thanks for saving me so much time!
Yay! This should be so much fun! I'm so glad to meet another gal who doesn't mind "winging it" once in a while :). Your blog is very inspiring, and I love to see your new ideas!
Can't wait to see everyone's mistreatments! Thank you so much for ALL of your inspiration you provide.
Oh my gosh I thought I was editing my name and I got signed up again! How do I take one off????
Yahoo! here we go!!!
I can't wait to see all the wonderful mistreatments. Thanks for hosting this great party Nester!!
This should be very, very interesting! I do hope to get some inspiring ideas! Can't wait for the fun to begin!
Blessings, Debbie
Thanks Nester! I've now turned into a fabricaholic, as well..... I've become obsessed with the remnant bin since I realize what nifty window treatments you can whip up. I can sew, but I've always been a "make it today, wear it tomorrow" kind of girl. Thanks for saving me some grief!
Steph
This is so fun to see what all you amazing ladies have done with your mistreatments... I'm very inspired and hope to participate in the next big party! ;-)
Jenni
Yipee...such fun to be had for all, and it's FREE!!!:)

Oh Miss Nester, I have a mistreatment to share, but I just got home from vaca and won't have my post ready until tomorrow night. Hope I can still play along!
oh yeah I'm in with Jen, what kinda free fun is this!!!
I'm looking forward to sitting with my laptop tonight, a nice little drink and perusing all these lovely blog gals to find some inspiration
I have about a million undressed, ugly windows in this cottage so I've got lots of scope to use all the ideas
love all the inspiration here
(hangs head in shame)--Oh Nester, I wanted to get in on this SOOO badly, but the room where my mistreatment is is the one room I'm in the middle of painting right now. It does NOT look currently attractive. Wanted to finish on Saturday, but got caught out in my yard instead. SIGH!
I can't wait to take the tour-o-mistreatments and drool though :)!
Already saw Kimba's---WOW!
Great luck to you and your Linky experiment!
This is my first time here. What a cute carnival! I will definitely be back!
I linked! I can't wait to see everyone's mistreatments. :o)
Okay, mine are not finished!!! I have all of the pretty fringe to glue on (and about 200 glue sticks) but, I recently strained my pesky back and the thought of climbing makes me shudder. I had actually posted this a few days prior to reading that you would be hosting this little party!! Thanks so much for being SUCH an inspiration to all of us!! I'm so addicted to your blog.....
I was inspired by your blog and mistreatments and blogged my version a few weeks ago. Thanks!
I tried mistreating once...it was ugly, lol. But maybe if I read all of these posts today I will get inspired to try it once more :)
I feel so left out since I couldn't post a mistreatment blog today...waaa! lol But I did post a chicken and sweet potato recipe ;)
Love your blog :)
Bella
What a fun party! Thanks Nester!!
~Heather
Looking at these will be a lot of fun! I had a good time doing mine as simple as it is.
I messed up my first link-never done this before! How to delete?
I've been thinking about this all weekend and really wanted to play...but the two mistreatments I have in my house were pretty much done by you, so...I kind of felt like a cheater.
Maybe next time. Can't wait to check out the others, though.
Thanks for hosting this! So fun!
Looking forward to lots of good ideas! Thanks for hosting!
I have been ridiculously excited about this post and all the fun ideas we are going to share.
I'm off to the list of mistreatments ... do I really have to feed my children, or can I just scroll all morning?
This is fun! Thanks Nester!
Yes, your sister did take pictures at my wedding. She definitely saved my wedding album. The formal pictures weren't exactly my style, so I was thrilled to find out that Emily had 500 shots! I love them! Thanks for stopping by the blog and for the mistreatment ideas!
Just thought I'd join the fun! Thanks for the great ideas!
its very interesting to see everyones ideas. Ya know Nester...what would finish this off in a huge way is to pick a winner of who did the best at executing it as closely as you would have and documented how they did it. Just an idea.
Love your blog and how you have rallied everyone to work harder on their homes. The home is CRITICAL!! I have a sm. home that I didnt even pick but I work very hard on it. When folks come in and act impressed it makes my heart sing.
