DIY Flower Box, 8 DIY Gift Ideas For Mom + Funtastic Friday 124

Welcome to Funtastic Friday #124!
We plant a food garden every year but, one thing I haven’t really ventured into as much is decorative plants and flowers. We have quite a few different perennials planted by the previous owners over 10 years ago and I can’t imagine not having them.

Seeing furniture transformations similar to what I have really helps me approach mine from a better place. The two shades of blue she used are my favorite.

Welcome to Funtastic Friday #122! I remember our wedding like it was yesterday. While it’s remembered by many as “The best wedding ever,” which I do agree with, I also remember thinking all I wanted to do was get married in our small backyard with a small group of close friends.

DIY Metal Side Table & 7 Lamp Makeovers + Funtastic Friday Link Party

Welcome to Funtastic Friday #121! This DIY side table has so much going on and is my favorite at this week’s party. It has an industrial styled look to it but, what you may not know just by looking at it, is that it’s a metal laundry basket flipped upside down with a wooden top added to it. I’ll never look at a laundry basket the same again. You should really check it out over at Wonderfully Made by Leslie!
