Made with My Cool Signs.Net
In a file brilliantly labeled "Ideas," I found a few things gathered that I'd like to share such as this sweet idea for a bit of lace. (Sadly, my file does not say where I have gleaned these photos...much searching has not worked. If anyone knows, I'd welcome knowing. (ETA: And I'm using them anyway. Bite me.)These shelf brackets are neat if I can get past The Carpenter's misgivings.
Manuela of The Pleasures of Homemaking has a whole bunch of ideas in yesterday's post. I'm working on one this morning and I promise to tack it on to the end of this post before day's end. She's participating in a blog party, but I'm just being a slacker. I adore before and after pictures, but don't have anything exciting to share...yet. ;>
ETA: I'll probably revisit this project in the days to come...
You can see that my recipe notebook was simply lovely; I mean, it even included an obituary. Not exactly the best item for decorating a cookbook! LOL!
Edited to Add Again: Couldn't take that last cover so did something else again. I like it better, but perhaps it'll be revisited or perhaps I'll just accept my imperfection and move on...
I LOVE ideas like this Vee!! I remember the lace organizing one and love it...the shelf is wonderful too!! I hope you're cozy and warm this January morn ~ wishing you a great weekend! xxoo, Dawn
ReplyDeleteI adore the lace in the drawer. What a beautiful and feminine idea. The shelf brackets would be great in my son's room:-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the inspiration.

I've seen that lace idea somewhere too - isn't it the sweetest? Love the brackets - how could the carpenter not be all over that?
ReplyDeleteLovely ideas. I especially like the lace in the drawer. If my drawer looked that good I would never close it.
ReplyDeleteCool ideas, indeed! I went over to the 'cool signs' web page and made you comment for you...but have no idea how to paste it into the comment box.
ReplyDeleteI'm just wondering if that carpenter of yours is at your beck and call for carrying out all your little ideas. He has quite an enviable life...with you and all your little ideas! I'll be back to see how your morning project turned out.
Love the lace idea and the brackets are very clever. Thanks for sharing. I got a bit of a project done yesterday myself. I cleared off two whole shelves in my studio space and made a canvas basket liner for a wire basket I wanted to use to hold scrap fabrics. I think we are all in the mood for a little stylish order here in blog land as there seems to be a great deal of posting on organizing. Great success with your project and have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteReally, Vee, who needs Country Home, when I have the blogging world to inspire me? It may not have the same familiar feel of a piece of paper, but I can be true friends with those I admire. I love the lace idea. I bought a sweet old wooden case last summer. I've been thinking about "re-doing" and I think your idea would fit perfectly into my plans. My magazine woes are shortlived.....
ReplyDeleteoh the lace is so pretty. . .I wish I had enough space in my drawers to be able to see it. .
ReplyDeletecute ideas.
I love that lace drawer idea! I also like the color of that cabinet!
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHugs,

Your recipe binder came out great! You can always change it if you think of something else later but it's so much prettier than plain white! Good job!

I love that idea for the lace to keep bottles upright in the drawer. I know exactly what I'm going to be doing tomorrow! Everything is so lovely, as usual!

The lace in the drawer...instead of a messy place it is a cache of elegance!
ReplyDeleteLike all the other comments, I agree...wonderful ideas and I love the lace idea the best!!

Beautiful book! I came back over to thank your for your kind comment, now realize that these are goals, something to aim for. I may or may not achieve them but they give me something worthwhile to work towards. I think you create your very own beautiful life in your own little corner of the world and I love that you share it with us!
ReplyDeletesoo great to see these fun ideas! love. the lace in the drawer. been gonna do the recipe thing, too. just need to git to it & do it! hugs & blessings, vikki ♥
ReplyDeleteFabulous ideas, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI have just been fretting over my messy make-up draw...I can do that lace thing easy. That is so my style. Yeah, thanks for the idea.
ReplyDeleteVee - I love those ideas! I especially love the drawer with lace, and also the shelf. Wow!
ReplyDeleteI have seen the drawer photo before and think it might be from Real Simple. Or maybe it was Martha. I will look at my files and let you know if I find anything.

Gosh I wish I could open my drawers and they looked like that .... that is so pretty....

Love that recipe book. I made some a couple of Christmases ago for some family members...and didn't make one for myself! Sure wish I would have now. Guess I'll add that to my project list, eh?

Those shelf brackets are GREAT! I will show that picture to Papa to see how it can be done. We've got enough branches and limbs from the ice storm late last year. And I sure could use more shelves.