pick a winner? or winners? like that, traci! I mean, everyone's a winner but how fun to highlight a few of my favorites!
if I get really motivated i might just do that!
While I really like my window treatments to be sewed & on rods, I did recently do a little mistreatment in my master bath, with a fabric valance, covered buttons, and put up with tacks. Not much room for a rod, so this did just fine. I know I'll enjoy looking at all the creative ideas that all these girls have come up with.
You started the craze! And lots have obviously followed. We all want our homes to be beautiful, no matter the size or shape of them. Fun party! Mr. Linky is the best, I used him a couple of weeks ago for my party.
Rhoda
That little dodad for adding our links is amazing! So quick and easy. Thanks for letting me join your party and show everyone my simple mistreatments...They are nothing great but they make my home feel better than having nothing!
Just bought the HANNAH tassel for someone special! Thanks Nester, I can't wait until she receives it.
Hey there Miss Nester! I'm SO thrilled for this get-together...ahhh, perfect day for MIL to visit and allow me alone time to have a latte (decaf, preggo lady reporting) and peruse all of the great ideas. Oh wait, I'm supposed to be packing us all up for vacation tonight...suitcases or mistreatments, suitcases or mistreatments. It's a clear winner...at least for a couple of hours. :o)
:) Hi! I wanted to let ya know about the giveaway I have going on! Be sure to sign up!!
I left a child's room mistreatment post--thanks for doing this.
Thanks for the great party. I can't wait to go see everyones mistreatments. Thanks for all the wonderful idea's. Your blog is incredible and inspiring.
Thank you for giving me a pass! It's my first time. {blush}I'll be better next time!
Fun! Thanks for the great ideas!
Thanks for doing this! I sorta messed up my linky-thingy, but then, that's me!
Will you be doing this again soon? I want a chance to get it right!
ooooo I am so excited! My 1st mis-treatment post!!! woo-hoo!!!! Cant wait to sit down with my cup of tea and see all the good stuff!
This is such a great idea! I can't wait to look at all of these~thanks for hosting :)
Thanks for the ideas. I posted some mistreatments that I hadn't thought about before. Can't wait to see what everyone else posts. Thanks so much for doing this.
WOOT WOOT!! I finally mistreated my windows!! Thank you SO MUCH for your inspiration!!
There are pics on my blog!
http://theviewfrommylens.blogspot.com/
I've been waiting for this! I love looking at everyone else's ideas and getting more inspiration. Thank you!
Wow! You've obviously inspired so many. Not everyone can afford expensive window treatments & thanks to your inspiration others can get that look for less!
I don't have any window mistreatments to share, unless using rubberbands to hold it in place counts, but I did make a beautiful swag & have it on my blog post 'Christening' Come take a look, DebraK
I couldn't be happier with my curtains. I finished them about a month ago and have been waiting for the perfect forum to share them with the world! Thanks for the inspiration to create and the opportunity to share!
Ooh, this is so fun! I love seeing everybody's cute mistreatments.
Hooray, Nester! I'm so glad that you're the Hostess with the Mostess of this party, because I've gleaned a bunch of great ideas already from it. :o) Thanks for doing this - and I did make sure to include my Mr. Linky (I almost popped off without it, LOL). You're a peach!
I love all the ideas. I don't have pics of my mistreatments over the years but I put your link on my blog. There are just too many wonderful ideas over here to keep to myself!
Can't wait to check out everyone's mistreatments!
What fun! I am having so much fun! I guess I will need to step away from the computer soon and feed my kids! Ya think?
Thanks for doing this and sharing your decorating gifts.
Can't wait to see everyone else's mistreatments!!
Yay! I wasn't sure I was going to be able to participate today (darn Mastitis), but here I am! Once my hubby comes home tonight, I'll scroll through and comment on all your lovely mistreatments. I can't wait!!!
Thanks for the time saving tips! LOVE your blog!
Im just AMAZED at how many have taken on this fun challenge and posted!!! I thought maybe 30-50...how cool.
Im telling you Nester, you have a big following!!
We need to print of Nester for President buttons..lol

I know I have said this before, but I just love you! You have so inspired me! I know the nation of bloggers are singing your praises, so I know I may sound generic in saying so...but thanks for all your inspiration! And of course, the party!
Fabric is my weakness. Draperies, coverlets, chair cushions everywhere. Thanks for the inspiration to place my window treatments out there. Can't wait to see everyone else's.
Connie@laughterbylakeside.blogspot.com Check out #50!
Sorry, I meant to tell everyone that I am #49 but #50 is also very inspiring.
~Connie@laughterbylakeside.blogspot.com
I love your blog! I go to it several times a day to see if you have posted anything new. I don't have any mistreatments (Yet!) But my post today is about your post today! (Does that make sense?)
Shannon @ Treasures From Home
I love your blog! My mother used to have an Interior Design business in Pennsylvania called "Cindra's Feathered Nest" and she was a very successful woman! Keep all of your creative ideas coming!
How AWESOME that you have inspired so many people to make their homes prettier! That should make you so happy!
This is fun! You sure have inspired all of us!
What talent! Ya'll are sew creative. I am looking to do a mistreatment for my two boys rooms and cannot find anything approp! I was thinking of sewing unused neckties together for a valance type, but cant seem to get my mind around it. Any suggestions?
Nester, Of course you can just get whatever you want! Let me know when you want a title and I'll do one up (free!). I love making these - it's a great way to avoid doing less important things - like housework! Nancy
I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy! What a wonderful group of mistreaters!!
Nester~ I would love to join the party...but I'm embarassed to say...I don't know how to link...:( I know...You don't have to say it...I do have a little mistreating going on @ the Screaming Meme house....I'll show you the pics later...Love seeing all the mistreatments~ Love,Meme
Man, when you have a blog party, you go all out! I always feel compelled to comment on everyone else who is participating when I do one of these things...but this is a big list! I'm up to 101 blogs...and I'm sure there will be more.
~ Sarah
Thanks for the Plantation Shutters Idea. We looked into them the first summer we were in our home (7 years ago) and could not afford them. Since then we've added 2 more boys and 2 dogs to the mix. Throw in an 8 month job layoff and they were just not on the list of things to buy. We are debt snowballing right now (with gazelle intensity) and so far have eliminated one whole student loan! I feel like I can see a day when custom shutters will be a reality. Thanks for the inspiration. God Bless - Kristi
I posted my mistreatment! This is so much fun!!!!
This was fun. You know you can mistreat clothes too. I went to my prom with duct tape holding up my hem. Just sayin...Mimi Sue
Just wanted to say I am having so much fun scrolling through blogs today. I also loved having visitors to my blog. Thanks for hosting the club today!

What an amazing idea! I've been inspired!
This is so much fun! I'm having so much fun checking out everyone's links and getting inspiration for my next mistreatment!
I wish my mistreatments were as beautiful as YOURS!!!
Can I just tell you what an idiot I am? I kept checking in all day for all the links to other's mistreatments. I kept only seeing Nancy's at the top and was feeling so bad for you that this blog party was a flop. Well, I AM THE FLOP! I didn't scroll down. Duh. AND, my camera is enroute to Sony for repair so I couldn't take any pictures. I'll participate in the next party. This was a HUGE success and I am enjoying the mistreatments of all that participated.
Wow! I wish I had done some mistreatments but I have REALLY enjoyed looking at all of your ideas and great window treatments, pillows etc.
Thanks...Deb at www.shellinyourpocket.blogspot.com
It took me a few trial runs of sitting in front of the computer until I could get enough alone time to get this posted. Anyhow, with baby underarms I can say it's done... well there will be more later this week... thanks for the inspiration girlies!!

Hi Neter!
I love all your ideas and am catching visions for each non-treated room in my house (that would make all but 1 room!!) aah!
All my mistreatments were before I started bloggging and found your blog. I love how you mis-treat and I'd like to change mine. You find such wonderful material. I love the colors and patterns you use. Thanks for inviting us to the party.
Lets just say that my kids are going to ignored this evening! Oh well-they get attention every other day!

