Weekly Inspirations - Things to Read, Create, Eat & Do

by Linda

Happy Weekend, friends! It's going to be a gorgeous weekend here in Virginia, and we're going to be spending it working on home projects (do they ever end?), getting together with friends and family, and taking a trip to the pool! But, first, I wanted to share some inspirational finds from around blogland this week.

The talented, Emily, from Jones Design Company, shared a tour of her lovely home this week. She's sharing her home as part of the Summer Tour of Homes with 19 other bloggers, a full list of participating bloggers is at the bottom of the post.

It's yard sale season again, do you know the ins and outs of negotiating? Apartment Therapy shared An Introvert's Guide to Haggling Like a Pro, a must-read to get the best price on anything!

Spending time working on your yard or garden this weekend? Better Homes and Gardens shared some high-impact, low-cost ways to add Curb Appeal on a Dime. I love the idea of adding a pop of color to the home by painting the door and/or shutters a fun color (teal, anybody? how about lime?)

Made this Quinoa Caprese Salad from Little Leopard Book last night and it was an absolute hit! With tomatoes coming into season, I can see myself making this a lot over the next couple of months.

Love movies? Design Mom shared Five Summer Films, a roundup of movies she and her family want to see this Summer. This list has definitely inspired me to get a date night with my husband on the calendar! 

Have a lovely weekend!

Happy Friday, friends! We've got a lot going on this weekend including our five-year-old's last soccer game of the season (if  you haven't had the pleasure of watching young kids play soccer, you're in for a real treat-they are hilarious!) and continuing work on our kitchen remodel, but I just had to stop in and share some favorite finds for the week!

 

This post of 20 Ways to Start an Indoor Herb Garden from Brit + Co. is both timely and inspirational. I love fresh herbs in everything, and had no idea how many (attractive) indoor herb-growing options were out there!

 

There are a million reasons why I love IKEA, and here's one more! The Kitchn shared their picks for the 10 Best Kitchen Items to Buy from IKEA. I only have one item from the list, maybe this means an IKEA trip is in order?

 

On Instagram? Us, too! Vogue posted 8 Stylish Instagram Accounts to Follow. I feel more stylish just browsing through these fashionable Instagrammers feeds.

 

These Chocolate Chip Cookie S'mores? I want one (maybe two) now! Cooking Classy shares the recipe (along with some gorgeous photography).

 

Have some time to craft this weekend? Poppytalk shares 5 Pretty Weekend Projects for the Home.

Weekly Inspirations {Things to Read, Create, Eat and Do}

It's the weekend, friends! It'll be sunny and pleasant around here (hope Mother Nature is treating you as well), so our days will be filled with outdoor activity, yummy food, and maybe a trip to the (indoor, it's not that warm yet) pool. If you're in need of some inspiration as we head into the weekend, here are a few of our favorite links from this past week...

-Brooke from All Things Thrifty created this fabulous Greek Key Molding Tutorial...and she gives you the dimensions to create your own molding wall. Amazing!

-Looking for a pretty storage idea? How about a great gift? These Painted Boxes from Design Mom are just the thing. Would also make a great Craft Night project!

-Covet the texture and carefree waves that only seem possible after a day at the beach? Clementine Daily gives you the lowdown on how you can achieve the look in their post, Beach Hair 101.

-The  Sprouted Kitchen's Kale Salad with Tomatoes, Olives and Feta is the perfect Summer side dish.

-These DIY Hand Drawn Fruit and Veggie Onesies from Say Yes are simply adorable. What a cute craft idea for a baby shower!
