BOTB 8.21.11

By Kate Riley August 21, 2011

Greetings all, happy weekend, it’s time for another round of ‘Best of the Blogosphere’.  My pal Amanda and I rounded up some inspiring finds, we hope you enjoy! 

How cool is this twig chandelier?  Modeled after some swankier more expensive versions hung in designer spaces, Miss Bee pulled off a stunner!

Beckie built this jewelry organizer from an abandoned crib she found on the side of a road.  We’re loving this bright yellow color too.

Chris at Just A Girl used free laminate floor samples from a home improvement store to create custom wood lookalike coasters, so inventive!
