{ditto} DIY Challenge – My Tray
Welcome to our first {ditto} DIY challenge!
Once a month, beginning today, nine very different bloggers are attempting to recreate in our own homes a project or design element inspired by a haute couture design selected by Darlene Weir of Fieldstone Hill Design. (For more details on what {ditto}DIY is all about, check out this DIY Introduction Post.)
In addition to Darlene, the participating bloggers include:
Ruth @ Living Well Spending Less
Cindy @ Skip to My Lou
Jen @ Balancing Beauty & Bedlam
Edie @ Life in Grace
Rachel @ Surviving the Stores
Karin @ Trophy Mom Diaries
Lauren @ I am THAT Lady
Kelly @ View Along The Way
Melissa @ The Inspired Room
Remember that beginning next month (on Monday, June 3rd) we are inviting you ALL to join the {ditto} DIY challenge! Be sure to visit Darlene to catch a peek of NEXT month’s {ditto} DIY challenge so that you ALL can join the fun! (Hint: We’ll be going for the GOLD!)
In case you’ve forgotten, this was our first inspiration photograph:

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.
