TUTORIAL TIPS AND TIDBITS #9


Welcome to TUTORIAL TIPS AND TIDBITS! All of you have been very busy! You have been painting and rearranging and baking and updating and planting and gluing and sewing and stacking and getting ready for fall! There is so much creativity going on in blogland!

Here are just a couple featured blogs from last week's TTT ...



Last week's most viewed post was this beautiful WEATHERED CARRIER from Karen at SHABBY SWEET COTTAGE. What a gorgeous photograph too!




A $15.00 desk was turned into this stunning CARD CATALOG VANITY at DEAR EMMERLINE. Isn't that color striking... and look at the drawer pulls!!!!



Most of us have an old tray lying around... and Barbara from 21 ROSEMARY LANE transformed her's into this chic WINE CORK SERVING TRAY. I am saving my wine corks!




Here is a great idea to use up all the herbs growing like weeds in the garden! BUSY MOM'S MENU PLAN has a TRIO OF HERBED BUTTER that looks delicious. The great thing about herb butter is that it is so freezer friendly.... and can be added to so many dishes!




Look at this unique and swoon worthy bridal bouquet from ELIZABETH & CO.! These BROOCH BOUQUETS are becoming increasingly popular... they are so individual and magnificent!!! Make sure you check out the adorable couple and some other great wedding tips!




Many of you know that I LOVE LOVE LOVE tablescapes! Sarah at HYACINTHS FOR THE SOUL shows us how to set a SASSY TABLE using black and white with a pop of color!





Entryways can become landing spots for clutter! Not at Jenn's at CLEAN AND SCENTSIBLE! She has an ORGANIZED FRONT ENTRY that is welcoming and clutter free!





This week I am giving you the THE BEST PAINTING TIP YOU WILL EVER GET... REALLY! I recently went to an ASCP painting class and learned something that will effect every piece of furniture I paint... I am thrilled to share it with you!

  26. I have really enjoyed looking at the tips offered by so many bloggers out there! Your features this week are really great!!! I just can't believe how some people are blessed with the patience to do so many DIY things!!! They need to channel some of that energy and skill my way! That desk, for instance, is spectacular!!! The painting tip falls right in line with that one! And I love the wine cork tray! I have literally hundreds of wine corks saved up (don't judge!), so I think I'll give it a try! I haven't contributed a tip or tidbit yet because I haven't had anything worthy the last several weeks. My day shall come, though! :-) Have a great weekend, Yvonne!
