I am working on some curtains in my living room, and I finished 1 of 3 that I have to make :-) I don't think I could be any more excited. Here it is! There's a pleat in the middle. </p> [attach=1855/13/mgb9nb.600x450.Curtain.JPG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-recent-diy-projects#post-428297 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 18:12:13 +0000 Mrs. J 428297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runnerd: P.S.

DH did the construction, I did the painting. Sorry for the poor quality! There's a green ring around the hole to match their name and wedding year. </p> [attach=2764/12/mef8t6.448x600.photo.JPG] [attach=2764/12/mef8t8.358x600.d-S-cornhole.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-recent-diy-projects#post-428040 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 13:53:15 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 428040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runnerd: I'd love to do chevron!

I'm also going to go pick up fabric to make the bean bags. </p> [attach=1198/12/meey7h.448x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-recent-diy-projects#post-427903 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 11:43:13 +0000 mlm2934 427903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rawrasaur love the personalized nursery art! </p> <p>@twodoghouse: cute letters! on the canvases, I used one of those little clear lids that come on hairspray dipped in paint for the dots, and the letters I printed a font then traced onto scrapbook paper</p> <p>@prettylizy Love the bathroom! Can't wait to do some updates to mine </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-recent-diy-projects#post-427894 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 11:30:30 +0000 prettylizy 427894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rawrasaur: thanks!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-recent-diy-projects#post-427893 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 11:29:45 +0000 rawrasaur 427893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: Such an improvement! Looks great and I love the counters! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-recent-diy-projects#post-427892 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 11:29:18 +0000 prettylizy 427892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@twodoghouse: Thanks!! I was really sick of the peach sponge painted walls in there so we just went for it. New counter top, mirror, light paint and hardware did the trick relatively cheaply as far as bathrooms go. DH thinks we will get another 10 years out of it this way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-recent-diy-projects#post-427891 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 11:26:49 +0000 twodoghouse 427891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: Wow, that looks amazing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-recent-diy-projects#post-427889 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 11:24:04 +0000 prettylizy 427889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just finished a small bathroom update this weekend. I'm not crafty but DH is handy!!</p> <p>Before and after :) </p> [attach=1542/12/meew85.450x600.399282_924108617988_894759646_n.jpg] [attach=1542/12/meew87.600x450.tn--1-.jpg] [attach=1542/12/meew88.600x450.tn.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-recent-diy-projects#post-427888 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 11:23:46 +0000 rawrasaur 427888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the Merry &amp; Bright canvases!</p> <p>I posted these before on here, but here are updated pictures of things I made for the nursery over the past few months. Letter A, pinwheel art and quilt. </p> [attach=91/12/meew7o.397x600.DSC_0007.jpg] [attach=91/12/meew7q.397x600.DSC_0008b.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-recent-diy-projects#post-427886 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 11:19:57 +0000 twodoghouse 427886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love your Merry &amp; Bright canvases!! How'd you get those little dots and perfect text? Your yarn wreath looks so good too! I was going to make one this fall but then got busy and never started it.</p> <p>I am not very crafty at all, but the past couple days I've been working on a project to put over our mantel. I can't believe I'm putting this picture on the internet because my painting job was pretty sloppy, but here's an "almost finished!" picture of it laying on my sunroom floor: </p> [attach=141/12/meew1a.600x345.photo-16.JPG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-recent-diy-projects#post-427883 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 11:14:25 +0000 doodlepoodle 427883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runnerd: Oh I love those canvases!!! I'm not crafty. I pin stuff constantly on pinterest but anything that isn't a recipe or baby ideas goes on the board I named "Stuff I'll never do" because it's the truf. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-recent-diy-projects#post-427866 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 11:03:39 +0000 mlm2934 427866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been working on actually executing some of my DIY Pinterest finds. Love pics and love DIY so share some recent projects with me!! :) </p> <p>My three: yarn wreath, Christmas themed canvases, and the scariest: progress shot of sponging my laminate counters for "granite" look! Doesn't look perfect at all, but I HATED my tan counters and we will enventually replace the counters.</p> <p>SHARE your projects pretty please :) </p> [attach=2888/12/meevbp.600x600.image.jpg] [attach=2888/12/meevbr.600x600.image.jpg] [attach=2888/12/meevbs.600x600.image.jpg]
