DIY Ideas For Hanging Curtains and Saving Some Money

DIY Ideas For Hanging Curtains and Saving a Little Money too!

Hello, and Welcome back to LilacsNDreams! I just love DIY ideas, don't you? If I can use what I have at home, from thrift stores, second hand stores, and etc to give our home it's own character I will do it. I enjoy the low cost of doing this, and after saving money with some of these home projects it gives me more to spend some where else. Now, that is something I like!

Above you will see a couple of pictures that I had found with Pinterest again. That place is really cool. So many ideas, and instructions being shared there it is very addictive. You could spend all day looking, looking, and doing some more looking to make some notes, or as many do bookmark things too. You should give it a visit some time if you haven't already. I will worn you though, it can be addictive. 

The first picture above is from DIYideas.com. What they did there was use some napkin rings, and some ribbon. They added to curtains of their choice, and made these. I like the idea of napkin rings as there is generally a good selection of those in colors, shapes, sizes, designs, and etc. Ribbon is always a good touch to add to many things. With this method you could be creative as you can with the picture below it too. That second picture came from bhg.com. Another good place to find some ideas that are shared too. With these curtains they used to make a ring for them they used ribbon only, and tied a little bow to them. Great concept as you could use any color of ribbon, texture, and design. 

What is great with this method of doing curtains is when you feel the need for a change you won't always have to change your curtains. Instead you could just change the ribbons being used, change the napkin rings, shower curtains rings, and you get the picture. 

So, for those who like to do their own thing at home, save a penny or two doing it, this is another method of adding to your list of to dos, list of ideas, and all those wonderful notes that we all make for ourselves. I hope you enjoyed this idea shared with you, and that you find it helpful with the dressing of your homes. Hey, if you have something else that you use it would be great to hear about it, and we would enjoy having you share it here with all of us too. 

Thanks so much for sharing your time with LilacsNDreams everyone. Hope you enjoyed the visit, and it would be great to see you again. Take care till the next time!

Cupcake Holder, Food Stand Organizer, Single Plate Stand

Cupcake Holder makes a wonderful coffee bar with storage for that cup of coffee. This 3 tier cupcake holder stand has many possibilities for it's use. 

Another way to use a single plate stand. Store some of your sweet smelling perfumes, and sprays in the bathroom. Also, would be great for your dressers too.

 Here is another Food Stand organizer shown with organization for the bathroom. This 2 tier food stand organizer has many possibilities for use in the home.

Cupcake Holder, Food Stand Organizer, and the Single Plate Stand is shown here with these pictures. 

Hey, Welcome back to LilacsNDreams, and glad to have you stopping by! Above you will see pictures that I found when in roaming on Pinterest. A lot of my interest over these past few months has been with making these different stands. I adore the many ways that others also share of how they can come together, and what they can actually be considered for with use of them. 

Thinking outside the box is just so much fun when it comes to repurposing, upcycling, recycling, and reusing different pieces, don't you think? All sorts of different pieces can come together to make many things to accompany us with our homes with our decor, and for use too. 

These stands are great for organizing, serving, displaying with, and using as some of our home decor. They are great when used at the table with wedding decor, at bridal showers, and just so many things to consider for their use. 

Most common things you will see these different stands used for is as cake stand, cupcake stand, dessert pedestal stand, etc. Use to serve some cookies, truffles, candies, mints, cake, cupcakes, and some fruit too. Maybe consider them with your home decor as candle holders, soap dishes, in the bathroom with some rolled cloths for your guests, jewelry dish, a catch all for your change, keys, and reading glasses too. Excellent to use for organizing in your kitchens, in the bathrooms, on the dresser and vanities, in your office, and so many endless possibilities. 

So, for all you thrifters and junkers when you are out, and about doing your thing maybe consider finding some pieces to make some of these for your homes, given as gifts, and etc. I enjoy making pieces with endless possibilities to be shared, don't you?

Hey, thanks again for sharing your time here with LilacsNDreams everyone. Happy to have you dropping by, and hope to see you again soon. Take care, and have a beautiful week!

Have a Yabba Dabba Doo Friday Everyone

Dropping by to wish all of you a Yabba Dabba Doo Friday!! Have a wonderful day, and wishing you all a super weekend too! Take care, and see you all next week:)

Chairs Repurposed Up Down and Upside Down

Chairs Repurposed Up, Down, and Upside Down. 

Welcome to LilacsNDreams everyone! I was really excited when I found this roaming on Pinterest again. You know, that place is really neat to visit, get ideas from, see who else shares some of your same tastes, neat place to roam, and I will warn you it can be addictive too. 

Ok, back to this picture I am sharing, and what it is showing you. As you can see with the top picture these are white folding chairs that are being used. They display how the chairs are hung, and then opened. When they are opened it is amazing the ideas shown to use in organizing a closet, a wall, a room, and so on. Actually, this would be a neat way to take a small area, and make a "walk in" closet too. Hang the chairs, unfold them, use the seat as a shelf, and the bar or foot rest area of the chair you can use to hang clothes from. Now, this isn't saying this is the only way you could use these folding chairs, but it sure opens a door to some really neat ideas don't it? If you wish to see pictures just a little bit bigger visit YICONGLU where the pictures came from originally that I traced back to.

As you can see I have been in the mood to roam the internet, and find some neat ideas with repurposing, upcycling, recycling, and reusing things. I just love diy projects, and the things that everyone shares too.

Hey, I want to thank you all for sharing your time with LilacsNDreams! I really appreciate it, and I hope to see you all again soon. You are always welcome to drop me a line, or leave a comment too. I love sharing, and hearing from everyone!

Take care now, and see you all again soon. Have a sweet Thursday.

Recycled Crib Into a Storage Shelf Unit

Recycled Crib Into a Storage Shelf Unit is fantastic looking, and how neat too!

Welcome back to LilacsNDreams everyone, glad to have you hopping on by. I have been catching up with things, listing things at Ebay to clean house a bit, and of course during this time I like to roam the internet as well. I will visit different blogs, shops everyone sells with, and Pinterest is also another place of interest to visit with too. 

I so enjoy seeing DIY projects done by many other talented people. I enjoy seeing all the pictures, the instructions that are shared with some projects, and I really like looking at all the pictures which also gives me ideas, and more ideas to note. By the way, my notes are growing, notebooks are filling up, and I have not done any projects yet. I think it's a winter thing. I feel more alive working on projects when it is nice out, I can be outside with fresh air, in the garage painting, and well....you know what I mean, right?

Above you will see a picture that was found at Pinterest, and the picture belongs to Shelterness.com too. I have seen other cribs that have been upcycled, but this one today caught my eye. I like the piece of glass that was set on top of it making that table top for it. I like how they organized the shelves underneath, and this is one piece I would not have first guessed it to be a crib at one point. Simple project that turned out looking natural as it is now, don't you think? 

So, have any of you completed any projects lately? Or, are you like me making your notes, accumulating your notes, and waiting for good weather too? I found some other good little projects to be sharing too. I will try to squeeze some of those in with other things I also share here too. 

Hope you enjoyed your visit toady everyone. I want to thank you for stopping, and sharing your time with LilacsNDreams. I always enjoy the visits, and I look forward to seeing you all again soon. Take care, and have a wonderful Wednesday. Happy Hump Day All!!
