I Want to Try This

I have been working like crazy on my entry and decided to take a Pinterest break. I know you know what I am talking about. Since spring is just around the corner, I am feeling the love for fresh happy colors. 

Here are three things I want to try when the spray paining weather returns. 

How fun are these hangers?

This is the best idea for old silverware...just dip it in paint.

Fun colored branches...so easy, I feel stupid for pinning it.

Pinterest, could not find original source
I just noticed that the wall panel detail is almost exactly like the one I am hacking away at.

All of these, and a whole bunch more stuff is on my Crafty Ideas Pinterest board. Has Pinterest inspired you to actually do something....other than pinning?

Those hangers are on my list for the next time I get bored.

I love those hangers. Matthew and I use wooden hangers now and I keep thinking it would be such fun to spray paint them. Well mine anyway. I don't want the heat of waiting for some neon dust to show up on his suits :)

I was just pinning away a bunch of neon stuff last night- love those hangers!

I love the color in your pins. I don't find myself doing many of the DIY projects, though I like to see them. I do cook some of the things I have pinned and have knitted one or two things though.

I pinned the silverware, it's on my list for Easter! I love all your springy garden pins as of late! :)

I love the styling in that last image! Pinterest is a lovely way to get inspired, for sure. It also makes me hungry when I look at recipes, makes me want to shop when I look at clothes, and makes me want to tweak my decor when I look at interiors! Have a great weekend Linda, and good luck with your projects!

My DIY board is so full of fabulous ideas that if I di one a day I couldn't do them all! These are fun and simple, maybe that's what I should be pinning!

Love the idea of those hangers. That would work perfectly in a coat closet. Then everyone could have their own color. You think that would eliminate any of the arguing that always happens when getting ready to leave the house? One can dream.

Kim said...

Pinterest makes me want to DIY EVERYTHING!! It really makes me crazed I want to do so much. Love these pops of color and I am pinning them all!! xo

Sadie + Stella said...

Absolutely adore the hangers! I need to spray paint some sticks myself. Hmmmmm.

I am usually not crafty-- actually I avoid being crafty at all costs now after trying to be for so long-- but those hangers in the first image...would be a great punch of color in Lillian's closet!! Take care, Caroline

I would consider the hangers especially in a coat closet. Maybe ombre?!

Kristen said...

Love the dipped silverware! I just may give those a try.

Jessica said...

These look like fun! I love the hangers. I just saw a thing on Buzzfeed about brightly colored kitchen utensils; they had wooden spoons with painted handles that I want to DIY.

I pin all kinds of stuff, but Pinterest mostly inspires me to make food.

Fletcher @ High Cotton Style said...

Those hangers look so fun! How cure would they be in a child's closet-or mine?

Karen at Home Sweet Hollywood said...

Pinterest makes everything look so fun. But in reality I'm not sure I've ever painted anything that I didn't at some point regret. Or maybe that's just me, and I am definitely not a DIYer or a designer. It's just so hard to un-paint stuff so I'm a scaredy-cat! :)

Everything Nancy said!

Vel Criste said...

I'm still pinning, have yet to do something! I have a project inspired by YHL book though, I'm posting tomorrow, DIY Monogrammed pillows! :-)

Carol@TheDesignPages said...

I'm totally with you. I want colour, colour, colour. So sick of winter and gray skies.

Kim@Chattafabulous said...

Oh good Lord. There are hundreds of things I've pinned thinking "I'm gonna try that" and I have not yet done one project. But someday....

Love the flatware idea. I wonder if you could dip them in metallic gold paint. I wonder how that would turn out? I may have to try it. - Brandy

Amal -- Sybaritic Spaces said...

Cute projects. I wish I had time to put my hand to it...Can't wait to see how the entry way is progressing!! xo Amal

Tiffany said...

My head could explode thinking about all of the potential fun ideas to tackle. Life was less complicated before pinterest.

Albertina M. Cisneros said...

I want to do the hanger one too! I have it in my TO DO list..... This helps me get motivated on that front!

Sonia LifeLoveandHiccups said...

Ok You have just added three things to my To Do List as well! Love all those ideas. xz
