I have mostly a love relationship with Pinterest because the ideas that people have in this world are amazing and I love having a place where I can keep them all organized!! The only time I seem to loathe pinterest is when clicking on a pin and it leads to nowhere…that’s when Google Image Search comes into play, but that’s another post (or if you can’t wait I can let you know in an email)! I have a few boards on Pinterest, but one specifically for DIYs, some I’ve tried and some I’m looking forward to trying!! Fun round-up below!
Home & Kitchen

Four DIYs that I think would be really easy to recreate – especially the faux marble console!
I was absolutely amazed that the microwave cleaning trick worked and not only that but it was amazingly clean. Below is not my microwave, but pretty close to how it looked! The lemon trick was another one that blew me away!
You might also remember that we tackled a big DIY and created our own bar cart using this IKEA hack.

The problem I have is that I see the vision for what I want to create, but can’t always bring it into the real world, thank god for Pinterest right!? Anything that involves glitter, I’m all over it!
I did a few DIY projects for my wedding and the one that I was most proud of was the custom “now entering” signs we created for each table! I also didn’t want to throw away all the cards we received for the wedding and from my bridal shower so I found a great DIY to keep them neatly in place!
Are you a fan of DIYs you’ve found on Pinterest? Were any a complete disaster?!
xo,
I spray painted a lamp in my office and it turned out beautifully with the help of Pinterest. I also get the BEST cleaning tips from Pinterest. I found one that cleans rings that is my absolute favorite! Great roundup of pins!

i love anything diy. i used to do mostly ones on the blog years ago. i think the last one i did was the press for champagne sign!
I'm with you–Pinterest is the best and the worst! The faux marble console….umm, I'm gonna need to read that because that one looks legit like marble! Ive been trying my hand at more and more DIY projects since buying our house, but some of them I'm just nervous to try. It helps having a DIY partner in crime haha
Have a great day doll!!
Love Pinterest!! Need to try the lemon trick! Thanks.

I love Pinterest! Like everyone else I have a whole board of DIY stuff. I recently tried to make tassel garland for my daughters b-day. The tissue was perfect. The mylar… 100% fail.. Love that lemon trick!
I love DIYs and especially getting inspired by Pinterest! I love the bokeh background using the computer I'm so going to have to try that!! The glitter candle thing I've been wanting to try on an old prom glass with writing on it to cover it up and the mason jars with paint and glitter I just haven't made the time.
oh my gosh you're so cute. i have no patience for this stuff BUT it doesn't mean i don't appreciate it 🙂 i do enjoy that photo trick with the bokeh, though 🙂 xo

These are great! I'm especially loving the glittery candle holders, so pretty!
So many cute ones. I may have to try the sofa arm rest DIY. The photo trick is brilliant! Going to have to try that one.
I get super upset when a pin leads to no where too… so frustrating! Loving these pins, I need to try the lemon trick in my shower, and those glitter bombed makeup brush holders are gorgeous 😀
great ideas! i really need to try some of the DIY things i pin! xo jillian – cornflake dreams
Love all of these! If you do that marbling you must tell me how it went and if it was easy or not. It's so cute! I did the glitter mason jars but silly me did the glitter on the OUTSIDE instead of the inside. Oops. But the good part is none of the glitter has come off and I don't end up with glitter all over everything LOL!
pinterest is the best for ideas, esp the home hacks. i love that microwave trick!!
I don't use Pinterest enough. I do for recipes but never do any of the home improvement things I pin!
Ally – Life as I know it
Love all of these! I definitely need that couch armrest table thing and I've always done that microwave thing. It's the best. I of course have a entire board of diy ideas that I need to revisit when I'm feeling creative!
I was going to do glitter cases for my wedding, but had no time… It came out pretty well though! I've done the photo coasters too, and that came out easy too!!
These are all awesome, thanks so much for sharing. I need to try the microwave and lemon trick for sure.
Love the glittery DIYs, so super pretty.
Also, LOVE your signs at your wedding. We did signature table numbers as well. Ours were similar to yours, as they were all places that were important to us!
I have SO many DIY projects pinned, but I think I've only done like three of them, lol! I also put all my wedding cards together like the one that you showed here – such an easy and cute way to keep them all together! I kind of love that dry erase To Do list with the paint chips – that may have to happen for my new office.
I have a love hate relationship with Pinterest! I mostly love it though. I love all the DIY stuff as well, I was on it almost all day searching for DIY projects for my upcoming Stock the Bar Party and found like 3 DIY decorations I have already went out and bought the goods for! I am so excited, now hopefully they turn out the way they looked on Pinterest!
I love Pinterest DIY’s, but don’t do them as often as I’d like. My mom has made adorable projects from there and of course her’s all turn out fabulous. I need to do the microwave one!
I've been pinterest obsessed lately! Loving all of these! That little table on the sofa arm is such a cute idea!