While I can't claim a window "mistreatment" I did mistreat my husband's shower curtain!
Judy
Thanks, Nester! I am loving checking out all of the mistreatments. You are such an inspiration.

I'm an idiot! The message from LaVerne is from me (about the banner) I was doing a blog makeover for her birthday and forgot to sign out of her account!
:>| Nancy
i'm squeaking one it on the fly, b/c i have to be a part of this!
This was fun! I'm such an amateur. But I really liked making my window shade - thanks for the inspiration! It's the start of a whole new life of window mistreatments for me!
What a fantastic party this has been! I was so excited all weekend and it did not disappoint! I've been blown away by the creative mistreatments that your readers have put together. It's going to take me two more days to finish looking at everyone's posts.
Girl, you have started a revolution! Love it!!!!
Check out my little girl's curtains. Store bought+hot glue+fringe=bargain!
Hey! I love it! Do you have to have a blog to sign up? Julie

My first window mistreatment! It took less than 10 minutes. Thank you for saving me time and money with your great ideas!
So....I got very little painting done today...just had to look at everyone's mistreatments! What a fun party!
Thanks for the partay! It was nice hearing from others and seeing all the serious mistreating going on! Thanks for your kind words too:) I am a little obsessed with this though & it's all your fault. Today my son Jaxon asked to see your picture, this was his response.
"The Nesters like a legend isn't she? Mmh, I thought she'd look British with glasses like the Nanny 911 lady." OK so I'd better stop with the mistreating for a while!
Hi Nester!
Just wanted to say, "Hello" again and to let you know that I have been following your blog but hadn't left a comment in awhile as my mom has been hospitalized. I'm an only child and so living long distance when a family member has a terminal diagnosis is difficult. Anyway, just wanted to share that I love your ideas and have even tried a few!
I'll be back soon!
Thanks for sharing your talents with your many readers and blog friends!
SMILES!!!
Denise
I finally got my mistreatment post up, so I'm here for the party! Thanks for hosting Nester!
Thanks for creating all of this fun!

