THE INSPIRATION BOARD: Spotlight 266 & Berry Good

Welcome back everyone and happy Monday! I hope you had a wonderful weekend filled with fun, creativity, and of course, relaxation. We installed a doggy door for our little Sammy this weekend. She getting older and needing to go out more frequently and those middle of the night trips outside are getting old. It’s reminiscent of the baby feedings and since I’ve been there, done that,  we’re hoping the doggy door will solve the problem. I like to call it the door of freedom.

Happy Fourth of July to all of you in the U.S. I hope you’re enjoying the long 3-day weekend and are doing something fun today. Backyard barbeque, fireworks, and maybe later some s’mores – sounds perfect to me.

Somehow June got away from me. One day I was moaning about the June gloom weather and bam, it got hot and we’re in the last week of June. It’s crazy how fast the days seems to fly by. It would be nice to slow down and enjoy the little things. I’m going to make an effort to do that. Who’s with me?

I hope you can take a moment to enjoy these beautiful projects featured from The Inspiration Board. And in case you haven’t had a chance to stop by lately, here’s what I’ve been sharing.

It’s definitely summer here in Southern California. We’re having a heat wave and baby it’s hot!! I’m lucky to live by the coast so we should top off today below 90 degrees. I love summer. It’s my favorite season and there were loads of summer home tours linked up – several of them are featured below – plus a bunch of other fun projects. I hope you enjoy the projects featured this week. Don’t forget to stop by tomorrow when we do it all again on The Inspiration Board Creative Party.

So while, I figure out what to do with all of our stuff, enjoy these gorgeous and inspiring projects featured from The Inspiration Board.

Welcome to a new week here on homework. I hope you had a wonderful weekend? Did you relax, create or do something fun? My goal this past weekend was to get caught up on my to-do list and I made a good dent. The to-do list is never ending – it’s always one step forward and two steps back.

I know you’ll enjoy these projects featured from The Inspiration Board. As always, they’re amazing. I try to pick a variety of beautiful and inspiring projects but it’s never easy to choose. Thank you so much for sharing on The Inspiration Board creative party.

Welcome back everyone. It's Memorial Day here in the U.S.- a day that we honor those who have sacrificed for our country. So while we enjoy a 3-day weekend, we pause to also remember the reason for this day.

Thank you to all of you who stopped by last week. You commented, visited and shared your projects on The Inspiration Board and I'm so grateful. Enjoy the day and  these beautiful projects featured in the spotlight this week.

THE INSPIRATION BOARD: Spotlight 259 & Happy Hour

Did you have a great weekend? I hope so. My weekend was spent catching up on all things house and life. It feels good to have the house cleaned up, laundry done and the pile of mail taken care of. I am having some major car problems but it’s always something, right? So let’s take a minute, catch our breath and enjoy these beautiful projects featured from The Inspiration Board this week.

There have been a lot of  “one room challenge” reveals lately and I love this modern industrial bedroom by Love Create Celebrate.

THE INSPIRATION BOARD: Spotlight 258 & Lemon Lime Time

Welcome back friends! I hope you had a wonderful weekend. I got back in town from a week of business travel and spent the weekend catching up on all things house. When you leave the husband and teen son home alone you never know what you’ll come home to. We also celebrated a belated Mother’s Day with my mom so between unpacking and laundry, I needed to get to the grocery store, restock the kitchen and make her a special dessert.

And, of course one of my favorite things to do each weekend is to grab a cup of coffee and soak in the projects shared on The Inspiration Board so I can choose the features. So let’s get to the projects featured in the Spotlight this week.

Super fun Map Table Mats by Pillar Box Blue. I’m also swooning over that amazing plate.

THE INSPIRATION BOARD: Spotlight 257 & Frozen

Did you have a good weekend? If you’re a mom or celebrating a mom, I hope you had a wonderful day filled with love. I’m actually out of town on business and had to travel yesterday. We plan on celebrating Mother’s Day next weekend when I’m back in town. So I spent Mother’s Day away from my family in a hotel room. I made up for it by having a nice room service dinner. Anyway, enough about that – let’s move on to the features from The Inspiration Board Creative Party.

A giant thank you to all of you who visited, commented and shared your talent here last week. I hope you had a chance to visit, but in case you didn’t, here’s a glimpse at what I’ve been up to.

