Hello all and Happy Labor Day weekend everyone! We’re spending a few days down in San Diego visiting some family and hanging out at the beach, soaking up the sunshine on the last summer weekend. I helped my stepdaughter fix up her first off campus college room yesterday and snapped a few pics of the space, will share this week!
Meanwhile, it’s "best of the blogosphere" weekend again where Amanda and I scout out our favorite picks to share them here, enjoy these amazing spaces and clever projects!

There’s a fun, functional, and stylish study space in the Just a Night Owl home.
Hide an eyesore in your home with built-in Billy bookcases from Living with Lindsay.
We love this basement media space reveal from Evolution of Style.
Plank applications add such great texture to a space – you’ll love the plank ceiling by The Idea Room and the horizontal plank wall by Domestic Imperfection.
These painted baskets by the Marion House Book add a global vibe to your space and the creations were all achieved with painter’s tape!
Window screens transform into a laundry hamper over at Country Home.
We love the industrial style towel bar on House of Wood’s multitasking workbench console and the price tag was considerably less than her Pottery Barn inspiration piece.
Here’s a resourceful use of a pallet – as a rolling play table by Desert Willow Lane.
Impress guests at your next dinner party with a paint stick table runner in a herringbone pattern from Ruffled.
Everyone with a kitty cat will be excited to see how to make this cat scratching post by Allison at Dream A Little Bigger.
We will all be using brass gilding on our hardware now that Natty by Design showed us her beautiful results.

Craft an origami business or gift card holder with How About Orange.

Wow! I always love your BOTB posts, and was thrilled and flattered to be included in this week’s round up! Thanks so much for featuring my basement!
I love that navy blue nursery! We in the process of decorating a navy nursery also =)
so may fabulous ideas! I love the herringbone table runner most of all!
I always hoped of of my projects would make it into BOTB…never dreamed it would be my in-progress plank wall! Thanks so much for including it!
I love the features, especially the planked ceiling. We are thinking of covering our kitchen ceiling and I wanted to go with this instead of the beadboard which is what my husband wants. I love the beadboard but we already have it as wainscoting in the room and I thought it would be overkill! I’m a new follower!
I just have to thank you for your BOTB posts every month. I find them to be so helpful. I hope you continue doing them because they are wonderful. You both truly find some great stuff!!!! Thank you!
Wow! So fun to see my kitchen ceiling here. Thanks so much for sharing it. Love these roundups! I am always so inspired!
