So I have come to the conclusion that most of my diy projects are born out of a desire not to go shopping with my kids. We recently replaced the shelves in our living room and I was having trouble figuring out a way to display my mounted photos. I didn’t like them just leaning...
I love the spool idea!
Oh my goodness I love it! What a great idea!
I LOVE your style! These are gorgeous. Where do you get your photos mounted? I love the spools, the potatoes, and the old camera. I found an old kodak brownie on etsy that I put up in my craft room. Love it. Those old chairs look like they were part of an old stadium??
I avoid going to the store with the boys as much as possible too. Cool idea. Now tell us more about the potato thingy.
i’m so glad you included the whole view:). looks great!
Um… the sweet potatoes have me baffled! Please share. Do they stay in the water or do you move them to a pot of soil? I’ve never seen anything like it!
i appreciate your randomness! espcially when you share it with us!
LOVE this idea. Now if I only had some spools! I think that is the one thing my grams didn’t save 
. If you enjoying growing sweet potatoes try an avocado seed. My kids love to grow them inside and its the same “technique” lol!
Brilliant!! (and mighty useful AND lovely too!)
LOVING the statement on how most of your DIY projects are born! 
Blessings!
Jill
cool as always!! thanks for sharing
Spools are soo cute, thanks for the idea, I’m on it
Love the shelves! I’m wondering where you got them (or the components) since I’ve been searching everywhere for some shelves I like. Thanks!
I love the randomness, especially because I have some vintage spools that I have been trying to decide what to do with! Very fun!
My mom has always grown sweet potatoes in a glass jar..brings back memories. I have always loved the way it looks too.
gah!! genius strikes again! i mean seriously!! I have a huge jar of those spools that I bought at a yard sale for $0.50….for the whole jar. score.
love the diys.
I wish I had a cute little area like that in my house!
That quilt is beautiful! I wish it lived on my bed…
I really love this idea!
that’s what they say about necessity! my friend and i were just talking about which errands you can run with children and which ones you can’t. not that i don’t love my little ones. i do! so much. but sometimes i need to think and that takes a lot of concentration.
i went to big lots today in search of some of the scrapbook supplies by martha you mentioned. i found some! i wasn’t sure if it was just a fluke or limited to where you are. i’m going to try to use them to make bookmarks for some younger women i’m doing a Bible study with. we’ll see if i can conjure up a smidge of your creativity!
I absolutely LOVE the spool picture holders. What a great idea!
Great idea – love the whole look too, and I agree, it is frustrating when you can’t see how the whole area looks – thanks for posting such a picture! Love your blog! (and by the way, I started following after you were done with professional photography – I love hearing all about your life and your projects – so fun!)
yes, I, too, am baffled by the potatoes! How lovely! Please do share on growing them indoors.
As you well know we have a lot of these mounted photos in our house and now that we have moved to a new place I’ve been trying to figure out what to do with them. I LOVE THIS IDEA!! Thanks a bunch.
These are AWESOME! Thanks so much for the great tip!
Is soooo easy and I never never thing in something like this.
PLOP!! I need move my head, my mind is moth-eaten
looks great Ashley.
I’ve been collecting spools for awhile now. I love your idea.
I want to make a huge heart out of spools and hang it on my wall.
I saw it on a blog but can’t remember where.
Awesome space. I love the drawing of the frame behind the shelf
What a fabulous idea…I have some spools and I didn’t know what I was going to do with them. Now I do…thanks to you!
If you have followed this blog over the last year you know that Google Reader stopped working consistently on my blog. It has been annoying to say the least. I don’t understand web code (or if that is even what it is called!), so it has made it difficult for me to figure out things....

Yay! So glad you found good help. But now your hit count will drop because I’m not checking your blog 20 times a day to see if you’ve posted anything new.
Yay! Great to see you first thing in the morning on my google reader, but then again I always check your blog first anyway! Looking forward to the project!
Ashley- so happy to see you in my google reader, at long last!!! also thankful for your posting on prophotoblogs….I never knew about them, but am looking to makeover my blog and I think I found the answer in them and your discount makes my decision even easier!! Love your continued inspiration!
oh me oh my, those pics are funfunfunny! Love ‘em. Hooray for google reader working!
Your blog has always shown up on my google reader- but not correctly- all I see is the headline of the post and then I have to click over to see the whole thing. It also shows that you have a new post every time someone comments. It is still showing up like this now for me- but that’s fine- at least I always get reminded to see what fun new post you have up!
Hooray! Reading all your blogs when they flooded my Reader was never very enjoyable. Too much too quickly. Hahaha.
Glad to see it’s worked out for you!
You can now remove the “call for help” on the blog description
PS. As far as web security goes, Blogger is far superior to WordPress. I can’t recommend it enough!
So glad it’s fixed.
Okay, so I’ve been reading your blog religiously for about a month and I’ve even done some of your DIY projects (the bird scrapbooking paper canvas “painting,” the advice jar you did for your sister’s baby shower I just did for my sis-in-law’s wedding shower, and I have a few others on my to-do list.
Well, I started up a photography business in January and so far it’s only been word of mouth and my only online portfolio is a dinky blogspot blog. Just this week I was telling my husband that I’m ready to start getting serious about my business so I can eventually quit my day job (I have a degree in theatre and I’m an oil $ gas analyst in Texas – howdy neighbor!:)- so you can guess that the oil business wasn’t my first career choice 
So I’m just waiting for my funds to come through then I’m setting up my Prophoto blog within the week! I’m so serious when I say reading this was such an encouragement because I’ve been very nervous about spending so much money on something I don’t know too much about. It’s like you said, you don’t know if you’re getting ripped off or not. I’m so glad I stopped by your blog today because I have more confidence now…and an extra ten dollars! haha. Thanks!
Those macbook photos are hilarious. A friend brought his macbook to a party and we were laughing it up for at least 30 minutes while we took turns in front of the screen.
Glad you got some help. I had thought maybe you were taking a blog hiatus when it hadn’t showed up in my reader for a week or so. I got all caught up yesterday and am so glad you are back in business. Can’t wait to see what you cook up over at Design Aglow.
Ha ha ha ha pictures are the best and the two last ha ha ha ha ha.
I don’t understand very well about the desing. But I have one thing clear I must these punches
yay!!!
Ashley, that composition notebook is amazing! Thank you so much for giving us your step by step and sharing your knowledge with us! I really appreciate that.
glad you got it straighten out i just added you to my reader..though i got in the habit of always checking your blog then going to my reader and seeing what else was updated..so it didn’t really matter anymore. :0)
Thanks for always telling us when your Design Aglow post is up! Fun! Kelly
I loved your tutorial on design aglow! Congrats on the google reader finally working! That must have been so annoying!
Looking forward to this week’s posts from you!
ps, I just did a tin for my “big girl” shared room similar to that! Gorgeous.
Where do I get the blue design like you had? I looked on design aglo and couldn’t find it. Do you have the link to what you have or did you alter it a lot?
You’re back in my google reader and I am overjoyed!
In other news…2 random people (one in Memphis, one in Cinci) this week have mentioned your blog to me. I was proud to say that I knew you personally!!! They both LOVE your work!
ari
I thought I’d share a little project I got work on with a friend’s daughter. K is getting ready to start her last year in elementary school – which is a pretty huge deal. I remember what it was like that last year in elementary – just on the verge of so many things. K...

The backpack is so cute! SO much better than the plain jane bag in the before pictures! Yall did a great job, and love the colors! I’ll bet tons of other girls are going to want one just like hers!
Also loving the dishtowel. I’m pretty new to your blog, though I did recently feature your boys room. So, I hadn’t seen the dish towel re-do, but it looks great as a pillow!
Oh, once I show my 10 year old daughter this post, she will run for her backpack! That’s too cute. Love her headband too, and the pillow of course!
What a cute idea! I love the flowers! We take a backpack on our vacations — now I need some flowers on it!
Details on towel turned pillow???? Please oh please oh please oh please oh please share more on this!!!!! Fabulous idea and I’d love to copycat you!!!
I was wondering the name of the font used for “…on a Monday”? It is the second time I have seen it in the last 12 hours, and I love it!
Cute backpack! Love the flowers on it! I especially love her headband!
One of my boys has that same monkey which I’m pretty sure was random find so it’s weird to see it pop up here.
Happy Monday!
I love seeing kids with their OWN style… kids who don’t just want the LL Bean backpack with their initials because everyone else has it. Very cool!
that backpack is groovy great! lovelovelove that pic of littlest brother
Love the backpack. Very cool.
Would you mind sharing how you made the flowers and “pinwheels” on the backpack? I would love to make some embellishments like those! Thanks so much!
love it all!
i miss my sewing machine.
boo hoo.
