Materials and the sequence of the job sit together on this page.
Welcome to July! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday and are finding creative ways to beat the heat. Around here, we are staying busy (but not necessarily cool!) with our newest project: our new house! Because where would we Bekob be without a new old house to remodel?
It is definitely going to keep us busy, but I will do my best to share updates here as I can. Thank goodness for our solid contributor team and our memorable guests who can help give you your daily dose of Handmade while we are busy ripping out carpet… and everything else. If you want to keep up on the play by play of the remodel and other tidbits, be sure that you follow me over on Instagram — you can follow our blog account at @Bekob or I’ve created a personal account @cassandjustin if you want to follow our family adventures.
On the blog, our big thing last month was Headboard Week! But since most of it was actually in July, I’m going to save the recap for next month’s post and just send you over here to look at all of the great features, inspiration, tutorials, and link-ups
And, in preparation for our new home projects — because research is so important in any venture, right? — we checked out our local Parade of Homes. I shared a few of the pictures from my go-to homes here, but I hope to share more soon (and I’ve been sharing a bunch over on Instagram, too). This one has been really popular:
Home Decor Inspiration and More
We (obviously) really love the creativity that we see all around the blogosphere, and we love sharing that with you all here. look at 25 Handmade planters, large and small, indoor and outdoor:
