Rhoda gave us 5 decorating tips for a more beautiful room: preach it Rhoda!
Rachel led us in a discussion about what? Our washer and dryer! Do yours match?
Somehow I got lost deep in the archives over at Make and Takes and found a great curtain tutorial--this could easily be transformed into a mistreatment with the use of hot glue!

I wish I would have known two years ago you could paint fabric, what a beautiful transformation!
Thanks for sharing, what a great way to spend a rainy saturday!
My washer/dryer used to match, but when the dryer went out a couple months ago, we found one on Craigs list for a good price. I could care less if they match, I just want them to work! :)
Sounds like great ideas! I will go on over and take a peek. Thanks!!!

Hey sweet stuff! I have to say I'm loving your Bird Watching posts...You seem to watch the prettiest birds! :) I wanted to see if I could interview you for one of the "projects" I am working on for the Project...Let me know! Love you, Me
I am in love with mistreatments. They make me feel clever.
I found a table runner I liked and, since we're renting and some not so smart person hung our blinds on the OUTSIDE of our window, I just hot glued my table runner right to the top of the mini blinds. It hides those ugly blinds but I didn't have to take them down and I can still use them if I really need them. But I was thinking... you could just snip a few stitches on the table runner and run a rod through it. It’s thick enough it shouldn’t slip around.
I love this blog.
Love love love love love it!
So inspiring!
Thank you for the lovely links!
I'd love to come back as a repurposed Queen Anne chair in another life (not that I even believe in them as a Christian, but still, LOL), so I loooove that photo and the links!
P.S. I linked to you in a blog post this week about mistreating tables. :o) You've given me some big plans, mama!

I love that chair! And no, my washer and dryer don't match, since they were craigslist specials. But as the undomesticated wife says... as long as they work, it's all good to me!
I was dropping by to invite you and your readers to visit a new website that a friend of mine is launching. Tricia is a mom of 4 and a freelance writer who decided last fall that she wanted to do SOMETHING to help people who are being affected by the bad economy. Her vision is BudgetArtists.com and it's officially opening up tomorrow (Monday 3/16). Her goal is to provide information to help families live well during hard economic times...
She's launching the site with giveaways every day next week and also hosting a bunch of free seminars on everything from job hunting to home management to becoming a green family. I hope ya'll will stop by and say hello!

This is the first blog I check each morning to see if it has been updated. I LOVE this blog.
I just posted a bathroom makeover on my blog. I decided to do it after reading your blog. If you have time, check it out. http://wendysfavoritethings.blogspot.com/search/label/boys%27%20bathroom
I just revamped a wreath I bought for my door from your inspiration. I also bought fabric and recovered my kitchen chairs, and now I have a new side table to figure out a paint color and redecorate and change my rec room! I love your blog for the inspiration!
Also, I finally have some color samples and fabric to figure out some redo to my bedroom from an older post if you want to check it out and help me figure it out! :)
Thank you so much for linking to my site! I really appreciate it! Love your blog!
What great ideas!!! I'm so thankful for all your ideas!
Come on over and see my transformed kitchen...it's easy and inexpensive total re-do, that anyone could do.