Very cute! I need some throw pillows around here, I literally have none! I also need to learn how to sew…I htink my mother in law has a sewing machine…lol
The bag turned out adorable! Does K want to be a designer some day? You’re right, you need to make yourself a bag and me too!
I LOVE it! So colorful and fun. But you know you’re going to have to make about six more when she gets home from her first day of school. Elementary school couture!
her backpack turned out so cute!
I love the backpack and I love the new pillows. Can you post a tutorial on the fabric flowers?
ADORABLE!!! How about a quick “how to” on the flowers!! I’d love to make my daughter some!!
Where did she get the headband? It is adorable!
too cute!!! ALMOST makes me want to go back to school!…almost!
and brother’s picture…definately makes a “happy Monday”!
Blessings!
Jill
that turned out great!! i’d carry that around as a mom bag it’s so cute. and your pillow is super cute, too. i love using anthro towels for pillows. it helps to justifies the price. a little.
That is one fabulous backpack! She can come help me design some rooms any day!! Love the pillow Ash!
fun stuff! i wish i could get away with that, but my older boys might get beat up at school. when the little miss starts its definitely a must!
Awwww…5th grade. So much fun happens in 5th grade. The end of an era. Simplicity. Sweet simplicity. Can I go back???
Ashley, you are my daily source of inspiration. You Rock! These flowers are so cool and I’m loving ruffles lately
I have done so many creative projects myself since first seeing your blog
xoxo
Wow you have a gift girl – you make even the most mundane everyday objects into something amazing!
Love the bag and tea towel cushion
very cute, can you post a tutorial on how you made those flowers, those look like exactly what i’m after for some cute headbands.
Love the backpack!!! Do you think Camden would like that – I can’t believe he is 5th grade this year!!
Love it!! Did you know your nursery is on apartment therapy today…in the ‘ideas for window coverings’ post…way to go!
Haha! Littlest brother’s expression in that last pic is awesome. Great picture.
So fun! We did the same project last year for my oldest, who also wanted something different for her backpack. Too cute
I’ve been trying to figure out how to justify an Anthropologie dishtowel for myself- the pillow is brilliant! And the backpack is so cute!
Oh, the anthro towel… true love!
I want to wear that backpack as my diaper bag! Adorable. And that picture of your son is too funny!
The backpack is amazing! She will look so cute on the first day or school! And your pillows…. SO CUTE!!!!
Am also a newcomer to your blog, would love instructions on how you made those adorable flowers! They would be so cute for baby headbands
love the bag and the pillow is gorgeous!!!!
I agree that K has great style. The bag looks awesome. Great job!
I was hoping you would do a diy on the flowers! I’ve been wanting to make some like this and can’t figure it out. Please, please!:)
love! such a fun idea! i don’t suppose you know where the white fabric with the lime green polka dots was purchased do you? i love it! thanks!
Not sure how I stumbled upon your blog but I’m pretty much hooked! Check on it everyday to see if any new updates. From Chattanooga TN and a “for pleasure” photographer and sewer; I have very much so enjoyed your blog! Can you post a tutorial on your anthro pillow? I have several anthro towels and thought your pillow was perfect!
Just found your blog and I’m hooked! Where did you get that great headband? I looked through the archives to see if you made it but couldn’t find anything. Can you point me in the right direction? Thanks!!!
we went to obu together, i have just recently started following your blog… looooooove it! please share how you turned the dishtowel into a pillowcase… LOVE it!
My girls love the backpack and I love the girl’s headband! Did you make that too? I’d like to know how it was made if possible. My 11 year old would love it!
AshleyAnn-I am a new follower of your blog & just wanted you to know how inspirational you are. I am an inspirer myself, and don’t follow too many bloggers, but you are a daily read. Thank you for sharing your world! 
& this post is amazing. I would love to know more about how you make those beautiful flowers & ruffles.
[...] AMAZING and beautiful DiY backpack from Ashley Ann DiY is something I would have sold my soul for as a kid. Heck, I’d dig one of those right [...]
Well, thanks for all the congrats on the Ohdeedoh Top Ten….and all the not so subtle hints asking me to get on the ball and post playroom pictures! We have a room that is about 10ftx10ft. It has a small nook and a little closet (as in just a few shelves…no walking into it). The...

I love how you “see” things!
My grandparents used to have a clock just like that. I would have never thought to do that with it!
I’m trying to repurpose more items that are already in my home. You’ve given me so many great ideas.
