  1. Good Morning Amanda and Kate –

    I always look forward to this Sunday post. How exciting to have my hanger trick featured. XO ! I hope you have a wonderful Sunday.

    My best- Diane

  2. Thanks for the feature, Kate! I can’t wait to jump on these ladies’ blogs today and tell them how great their projects / makeovers are!

  3. What lovely features! I too love the color combo and eclectic texture going on at at June&Bear. Ashleys Unicorn blew me away! It’s like the girl whipped it up out of thin air!?! She is too talented ;)

  4. Think Marco Polo, Magellan, Hudson, Hubble ~ thank you, Centsational Girl, for blazing the trail for those of us just entering this ungainly, sometime-overwhelming, ever-expanding empire of virtual ingenuity!

  5. Ohmygosh!! I canNOT believe I made it to the Best of the Blogosphere list!! This is kinda a big deal! As a follower, I am so excited and blown away! Thank you!!

  6. Love that Avett Brother’s quote in the June&Bear sign (“decide what to be and go be it”.) Those guys are awesome.

  7. Love that living room–especially the plaque over the doorway!

    I have to confess: I initially read your one line as, “Diane at In My Own Style shares her innovative trick for making no-slip hangovers…”

    It’s 6am my time, but clearly I’m already thinking about my wine at 6PM!
