Design & Craft ♥ Favourite Friday Five

1. The whole post in my first link is so true for me. Grover is the best, and I LOVE that book. Go check out the Crafty Grover Hand Puppet on Make and Takes

2. Interior Design – Kitchen makeover with before and after photos over at Design Sponge.

3. Bathroom cabinets and accessories from Ikea - I’ve decided to get these when we renovate our bathroom, it’s sort of modular but they look great when put together.

4. DIY Favour boxes on Twig and Thistle – these are a lovely design, I will be sharing this on the Just Details forums!

5. Dresser Drawer ribbon organisers on Mod Podge Rocks, which I posted about yesterday also.

Enjoy your weekend everyone, I’ll be back sunday night!

Doggie Bones Costume for Halloween