such a great idea nester!!! :) I cant wait to check out everyones goods........
kyley
THANK YOU NESTER! If you weren't so far away I'd kiss you.
I HAVE RECEIVED 1,000 HITS since yesterday and I am literally jumping up and down! YAHOOOOO! Can you tell I'm excited.
I can tell people visit but very few leave comments:( and I'm not sure why. Any suggestions, because a southern girl craves the comments.
Thanks from one lazy perfectionist to another.
~Connie@laughterbylakeside.blogspot.com
I'm SO excited to check out everyone's work! I haven't done any real recent mistreatments b/c my fam (mom & dad, sis and her hubby) are ALL HERE visiting us and Alaska! We've been doing all the fun touristy things, so I totally missed yesterday. So glad I get a second chance!
Hi Nester,
I wanted to say thanks for the blog party. I got over a 1,000 hits yesterday and the most comments EVER!You rock girl!
Brandee :-)
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I've got so many ideas now for mistreating my windows!!!! I'll post when I get it done.
Thank you so much for all the great ideas!! I loved seeing everyones wonderful ideas!
I hope I'm not too late to play. I can't wait to check out everyone's mistreatments.
I went on vacation for a few days...and loooookeee what awesomeness you did !!!! What an UBER cool idea...and a GREAT way to blurf tons of inspiration!!TFS!!
I am sooo glad I found other people who do not like to sew! Of course, my sewing machine's possessed I believe!
Thanks for the ideas!
Wow, so impressed by everyone's efforts *hiding behind my couch so you won't ask me where my mistreatments are...* on the mistreatment revolution!
I took a photo in NYC that I wanted to share with you, but I couldn't find your "contact me" link. Hiding from freaks that want to send you random tourist photos eh?
I am loving all of these ideas!!!Great work ladies!
Man look at all this Mistreatment goodness!
Sadly I have yet to join in. A window seems so daunting to me at the moment.
But I did post on my blog my ablilties to mistreat some cute fabric to make pumpkins for fall decor, does that count?
Most of it is done with a sewing machine but I DID USE A GLUE GUN IN THE END! :)
Can we make a mistreating fall decor group? Just kidding....
Since I'm so late getting into the party, I started not to link or to comment, but I just couldn't help myself! : )
A day late, but not a dollar short!
Hi Nester, I have really enjoyed this party...I did not join...cause..I didn't think I had time...How long are ya keepin this party goin? If I don't have time to join in this time, then if you do another one (you will do another one want ya?) I will join in. Nancy
Hey there- Check out my Tobacco Road. Thanks for your help!! It is on my first page of my blog..Katie (:
I've been away, so I hadn't the time to write a new post on this topic. I posted the link to a recent "mistreatment" I did on my porch swing...using curtains.
Can't wait to check out all of the other ideas!! Thanks for organizing this!
Linda
How fun! Thank you for inviting us to join. Love your ideas and your blog.
Thank you,
Cheryl
I'm going with better late than never...My classroom has begun to take precedence lately, but I did get at least one mistreatment done over the weekend. This is such a fun way to see everyone else's take on it. great idea!
I mistreated my windows by not treating them at all yet but wanted to come to the party SOO BAD! So if it's ok, I posted a picture of the fabric and the room and hopefully all of you can help me decide how to mistreat the windows!!!!
Thanks for all you do for us girls (bloggers)
LaNnY :o)
I'm loving this!
Love this!!! I've gotten tons of ideas from everyone who participated!
This is so much fun! I just moved to a home in much need of some decorating style, and I've found lots of great ideas here. I just posted a link to my mistreatement that hides the ugly shower door in my pink bathroom, and I'll have some more pictures on my blog soon of my kitchen and family room. Thanks for all the great ideas!
As always I love your site and all your ideas! I am so happy you did this! It's been great fun checking out all these wonderful bloggers sites!
Just started my blog and had to share my mistreatments. Thanks for all the great ideas!
Thanks for letting us be on your list! I found you thru Kelley who poasted a comment on Pioneer Woman's blog. I'm glad I found you!
Love your blog...you inspire me!
Blessings...
This will be an awesome resource for ideas! Thanks for sharing, everyone!
This is the most fun I've had in a long time. Not getting much sleep, but still a lot of fun! I hope my ceiling mistreatments make the grade!
You're a bit wacky and I think I'm in love with you, my sweet little chickadee!!!! Hah.... Okay, drop on over if you have a few minutes to throw away; although, with the kids and hubs I can't imagine having any extra time, sweet pea!! Lovin' it!
Smoochies,
Connie
Mistreatments?!?!?! Ya ain't seen nothing yet, honey pie!!
Better late than never. Did these on my lunch hour today - which included ironing the fabric.
This is so fab, I love mistreatments!
I have to say, I LOVE YOUR SITE. A friend referred it to me since birds of a feather...
I'll be back often, thank you for sharing.
OK CHIKA! (for anyone further from the Texas-Mexico border than I am...that's pronounced CHEE-KAH)
I finally did it! I have been saving up pictures and writing mental blogs in my head for months! I finally launched my own blog just so I could be a part of the club!! NESTER, I LOVE YOU!!!
HUGS,
Tracey

Well I am a little late for the party, but we hadn't closed on our house when it started! Better late than never. In fact, we'll call it very fashionably late.
I'm a lot late to the party, but I'm so excited I finally made it!
I've followed your blog for several months now...via Heidi at Mt. Hope Chroncicles. Loving all your great ideas!
I've linked up with your button for faster access to new ideas and humor!
Just completed my first mistreatment and I love it...but I'm not so familiar with all the blogging linking too hard for thinking stuff. So'll I'll try to link to my picture...hope I'm doing it right!
Wanted to share with you, that I mistreated my first window...well I have mistreated several in my life, but this was INTENTIONAL! LOL
