I was researching do-able DIY projects for this weekend (the 1st weekend in months that I have at least 1 day to myself). I fell into the black hole of blogs for 2 hours an undisclosed length of time. I’m not sure if I could round-up the resources for this weekend, but this project I stumbled upon has got me thinking.
They took this thrift store desk
and turned it into this
See the whole how-to post here.
I’ll definitely be doing this project in the next few weeks. It’s a pelmet. Super easy, and looks very neat and tidy.
Then I found my first project to tackle for the summer. I literally gasped then squealed out loud when I saw this one.
I was over at Ikeahackers and peeped this.
This lucky girl got her boyfriend to dream up a shoe closet for her. They used a bookcase with an extension piece for the top, and added a thin bookcase for the side. Seriously, I die. Easy, do-able, functional, and GAH! Look at it!! See the link here.
What are your fave DIY dream projects? What do-it-yourself home imprivements do you plan on tackling soon? Post up the link in your comment 😀 Inspire me!

Wow! Those are great. I’m on a quest to redo a coffee table. I’m not exactly sure what i’m looking to do so I’m just in the process of looking around for ideas.
