By Kate Riley November 22, 2013

Hello hello and welcome to the weekend! We will be busy getting the house ready for family arriving next week, and I’ll be adding some holiday touches to the house (I can never wait until after Thanksgiving…) Today is another round of ‘Best of the Blogosphere’ and Amanda and I rounded up some favorites, enjoy!

It’s amazing what a little bit of print can do for an alcove, take a cue from Cassie at Hi Sugarplum and add some wrapping paper to your nook or niche.

Amanda is delivering her baby next week so we’ve decided this is the last BOTB of the year. We will be back in January with this bimonthly series but you can still get your fill over at Best of DIY where Amy and I post a Daily DIY, there’s also a lot of new features from the past two weeks…

  5. thanks for the mention, kate! that little nook already looks different since I attacked the chest with paint this weekend…in a surprising color. (did you expect any different from me?!) :) Thanks for including me in this great roundup, and happy thanksgiving to your beautiful family!

  6. I love the idea of your best of DIY site, but unless I read your post with links to it on the day you write it, I can never find any of the things in the pictures you post. Is there a way you could either have the pictur linked to the actual post? Or even a search function on the DIY site (if there is one, I can’t find it) where I can search for the exact titles of the projects?
