Sizzle into Summer - It's a Party #74

Welcome to this week's Sizzle into Summer party.  It is sizzling here in New York with temperatures hitting 100 degrees here today.  Nothing better than cooling off here at DIYbyDesign and catching up with all of the inspiring posts from last week.  Here are this week's features:

HOME DECOR:

My friend Kathy from Creative Home Expressions shared her guest bedroom that she recently redecorated.  That gorgeous headboard is from Walmart!  Stop by Kathy's blog to get all the details.
The Old Post Road showed us how she created a custom roller shade.
  Hope you will all stop by for the step by step tutorial.

FURNITURE TRANSFORMATIONS:

Decorate With A Little Bit hand-painted this table and transformed it into something beautiful. 
 I just love the songbird in the center.
Blue Star Antiques  transformed an old chest into this stunning piece.  I just love the numbers.

CRAFTY CREATIONS:
Petals to Picots shares an awesome tutorial on how to transform a plain pair of flip flops to the cutest flip flops ever.  You know I love to crochet so this is definitely going on my "to do" list.

Life on Lakeshore Drive created this scrabble sports frame for her son's room.  If you stop by her blog you can also check out the baseball wreath she made in the same post!

TASTY TREATS:
Live Laugh Rowe shared her recipe for low fat taco salad. 
 Love that - all the yumminess with none of the guilt.
Life's Creative Journey shared her beautiful rosette birthday cake that she made herself.


If you were featured, please grab an "I've Been Featured" button (you can now find my buttons by clicking on the buttons tab right under my header).  Now let's get started with this week's party.  I can't wait to see what you have been up to.  Link up anything you have been working on...home decor, sewing, crafts, organizing, baking, recipes etc.   I will keep this link open through Friday.





A few rules:
1.  Please become a follower (if you already follow me on Google, I would love for you to follow me on Linky Followers as well).  

2.  Please grab my party button above and display it either on your sidebar or somewhere in your post.  This way word can spread about the party.  The more people at the party, the more fun we will have.

3.  Please enter the link to your actual post, not just a link to your main blog page.

4. Please visit others who have linked up.   Everyone works hard on their projects and blogs...let's show each other some love by visiting each other.  Let's have some fun and hopefully make a few new friends along the way.

Ok...Let's Party
