Ballard Design Knock-off Drying Rack

I'm a little envious of this nice looking drying rack inside Inspiration For Moms laundry room.  It sure beats the rope that hangs across the middle of my laundry room:(    I want this!!!!

Wednesday Party Highlights

I missed posting some party highlights this week because my computer was not cooperating! Here are a few lovely projects that I would love to see in my house or do!

I want a couple shelves filled with these Restoration Hardware industrial basket knock-offs at my house. I have quite a few shelves that would more stylish with these babies! Blissfully Ever After is the creator of these!

Have the style of Ballard Design without the high cost by building these cafe shelves by yourself. Great tutorial by That Village House.


I'm loving how A Little Tipsy glammed up her builder grade bathroom mirror by adding some frosting around the edges. (That sounds funny!) Pretty, Pretty frosted-edged mirror!

Check out these gorgeous skinny ruffled headbands at Flamingo Toes! So pretty and feminine.

I've never met a kid who didn't like to play in water with their hands. This water wall looks like so much fun! A Family That Birds Together has some happy children because of this contraption!

Last night while surfing through the blogasphere I came across this amazing lampshade.  Beauty in the Attempt saw a lampshade like this at Pottery Barn and decided she could make it without the cost and also personalize it more for her and her husband.  She took letters that her husband wrote her and transferred them to the lampshade for their bedroom.  This is only the protype, I cannot wait to see what the end result looks like!!  I going to try this for sure, cannot wait to try it!!

Look at this close up and see the detail!

 
The Virginia House made this letter similar to the ones in the Ballard Designs catalog.  She did such an amazing job, it would be a great addition to any room, go check it out HERE!  Thanks for the inspiration!!

Have a great EASTER!!!  I hope you eat lots of ham and have a fun filled day with family!!!