It looks amazing and the banner is right up there with Dottie Angel’s!!!!
p.s. I totally agree with the toy thing. If it were up to me my kids would ONLY have Lego’s, books, ONE doll, and kitchen stuff. That is all. Too many toys are highly overrated.
I love the “mommy clock”. I’m sure my kids would love to put it on the needs coffee spot for me. Great ideas for cheap. LOVE IT!!!
i love it! and you are so right about doing things very cheaply and still make a big impact. love that!
Oh my! I was so excited to see this post this morning. You are freaking AMAZING…but you already knew that. Funny my office re-do is in the same color scheme. Can’t wait to see what you do in your living room.
i love your thoughts regarding toys. my husband and i feel the same way. we would MUCH rather our son play outside. and the truth is, he doesn’t play with the few toys he does have! granted, he is still under 2 so there is still time. but lots of toys are overrated!
i love this room!! everything about it is awesome. great job!!
Thanks for sharing…
Love the room! The clock is funfunfunny! It all came together in such a lovely way
I love it! The hanging chair is FANTASTIC and I love the hankies! As usual, your details are amazing!
~Red Head
Where did you find the bookshelf? I want to make one…what are the dimensions?
Ashley, everything you do is OUTSTANDING! I love this room. I especially love the clock!
I absolutely agree with your philosophy on toys. I’ve always said that the best toys my kids ever had were empty boxes, scrap wood, and a tarp!
You are so good at decorating! Every room you share is so cute. Can’t wait to see the new living room…
That clock is so cute! What an adorable idea I’m new to your blog, can’t wait to see more!!!
Love it. Love it all. Genius. Did I mention I love it all?
It’s so wonderful! Love the room!
so so brilliant!
and the color scheme is perfect.
This room is great! Here’s a problem I have…I have too many ideas and have trouble pairing them down. I love the simple look but for some reason can’t get my mind to settle on just a few things. Any suggestions? Oh and we have way too many toys! Very nicely done!
love all the gray and yellow! hooray for the feature on poppy talk!! love, love, love that site.
Will you come over and makeover my house or at least my daughter’s room? I love your style and everything you show us…love it! Love the clock and the hankie banner. I love to collect hankies and didn’t know what else to do with them except make pillows
I love your style and this room looks great! I like that you added the prices. I honestly didn’t comment about remodeling b/c I was a bit blue that $ is so tight I cannot. I mean it comes down to my last $5 – do I buy eggs or gas to get to the store?
But I love drooling over the possibilities. I’m compiling ideas, and now I know it can be done with little of the green stuff. When the time comes I know that my scrappiness with creating meals with a limited grocery budget, will translate to a wonderfully decorated house on a small budget. Thanks for keeping me inspired!
Perfect! I love the clock-my sentiments exactly! Good job! Need some more exclamation marks?
I think it looks so fabulous! We have three kids and I know what you mean about toys. They only play with legos and a few other things. Honestly, Ashley, I feel like children today have too much stuff. So I support you in keeping it simple.
I copied you again recently…for a shower for my sister. I made the paper circles garland and the branches with tissue paper blooms. Everyone loved them! Thanks for the inspiration!
I absolutely LOVE your style. As far as blogs I’ve found, I think your style is one of the closest to my own personal style…..what I hope my home to become (once I’ve finally purchased a home)(and for parts of it…..once I finally have kids, heh, heh).
I really love the colors you’ve used in this room – it’s just fantastic! And I love that you don’t seem like you’re trying too hard in your crafts…you’re just adding your own personal touch and creating a space that would be fun to live in. My favorite parts of the room (I’m whittling it down to three…no, four) are the burlap curtains, the hanging chair, the flowered thrifted chair, and the DIY clock that reflects mommy’s mood. Each of those pieces adds so much detail and character to the the room.
really love love LOVE this!
I LOVE the clock!! I am SLOWLY working on my boys’ playroom now. Thanks for the inspiration. BTW, thanks to yours, I recreated a BIG chalkboard of my own. Here’s the link if you want to check it out.
http://3sunkissedboys.blogspot.com/2010/08/chalkboard-in-our-family-we-are-always.html
A friend gave me the best tip for cleaning up Legos. Before they dump them out, lay a sheet down on the ground. Then when they are done playing you can just pour the Legos off of the sheet into the container. I love the room!
