The {ditto} DIY Challenge:
Create your own painted tray and vanity vignette.
Here is my first {ditto}DIY project:
My Tray
I loved this challenge because it had me pulling special items out of my drawers and closets! I purchased these glass and metal hurricanes while living in Germany. There was a little shop in a redone barn that I loved to visit. Just looking at them brings back such wonderful memories. I also forgot how much I like kaleidoscopes (and how many I had). I pulled them out of a drawer and now everyone can enjoy them! My tray was also the perfect spot for the antique glass flower vase with a ‘frog’ type lid that a sweet friend just game me. I love decorating with items that have meaning. I feel it brings warmth and personality to a room.
Isn’t it time you added some DESIGNER GOLD to your home? Head over to our Interior Designer to find out the details on YOUR {ditto} DIY challenge for June.
And get ready to join in on the Huge Link-up fun JUNE 3rd! Your project will be linked up to each and every awesome blogger on the list!”

You could possibly certainly see your knowledge of this artwork you write. The field desires for a lot more enthusiastic internet writers such as you whom will not be frightened to bring up that they imagine. Constantly pursue your own heart.

Beautiful display! I love pulling out old decor that I’d forgotten about. Your whole vignette with the candles and flowers just feels so relaxing and calm. Love!

It’s beautiful!! One day, when I don’t have 2 and 5 year olds that knock everything down, I’d love to have something like this on my living room coffee table!
