Pinterest #34

It's Friiiidaaaaaay! And there's more cause for excitement than usual because my sister is coming to visit! She's going to see the house, we're going to eat most of our meals in restaurants, and we might do some antiquing. But in the meantime, let me put off cleaning the house some more so I can show you my Pinterest Picks.

I actually pinned these on two separate occasions, so that must mean they're extra cool. Printable letters for making your own typography artwork:


When I do shows, I just stack my business cards on the table. Maybe I should get something cute like this to corral them, while also making them stand out:


Pretty lace dress alert! You can never look at too many of these, as far as I'm concerned:


Here's a fun idea for making over basic cardboard letters from the craft store. I've had one of these sitting around naked in my studio forever, and now I have a plan for it:


And finally, how about this '90s blonde oak transformation? This tutorial does require a long drying time, but you don't have to sand off all of the finish before you stain, so I'd say it's a trade-off. Either way, great results:


What are you up to this weekend? Anybody else having an out-of-town visitor?

Are you on Pinterest? Let's jam. You can follow my boards right here.