I love all the yellow in the first picture! Especially the yellow clock! It’s gorgeous! And that hanging chair, well, that’s just awesome! You’re kids are so cute! I have two nephews so I’ve seen the legos all over the floor before! Little boys just love their legos! I love the picture on the wall too! Okay, I might as well just say I LOVE the room or else I’ll be going off all night! Oh, and thank you so much for taking the time to drop by my blog!
Tessa Brooke
Love the chair!
Everything you do to your house is a huge inspiration…I love your taste! And I think our kids would get along great…my 8&5 year old boys have a ton of the same toys and even shirts as yours, they enjoy looking at the pictures with me. Too bad we are in NY, haha.
your shelf is brilliant! and i love how the color scheme relates to the other rooms upstairs…grey/yellow, grey/orange, orange/pink. so thoughtful!
this room is beautiful! I adore that hanging chair, we had several of them in our home growning up:)
fabulous.
SO MUCH FUN! gah!! love everything! love that you painted the trim for the color in the room instead of the walls! love the size of that yellow frame! so stinkin’ cool! love the burlap curtains. I started making some for my kitchen pantry out of muslin. your’s are so cool with the clothes pins. love it all! great job!!!
ps – they dont grow out of legos either. my 11 and 8 year old are still obsessed with them. have been for about 6 years. crazy!
I love your playroom! I love how simple yet unique it is! Great job!
Thanks for all the pictures! I wanted them to keep coming. You’re a great inspiration!
I love that blue and white fabric! What’s it called? Beautiful and quirky as always…
Wow! What an amazing playroom. I love the colors and the vintage furniture. It looks like it cost a lot more than you said it did. Only problem… how did you find a nice-looking upholstered chair for $5? I live in Los Angeles and the shabbiest chairs start at $200-300. Where do you look??
Ok. The clock is amazing. I am so in love with it! And the words you added ~ even better! Great job, Ashley!
I didn’t see the courtain with these clips, It’s a fantastic idea
SO cute…i love the room! the big yellow picture frame & the clock are awesome!!! I’ve got to try it. I saw this on Etsy and thought of you…since you’re always using lace and stuff for embellishments – http://www.etsy.com/listing/53809381/lovely-pastel-lace-sticky-deco-tape
This room is amazing! It’s nice to have a place for them to go and retreat and play if they need! Your style is so organic. Love it.
Thanks for showing us around – I love it! And thanks for the budget tips too – they are always handy…though I wish I could get more paint for $7 (that’s what a test pot costs here!)
…May I ask – do you have a suggestion for wii games for small people? I may have asked this before…we’re at the tail end (I hop!) of a looong, cold, wet winter and I think introducing the kids to the wii might be in order….do you have games that your kids like, or just do the sports? Thanks!
I love this room Ashley. I turned out so great.
I love the yellow and I was (but really shouldn’t have ) been surprised that you’ve added doilies to the decor
It’s so FUN – I want to redecorate now
That bookshelf would be perfect for my little boys room. Where did you find it?
Ashely Ann how did you get that dirty chair so clean? And I have to say that I just love the playroom. You are giving me inspiration to clean up our act around here. But for us matchbox cars are the can’t live without item to date.
I LOVE the way you hung the curtains. I hate fussiness and think windwo treatments get very fussy. That was just brilliant and I love the fabric of the curtains!
I am inspired by your creativity! Love the woodwork you created for the room!
Fantastic room! Do you have any suggestions for deep cleaning the thrift store chair? I have one that I like, but it is super dirty and I am trying to prevent having to recover. Thanks!
Can you tell me where you got those cool (and very brightly colored) swords and shields? They look super fun!
Great room by the way!
Everything is just too delightful, what memories your babies will have! Where did you find that hanging chair? I am in love with it.

this is such a neat idea. I love the yellow!
p.s. I made the cateye glasses onesie last night. Super cute. I might post it to my blog today. Thanks for the idea!
I have several of those heart people, all made with love by my kiddos… So precious. Great idea, i have a frame sitting with in my vision that needs a make-over! Thank Ashley Ann for regularly getting my creative juices going!
that creative brain of yours is ridiculous! I LOVE this. You never cease to amaze! Can’t wait to see the playroom!
I Love, Love, Love this idea! Thanks for sharing!
How do you ever sleep? All these ideas rollin around up there.
Thanks for sharing.
I was trying to think of ways to have my kids artwork displayed. (The fridge is getting a little too crowded). This idea is much better and much larger than what I was dreaming up. Thank you for sharing. Love this creation.
so cute! and I love that bright pop of yellow…why is it that men at hardware stores don’t understand our creative insanity like the men in our lives?
ok~ have you been reading my mind??? I’m doing this EXACT same thing in my soon to be play room! so, does this mean i’m as talented as you? i could only wish…
Very Cute!