I so love pinterest. I could spend hours on there. You can learn so much. I love finding good cleaning tips.
I just pinned basically all of these and am itching to spend my day doing these instead of work 😉
These are all great! That one using the color swatches is genius!!!
Great ideas! I like the glitter ideas the best though hehe. I also love doing craft projects. It is also amazing how Pinterest has shown you how much cheaper it is to make certain things. I hope that you are having a good day so far!! 🙂
The dragonfly color one is so cute!!! I love anything glitter related as well…..just not the mess it leaves lol
I've done the glitter jar DIY with an old candle container from B&BW! It was so simple and looks totally gorgeous!
Oh Pinterest… 🙂 I swear, it's the best thing ever. I love the paint sample DIY's, too cool. And the image background on the computer, genius!
I haven't done too many Pinterest DIY's but I have a whole board filled with them, ha! The microwave one really does work and I've been meaning to do the faux marble countertop – I love that!
So many fun ideas! I have a whole craft board on pinterest and I have only done like 2 of them haha!

I love all of the ones that you recapped. I really love the thank you cards. I am a firm believer in snail mail and how cute to make the cards yourself. I have a 'Things I want to do' Pinterest board and I have many things in there, but am semi intimidated to try them. I know I shouldn't be. This post gave me some inspiration to just do them, so thank you!
Great ideas! Need to try some of these theprinsloodiaries.blogspot.co.uk/
You are so creative to do a DIY bar cart! I love this idea! The dragonfly cutouts with the paint swatches, too, so fabulous for everything! Pinterest totally always has me thinking, of course! Why didn't I think of that! So creative! 🙂
Oh my gosh, that bar cart is perfect!!
you're so crafty! I love all these ideas, so glad I found your blog!
So many good ideas! I need to make a post like this too because I always pin stuff and then rarely go back and do anything I've pinned! The first one is such a good idea- I'm always balancing my mugs or bowls on the edge of our couch!
Such cute ideas! Love the dragonfly thank you cards!
These are great! Thanks for sharing, B! I have to try that microwave cleaning tip!
Oooo this gets me in the crafting mood like no other!! I'm really curious about the faux marble console- love it!
Ooh, I love the glitter and pantone calendar DIYs! I am so bad about pinning pins and never trying them out. I really need to actually do some of the DIYs I have pinned. Haha!
These are all fantastic! I need to make some glitter makeup brush holders soon!

I am so not crafty. Painting furniture and reusing items elsewhere is about as into it as I get.
i LOVE that photo canvass project!! So cute and so simple!! Also pretty amazed by the mircrowave trick. Thanks for sharing!
DIY's are like my fave thing ever and these are so great ones! Thanks for the share 🙂

Completely obsessed with Pinterest! I LOVE that faux marble console! How genius is that??

Love all the DIY lady! That is one thing I need to do more of in 2015!
It always drives me nuts when the pins lead nowhere too! Why do people do that? Oh well. I really love all of the ideas using paint chips. I think the only things I've ever tried from pinterest are recipes that never turn out as pretty as the pictures.

Pinterest is my go to for cleaning and diy tips! I really love all the glitter in your round up, and also cannot handle the beautiful pins that lead to nowhere. It's always a great idea and it's almost always not helpful without a tutorial link.
I love all of these ideas, they are perfect especially the first one and the one with the candle. Ill have to try some of these and get back onto Pinterest.

Amazing round-up! I especially would love to try that faux-marble console!
This is seriously mind-blown stuff! That last one! I mean, who would've thought of that? These people are genius. I'm bookmarking this post for future reference!

