I absolutely adore this steampunk bunny, which started with two spoon handles leftover from another creation. Julia from Vintage With Laces has a real talent for putting together just the right pieces, making her junk creations come alive with personality… and GrEgg Hopper certainly has that. Be sure to hop on over to check him out.

 Tania at Little Vintage Cottage flipped a sad little three dollar side table elegantly.  Originally it had fold down sides which when extended made it into a round table.  One of the folding sides was loose and wouldn’t stay upright so Tania removed the folding sides resulting in an adorable triangle side table.  She added gold polka dots which made it all the more special.  Hop over to see Tania’s charming  Triangle Side Table Makeover.

It’s that time of year when new blooms appear daily and in my opinion, nothing can compete with nature’s palette. Elaine at Heart Rocks in My Pocket has added beauty and stunning color to her home by creatively decorating with spring flowers.  I love that she kept her display simple and allowed the vibrant buds to be the focal point.  Drop by and check out her lovely handiwork!

      Thanks so much Lauren! I’m sorry you can’t find a button on your phone. I don’t really know how that all works. There’s a subscribe area on my contact page if that helps. Thanks for sharing your TV stand at the party. It’s a great repurpose!