Love it! Very cute, and so easy.
And P.S. I love, love, LOVE the pic of Firecracker (at least, I think it’s her) at the ping pong table!!
I love it! Ok, it is official, your blog is my favorite ever! I have loved every project that you have posted.
Thanks for sharing!
Wowza! Super fun memory frame! Lovin’ it deary!
you are a genius!
everything you do is so super-fantastic!!
gah!! i need to go find a frame or two now at my local thrifting faves.
I need to do this now! I have an empty wall space just crying out for it! I may have to even make it yellow; my favorite color (:
Ashley, you are the queen of thinking outside the box!!Love how it came out and so unexpected!!! Quick question, I was wondering if you could include tips in a post on how to capture interior room images with a dslr camera. I get the wide angle lens thing, but also wondering about settings. The ones you’ve done of your home are spectacular!! thanks
I love this!!
SUCH a cah-ute idea! Great yellow–and the pics you put on it are so fun
Looks fabulous!!!!!!
Fantastic Idea! I was thinking of something similar for my jewelery but as I like chunky necklaces, the screen normally used wouldn’t bear their weight. The Chicken Wire is GENIUS! (they yellow rocks too – thank you for the idea!
I can’t tell you how much I am inspired by your DIY projects and blog in general. I love love love them! I work full time with two small children, but on the weekends I love to try out some of your ideas. Thank you for the morning inspirations (which area always accompanied by a cup of coffee).
what a great idea and so beautifully executed!
I stumbled across your website a few weeks ago and have been reading everyday including skimming through the archives. I LOVE your blog! I know you’ve got four kids, but, I think you need a book deal filled with DIYs and photography tips. On the upcoming arrival of my first baby, I’ve invested in a dslr and if I can manage it, I can’t wait to attend the online snap shop you have planned next year.
I love Charlie Harper. We have some alphabet cards of his given to my boys by my cousin. I am looking forward to getting a calender with his artwork for next year! I can’t wait to see your kid’s playroom!
Funny. I have one of these planned! Just haven’t had time. (oh, time. . .how I miss thee.)
I did this to the front of a cabinet once and love it…thanks for the reminder we have long since moved from that house and I need to do another!
LOVE that yellow color it is soooo happy! Kim
Love this! What a great way to re-purpose an old frame!
MMmmm….I’m LOVING that yellow!
LOVE this! Much better than the clothespin and ribbon set up I have going. Adding a huge pretty frame to my list of things to find!
Oh i love this and the yellow paint – so fun!
How doyou think of these things, genius woman?! I can’t wait to see this play room!!!
LOVE it.
i have so many things to paint and make! i feel like a crazy lady.
holy cow! that is so cute! what a great use of those amazing cards. we have the game too and have only seen half the cards because it came with so many and you really just play with so few.
love it. definitely going to do!
You are craftily amazing! Loving your blog.
Great idea! It’s so cute! I just spied a family picture that you put up, and sweet little Firecracker looks so little!! When I See the picture on your header pop up with baby sister with the cat eye glasses, I can’t help but think that she looks so different! She is so grown up, it’s borderline sad! Wow, sort of pathetic that an unknown friend can feel sad that your child is growing so fast Love this idea though.
Love this idea!
love it! my next stop after checking out your blog was etsy and PB to find some sort of “thing” to put in my son’s room for him to hang up stuff. art work, pictures, and the post cards daddy sends from work in NYC that he adores to look at daily.
this is PERFECT!
im going to do it… i think!
thanks!
I REALLY like it!!! I’ll have steal the idea some day. Looking forward to the pictures of you niece and bro-in-law!
I already have a chicken wire frame, but I’m TOTALLY stealing the clothespins idea. CUTE!
What a great idea! Looks fabulous!
Greatness! I once went to ace hardware to buy lumber. The gentleman working asked me what I was building. I explained that I was not building anything and long story short, after he didn’t “get” that he refused do sell me the wood because he said that I couldn’t transport it in my small car! Little did he know that I have carted an antique iron double bed in my little sedan so I just went to Home Depot. Kelly
Love how you revamped this frame into something completely different! Great idea! And that glossy yellow color is so fun.
This project is SO ASHLEY
Great idea as usual.
xoxo
this (of course) turned out super cute.
fabulous.