Pinterest is seriously the best thing to happen to DIY ever! I have a lot of those same ones pinned on my boards, though I have yet to try a lot of them! I really want to try the lemon trick on my shower, we get those horrible hard water stains so bad!
So many amazing DIYs, so little time lol. In love with basically all of these, and using sample paint cards is brilliant.

WHAT! The lemon trick?? BRB buying lemons and scrubbing down my house
I want to try all of these!! Glitter votives, count me in!

Ahhhhh I love all of these pins!!!!!!! And that idea of using a computer for your picture backdrop? Freaking genius!!!!!! Way better than me using my hardwood floors or table!
Pinterest makes me feel like such a failure!!! I wish I could be so creative!
Omgsh how stinkin frusterating is it when a pin leads no where?! Makes me wanna scream haha! I LOVE that first idea of the coffee holder over the couch–that is perfect!!

Picture backdrop via the computer….brilliant!! I am a big fan of ombre so you know I have quite a few "borrowed" paint swatches from Home Depot!
It looks like we both decorated our blogs with gold glitter today! haha Some of these things are awesome and I envy the people that can do them to perfection (like my brother's fiance). lol Unfortunately, I'm a way better shopper than a DIY-er.
Girl… these are amazing!! That console is a must have, I always wish there was something right there to sit my drink on. And I can't get over that photography setup… crazy how good it turns out, I'll have to remember that. And those glitter votives look like a good wedding DIY- do you have the link to that because I didn't see it under the photo. Just wondering what type of glue would work best on glass??
Some of these are so cute and creative! I really want to try that first sofa-arm-table thing, because having such a small space means I don't have tons of room for enough coffee and side tables. And I totally agree, the worst is when it doesn't link to anything or it links to the completely wrong page!
Love the glitter candles and the computer backdrop is so genius! And anything Megan from Honey We're Home does is always amazing. She's one of my favorite home decor bloggers.
My brain is exploding with all the things I want to start right now.
… I wonder how they laid their books on the laptop for the computer back drop without the keys being pressed down… hmm…..
Love these ideas! I want to make the weekly goals with the paint chips! I think it would be good for my son too, because it helps him to see the days of the week visually when he is getting impatient for a certain day or event. Cute ideas! xo
I really really really want to try to make one of those tables for my couch! Its Genius!
Eleventh & Sixteenth
I need to be better about following through with things I pin! That goal board I definitely want to make and THANK YOU for sharing the idea on how to keep cards…I have some from when we purchased our first house, engagement, soon our wedding and I would love to keep them all like this.

i love the idea of that little arm table for the sofa! i mean, who doesn't need a place for their cute coffee mug, right??! thanks for sharing these.
Such great ideas! I did a few ModPodge picture projects and loved how they turned out! My faborite was on a decorative wood pieve I found at a craft store – painted it, ModPodge'd my picture of choice, and used a ribbon to hang!

Oh, I love these! I could def use the organization!

How cool do all of these look?! Especially the first one! Gonna have to add that to my list!

I am so intrigued by using the computer screen as a background. Genius! I'll buy the glitter, you get the champs and a DIY party sounds perfect!
pinning so many things
So now I want to use this to make one of those consoles. And the microwave hack. AND the glitter mason jars. I made that bridal shower card book. I kinda love it! xo
Those pins are phenomenal! I have tried my hand at a few projects but I really only enjoy them if my sister or bestie will do them with me. Otherwise I get frustrated that it's taking too long/not working out/etc. I especially love the way you put all your wedding cards together. I really wish I had done that. Can't wait to hear about some of these projects as you tackle them!!
Beautiful DIYs
Made in Mauve
my diy board does not match my skill level.. i seem to think i can do way more and be more creative than i actually can. it's so fun looking though. i hate when pins lead nowhere! argh!
So great! I am one of those pinners who sees an idea loves it and then never tries it! I have to go to my boards and try some of the stuff I pinned real soon!
So many awesome pins your sharing here! First of all, that microwave trick is a god send! Although I will admit, I haven't missed having to do that over the last 5 months or so since I hired a maid and she does it now. Lol. 🙂 I love those little cut out things that you can do such fun things with! I think I want to look for one and make a mobile for the baby's room! 🙂 Loving the bar cart you put together! How awesome!
I feel like I've had more disasters than luck with Pinterst but that's mostly because it's huge projects I take on and I'm not prepared for. I'm really interested in the one with the computer though!
