Summer means more time to do DIY projects! I have had so much fun this past year sharing my DIY projects with you! Here are some some of my favorites of the year.
This one actually got lost. I just realized it today. I loved this project…It was one of my first projects last year.
My favorite DIY Project (Just because I am still in love with them, and I saved thousands)

Feeling confident, and the estimate was over $8000, I did this Giani Kit on my kitchen counters. This stuff works great on laminate, Formica, Tile and others!

Outside I was playing with Garden Decor when I came up with these:
I love the light I made to hang in the Pergola https://kelleysdiy.com/2017/07/05/chandelier/. These Gazing Ball Stakes https://kelleysdiy.com/2017/04/08/gazing-ball-stakes-3/
Some of the best Crafts I have done, I think, are the ones I made with paint sticks. I did this wonderful post about some of the wonderful projects you can make, using paint sticks. You can find it here: https://kelleysdiy.com/2016/10/18/paint-stick-crafts/
Do you ever start creating things and end up creating even more projects from that craft? I did.
I started by making this Rug Rag. You can see tutorial here: https://kelleysdiy.com/2017/02/01/rag-rug/ug/
Then I took this stool I found left on a curb, I cleaned, painted, then made a shaggy top: https://kelleysdiy.com/2017/02/22/shaggy-ottoman/
Then this one on a different ottoman:
Then I did a major makeover on this ‘Crusty Heirloom Chair’ :
So many more, so much more fun. I really want to take this time for making this such a fabulous year! I have made so many new friends, and I feel blessed! Thank you, thank you all for your encouragement and sticking by me, and in my DIY obsession.
Wow! I really like all of these ideas! Congrats on a whole year of blogging!

Probably! I might do it a tad differently, maybe put some flowers on it or something!
I really LOVE the idea! I will post about this when I make it!

Mariah wanted this more plain, and have room to put her stuff. The small cork strip is great for pinning!

You could add a string across toward the top with little clothespins too.

The yarn on the chair is something I have done at times myself. Maybe when It cools off I will do a yarn scene again.
