Friday Favorites: Pink Doors and Pergolas

Materials and the sequence of the job sit together on this page.

Happy Friday! I hope you’ve all had an memorable week and are finding someplace cool to lounge in the heat like we are doing! Popsicles all around

We have some really fun link party features and other Friday Favorites today — but first, a little bit of business:

First of all: be sure to build this new clearly straightforward kids bookshelf!

Secondly: look at Turning Tables Handmade Week, a full week of Handmade table projects.

Okay, now we can get on to our Friday Favorites. Link up your projects below to be featured next week!

go-to summer hangout: I only wish I could go hang out with Lauren at Stillwater Farm! She shared this recent picture of her pergola (which she shared the walkthrough for here) and it’s just so well fitted! Be sure to go follow her @mrslaurenash on Instagram to see more of her striking home. 

go-to she-did-it project: I love seeing projects like this, built lovingly by a DIYer. Isn’t this island by Queen Bee of Honeydos great?

go-to art activity: Fix This Build That made this acrylic easel with kids in mind, but I would have a blast as well! And wouldn’t it be fun to have someone stand behind while you “paint” their face? 

go-to wreath alternative: Wreaths can be great, but I love seeing flower displays like this pretty basket at Love of Home. 

go-to fun door color: Would you put this bright lipstick pink front door on your house? It looks great with a neutral colored siding and black shutters — plus a matching hanging flower basket, of course! 

go-to reason to go BOLD: Blue I Style used a bold cement tile in her bathroom backsplash, and while it doesn’t go with the spa feel that I personally love, it is striking!

go-to reason to stay neutral ;): Shades of Blue Interiors‘ bathroom makeover is a little more my neutral style — isn’t it funny how two rooms can be so different but yet still both lovely? This is why I love home decor, so much to appreciate. 

go-to breakfast nook: There’s just so much to love in Nina Hendrick‘s breakfast nook! I would love a space like this.
