky to have a hubby who would let me take our living space and turn it into a craft room!! 
and where did we sit to watch tv, or play games as a family??
i tried to stress that it was a formal living room that we converted!
heehee :)

over the course of the spring & summer i hope to work on a few projects for this room
we painted and did some pillow re-covering 2 years ago, 
but we moved on to other rooms in the house before i really worked on any of the details

so here's 10 projects i chose from my home board on Pinterest
 that i hope to incorporate in this room over the next few months :)
{click on the links below the images for original sources}



... i absolutely fell in love with these built-ins
we have the perfect blank wall, (on which the tv currently dwells) 
that would be perfect for this set-up!
...and those globes! swoooney...

... gets pretty chilly here in upstate NY
so blankets in our living room are a must
i have a bunch of pretty crocheted blankets 
that really should be on display instead of crumpled up in a basket! 
i love it when function & decorating come together with these types of ideas :)





... this bunting in Ashley Ann's playroom is just the cutest thing!
it's just perfect for this space ... must. do. this.




... pretty pops of color like this table, would be perfect on some end tables i have

recycled map table




... this family room is so happy and colorful
Meg Duerksen's mix of color & function makes this room a great place to spend time together
the chalkboard and the play table are perfect!

... curtains! these are stunning... the burlap gives it just that right amount of shabbiness





... thinking about a bunch of colorful pillows full of texture and funk :)





... three lamps are in our living room
would love to convert a couple with lampshades like these





... a rug is always a great way to add color, but they never seem to come cheap
i love this idea from Apartment Therapy... take a few inexpensive throw rugs and sew them together for a burst of color

... this free printable from not just a housewife says it all :)
print it. frame it. hang it. remember it.


lovin' this round-up ... makes me so excited to get working on this room!!
be back tomorrow with a quick post :) much love and gladness in my heart
