"Hey, Hey, Hey!" - in my Fat Albert voice.  How the heck are you? Here are some things that have caught my eye lately. 1) Have you seen this gorgeous privacy wall over at Table + Hearth? 2) I'm loving this bonus room makeover from Hi Sugarplum.  We started on our loft area upstairs and stopped.  Time to jump back on it, I know. 3) I keep saying to myself I want to re-paint our master bathroom but after seeing this one from Soul Interior Designs, I may have changed my mind.  The color is very similar to ours yet looks so elegant in this space. 4) I re ally like the molding and deta il in th is entryway makeover from Provident Home Design. 5) Has anybody sco o ped up any pieces from the Marimekko collection at Target? I haven't seen them in person but I really like the bright color s of the patio accessories . Enjoy your week end and I'll see you back here next week!   You're reading Friday Five by Andr...

Here are some things that caught my eye l ately . 1) Katie over at Bower Power Blog made some photo frames out of MDF.  They look great in her boys' playroom. 2) I recently started following Fearfully & Wonderfully Made.  Carli has a beautiful home.  She just shared befores and afters of how far her kitchen has come and one of the projects she did was adding faux crown molding on the upper cabinets. 3) Have you seen Emily's black sitting room ?  Oh my goodness.  It's gorgeous.  I never thought I would like black walls but it looks great in her home.   4) I've really noticed the rising of arrows in home decor.  These large wooden arrows from Two Thirty Five Designs look great in this girl's room. 5) I've started following Create Cra...

Spring has sprung and it's time to get the home decor in order.  When I think of spring, I think bright colors.  Here's a little inspiration to get your juices flowing. 1) Create a spring wreath - give your guests a nice greeting before entering your home. 2) Change your bed linens - with warmer weather it's time to get rid of the heavy comforters and go with a lighter option . 3) Bring in greenery - add those pops of green throughout the house to bring the outdoors in. 4) Change out your pillows - they instantly change the look of your room. 5) Create a succulent garden - these mini little plants bring color and more of nature indoors. 6) Add bright colors - switch out the darker colors for lighter pastels . 7) Change your wall decor - add more colors to the walls . 8) Fresh flowers - nothing says fresh and new like freshly picked flowers on the table. 9) Swap out your rug - just like pillow...

On Monday I showed you the plans for my daughter's room makeover.  For her desk area, she wanted a place to hang her artwork and the little notes that she writes.  I decided a pinboard was the perfect solution.  We both really like this pink polka dot one from PB Teen but $89 is a lot for me to swallow.  Nothing like a good 'ole DIY project to the rescue. I picked up a large pinboard from Goodwill for a few bucks. I originally wanted to paint the frame white but decided to just cover the whole thing with fabric.  I picked up some pink printed fabric from Hobby Lobby.  To start, I laid the fabric over the board and centered it.  I tried to line up the fabric along the edges as best as I could to keep the pattern straight. I used silver push pins around the edges to create a nail head look. I spaced the pins an inch apart using a yard stick.  Pushing in ALL.THOSE.PINS took the longest.  I would push one in only ...
