New Year, New Ideas

With the new year comes some new ideas for projects around the house. Since the rush of Christmas is over and it seems as if we will be spending more time inside due to the lovely weather, I spent some time searching new projects I would like to try this year.

You might have noticed I added a couple new blogs to watch and they are really awesome! Here are some of my top picks to try:








Rain gutter bookshelves from http://www.familyfun.com/. How cute are these? A great solution to our overflowing selection of books!





Even though New Years is over I would love to make some banners for some of the upcoming holidays like Valentines and Easter. This would be super cute in the shapes of hearts or eggs. Just a little something to spruce up the kitchen and get us to Spring. From http://thecreativeitchboutique.blogspot.com/




















A great idea from http://www.howdoesshe.com/. I really need to focus on making more meals at home and this dinner questions jar is a great idea to get conversations going about our day. This blog is soooo cute. Check it out if you have time.















This is an old dresser drawer turned into a ribbon organizer. While I don't find myself buried in ribbon I have always thought these were cute. Plus you should check out what she did with the dresser that the door came from. http://www.bluecricketdesign.net/














This project display board from http://makeitandloveit.blogspot.com/ could easily find a home by our door to the garage. What a great place to hang notes, bills, and other stuff that needs to be taken along in the morning, but is usually forgotten.












http://www.simplymodernmom.com/ posted about using knobs as hooks when decorating your walls. So cute for frames or this display art projects from school. Anything to get them off of the counter and desk tops!!

I really want to start all of these right now, plus the 20 others that I found! But, I have to remember that winter is only just beginning and I have plenty of time (you know, days where the sun goes down by 4:30) to work on some of these. We'll see what I get done and of course, I will let you know how it goes! Have a great weekend everyone!!
