friday links.

wow. this week has gone by in no time! it looks like the rain is going to foil our weekend plans of grilling in the backyard... oh well, maybe it will dry up here pretty soon.

i had a few more links since i didn't post any last week:

this amazing table featured on design*sponge. a poem has been hammered into the top of the wood... time consuming, but so beautiful. this is definitely a way to make a plain piece of furniture very special.

i already have a good recipe for coffee cake, but this one sounds delish too! and it has a glaze! from prudent baby.

these really cute paper lanterns look pretty easy to make, using a technique we all learned when we were little. why didn't i think of this? from make grow gather.

i love chevron patterns right now, and this cheap diy chevron rug makes me think of a few other things around the house that a little paint would spice up. from little green notebook.

this tutorial on making a flat-screen pretty (with a custom frame) is incredible. definitely something to make technology blend in with your decor. from allthingsthrifty.

this museum tunic is pretty and looks fairly simple to make... i have got to get my office cleaned up so i can use my sewing machine!! from anna maria horner.

these diy pillow shams on design*sponge having me thinking even more about our bedroom makeover.

this lamp makeover from just a girl is pretty amazing. loving what she did with the lampshade!

hope you all have a wonderful long weekend!!
