BEST OF THE NEST LINK PARTY {7}

Well, you got an extra few days, so I hope you're ready to link up something fabulous for this month's Best of the Nest!

I actually accomplished several things in July, after a wash-out in June...darn Summer and vacations! ;)  The project I was happiest to cross off of my list was finally completing the makeover of my son's room, since it's been dragging on for a few years, literally!

Kris shared some very helpful tips on making a bouquet of fresh flowers last as long as possible.  I found it especially useful for keeping hydrangeas in a vase, since I've never had good luck keeping them pretty and fresh for very long after I cut them.

Lisa's up to her old tricks of magically transforming furniture and repurposed this normal little cart into a handy grilling cart for her husband to use when he's firing up the grill.  Then, she kicked it up a notch higher with the fabulous custom graphics on top.  I'll be right over for dinner!

After bringing home 2 new accessories from Goodwill, Pam freshened up her entire living room for Summer!  I'm dying over the lamp she found, and am certain I would have arm wrestled her for it if we had been shopping together.  It's probably best we live in different states.  ;)

I hope you all have a fantastic weekend.  We're painting the ceiling...fun!  (Not!)  Actually, I am really looking forward to it being done, though.  It's phase one of our huge painting project before we do the walls in a few more weeks.  I *think* I've chosen a color...
