I found the cutest blog today. iDiY is dedicated to weddings but they have so many cute ideas that could be used in everyday life. These hand soap labels are adorable and I would love to make some just for little ol' me. Check out their DIY Tutorials and Freebies/Downloads/ sections.

my what a pretty window...
This is absolutely genius! I love fancy window films (see "j'taime" and "window lace"), but with the fancy comes the pricey. Or at least until now! With Design*Sponge's diy instructions, I can just make my own with regular clear contact paper and white paint! Love, love, love it.

write that down...
I have the cutest little matchbook notepad from a restaurant in NYC called Cafe Gitane. An adorable notepad to match an adorable restaurant. Definitely go if you are ever near Mott Street! Seriously. I'm not joking.
I have been hesitant to even use the notepad because I don't want my memento run out! I don't know why I didn't think of just replacing the pages or for that matter, making more! All those cute matchbooks that pile up in junk drawers can now be put to good use with this tutorial from Design*Sponge.

what a nice place to lay your head...
I wish I was skilled enough to make this "Snow Mum" pillow by Amy Butler. If you happen to be...she has the pattern available to download, as well as others up on her site.

a spot for that glass of water...
This shelf idea from Design Sponge is pure genius. Magazine holder turns to shelf just with a couple screws, love it. There isn't room for a nightstand in my bedroom and this could be just the fix!

felt this...
My drinking glasses always stick to the coasters that we currently own and so I was very excited when I saw these diy coasters from Design Sponge. Cute, not sticky, and totally able to make myself!

save those corks...
These wine cork key chains from Renga Arts would be a perfect diy project! Plus they could be cute memento of a fun evening with the girls or with your sweetheart.

diy weekend...
before:
after:
I reorganized and decorated my bathroom medicine cabinet over the weekend. I have never been able to find cute contact paper until Sunday at Target. I think the cabinet looks worlds better and makes me smile every time I open it.

Wouldn't this be totally adorable spray painted red or some other vibrant color?

This post goes out to my friend B because I know she owns a cakestand and what "stitch 'n bitcher" wouldn't want to make her very own?! Check out Design*Sponge for instructions!

How fun is this idea by Blueprint? And you don't even have to sew!
