It's not turning water into wine, but it is turning dull brass into shiny silver.

Magically turn that worn, dull brass piece into a shiny, sleek and rejuvenated silver one.  Found on Style North, I am amazed at this transformation.  Brass seems like a good idea until it starts turning green?  Not a big fan of the brass patina, but stripping the brass plate off to expose the base metal silver is something I have just learned of and I had to share it ASAP.  Click here to see the whole DIY for Style North.  Hope you all have a great weekend.  Enjoy, Heidi

For the Laundry Goddess in all of us.

Found on Hirondelle Rustique

This one has got to be my favorite.  I love how you are allowed to gaze outside while folding clothes, all of a sudden laundry does not feel like such a chore since usually it is done stuffed in a dungeon or coffin, I mean closet somewhere.  Click here and let Monica from Hirondelle Rustique show you how to make your own laundry detergent. ( 40 loads for $1.09)

Found on the Designer's Attic

Love the how the counter top is a folding area.  My BFF Janet had a cute curtain that could be pulled across both the washer and dryer to hide them.  Then she would use this space as an extra serving station when entertaining.  Clever girl, that Janet.

Pottery Barn Style

The Summer Sale catalog arrived in the mail today from Pottery Barn.  I have always used this catalog along with Anthropologie and Ballard Designs as FREE design inspiration.  If the magazine subscriptions are not in your budget then get your name on the mailing list of these guys.  Any of these images are worthy of coming out of the latest magazines on the rack.  Tons of creative design ideas. 

Wishing you all a lovely weekend and a Happy Father's Day.  Heidi
