Perhaps these inspirational ideas seem extra special because it's an extra special week! We hit 1 million page views this past weekend. And today we hit 2,000 Facebook friends in our community. Know what else today is? The 1 year anniversary of Blue Velvet Chair! Join me in a virtual toast to the BVC blog - past, present, and future!
Until next time...

DeleteI love the recycled bookshelf, I know it's not easy to do but I would like to try. :)
ReplyDeleteIsn't that bookshelf interesting? You'd have to really work to make sure and have the right size books, etc. Do share with us if you try it - I would love to see and I know others would too.
DeleteCongratulations and happy anniversary! I am loving all of those inspiring ways to upcycle, thanks!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! And pass the cake! :)
ReplyDeleteSo that's why I've been saving all those lids...
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your success!
I love the table and the book shelf but the Barbie necklace really freaks me out. :-)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your success!! Your passion is inspiring.
Except for the Barbies which freaked me out, as well, they were all cool. I really love that first wall unit -- unique and useful!