THE INSPIRATION BOARD: Spotlight 256 & Bowl Me Over

Hello May and hello friends. May is one of my favorite months. Although we can have May-grey days here in Southern California, the sun always pokes through and the day ends bright and cheerful. With the garden blooming, vegetables growing and longer days to work projects, it’s an inspiring time of year. Need more inspiration? Check out the amazing projects featured from The Inspiration Board below. First up, here’s a little recap of what I’ve been sharing.

Welcome back everyone. I hope you had a fabulous weekend. We had summer weather here in Southern California. We enjoyed temperatures in the 80’s along the coast and it felt wonderful. I worked on the master bedroom makeover some more and my aching muscles are proof of the progress I’m making. I got the rest of the bureaus painted and the curtains hung. Hooray for progress. I hope your weekend was filled with nice weather and fun things.

Spring is in the air and the projects shared on the Inspiration Board truly captured the season and inspired. Thank you so much for stopping by, sharing and commenting last week.

As for me, I’m still working on our master bedroom transformation. It’s a painfully slow process because I only have a little time every weekend to work on a small part of the room. I’m hoping to finish up the bureaus and start on the headboard and window treatments soon. I also shared some recycled K Cup pots and DIY Green Sea Glass.

And now for the projects featured this week.

Old Fashioned Rolodex Makeover  :  Naturally Dyed Eggs

The Inspiration Board: Spotlight 249 & Industrial Décor

Hello friends! Welcome to a new week here at homework. Did you remember to Spring Forward? I actually love it when it stays lighter into the evening but I think we should just leave it alone and stop the clock changes. And if we have to spring forward, I saw a meme on Facebook that said, “Who came up with the brilliant idea of moving the clocks forward on the weekend in the middle of the night…how about Friday at 4:00 PM.” Yup, sounds good to me!

So while we adjust to the time change, we can at least enjoy some beautiful projects featured from The Inspiration Board. First here’s a glimpse at what I’ve been sharing.

Bay Window Makeover Reveal  :  Naturally Dyed Eggs

The Inspiration Board: Spotlight 248 & Good Wood Ideas

Welcome to The Inspiration Board Spotlight friends. The day I get share your amazing talent. I hope you had a wonderful weekend relaxing, creating and enjoying the pre-spring weather. I started the weekend Friday night at my son’s volleyball match. He plays for the local college and we came away with the win! There’s nothing I enjoy more than watching him play. It seems like just yesterday I was sitting at his t-ball games and now he’s playing college-level sports. Time sure flies.

Before we get to the features, here’s a little recap of what I’ve been sharing here on homework.

Dining Room Bay Window Makeover  :  A Touch of Spring

And now let’s move on to the projects featured this week

The Inspiration Board: Spotlight 247 & Inspire me Orange

Welcome back everyone and Happy Leap Year Day! I hope you had a wonderful weekend. I finished our dining room bay window makeover this weekend and I’m obviously out of shape because I’m so sore.  Hat’s off to you home décor and diy experts. Actually, my husband and I used to do a lot of diy projects but we've slowed down and now we’re on that cycle of everything needs improvement again. Anyway, I can’t wait to show you the dining room reveal soon. I just need to finish up some of the decorating part and then we’ll be done.

Now let’s move on to the projects featured in the spotlight and a little recap of what I’ve been sharing.

Relaxing Bath Salts and Invigorating Coffee Scrubs  :  Bay Window Progress  :  Touches of Spring

The Inspiration Board: Spotlight 246 & Fun Food Ideas

Did you have a nice weekend? I sure hope so. It was nice to leave this week behind and unwind since I had one of  “those” weeks last week. I’ve waited 3 months for my new dishwasher [long story…] and it finally got installed only to find it’s defective and I have to wait another month for a new one. I had also hired a handy man to work on some things around the house and he canceled, plus a variety of other irritating things. But it’s hard to complain since these are all luxury items and I have a roof over my head and a place to sleep. Right?

So let’s forget about all that and be inspired by the projects featured this week.

The Inspiration Board: Spotlight 245 & Pretty Please

Hello friends! Today is a holiday in the U.S. and thank goodness for the 3-day weekend. I got back in town Friday night and came home to a very messy house. The boys did their best – sort of – but their idea of picking up and keeping things clean are a far cry from mine. My son’s room looked and smelled like a gym locker room and the rest of the house was pretty bad too. I was not happy and on Saturday, I had all hands on deck cleaning and sanitizing the house. After cleaning, I sat down with my cup of coffee to stroll through the link ups from The Inspiration Board. Thank goodness for you guys because I was instantly transported to your homes, kitchens and craft rooms and all was well in my world again.

So enjoy these wonderful inspirational ideas featured from The Inspiration Board.
