That is all, friends. It’s been a while since the last you-must, so I thought it was about time.

  1. That nursery is awesome, so is baby Katherine!!! I love the ruffled shower curtain and especially the $1 part! I’m going to have to try those egg bread bowls, yum! Thanks for posting this 🙂

  3. Thanks Kim! It was very sweet of you to feature us on one of your fabulous “you-must” posts!

(An aside: I wasn’t going to post today. But, my college roommate Ali told me in no uncertain terms that a Thursday post IS NOT adequate to last through the weekend. Love her.)

You must:

That is all. Have a great weekend, friends.

  2. I never officially thanked you for mentioning my alphabet block project. Thanks so much! Loved the other projects too!

  4. Even with a last minute post, you always find the best stuff! Love that rug and those blocks!

  6. yay! I’m glad for the Fri post, not that I should talk. That bathroom is amazing. It is bigger than most rooms in my house!

  9. Awesome finds! I am loving those red curtains! Thanks for the post, it is always fun to find new blogs 🙂

  11. Good thing Ali made you post- we would have all missed out on some ye candy! I’d seen Michael’s project because I stalk hime, but now I’m off to check out that rug!

  14. Kim… see everyone is happy you that you made another post 🙂 You know how much I love your blog! Thanks for the pretties 🙂

  15. i love all of those!!! the rug especially – i seriously hate the fact that there are no rugs with run patterns like this on them that are less than $1k… it’s like shades of light has a patent on fun rugs… amazing to diy it!

    enjoy your weekend!

You must:

  • Make this adorable gathered clutch for a friend (or yourself), like this one at Skip to my Lou.
  • Dream of planting a field of sunflowers next to your house like Thy Hand Hath Provided. (Adding this to the “when I live in the county list” – along with chickens, wildflowers and a pumpkin patch. What? You don’t have a “when I live in the country” list?)
  • Marvel over the idea of making all of your own gift sacks from newspaper (BRILLIANT) from How about Orange.
That is all, folks. Have a great weekend.

  1. Wow those pots and pans all organized really are something to drool over. I’m on an organizing kick lately, so this really gives me that extra push. 🙂 Glad you love the salsa recipe!

  2. ooooo… great list!! Definitely some stuff on here I gotta try!! I always debate reading this post you do… it always seems to lengthen my to-do list!! LOL 😉

  4. I would like to have Amanda’s kitchen and craft room transplanted to my house. Also,you’ve inspired me to pull out the bread machine.

  5. Thanks for the mention! I want the organized cupboards that Kevin & Amanda have! And I think I may have to make that salsa.

  7. I always love these lists because they give me such great ideas! I tried to plant some sunflowers this year but I don’t think they got enough sun so it was a bust. But I am thinking about finding a new location for next year….

  9. Funny, I just bought a clutch for a nigh out and then thought to my self I should make of them!! 🙂 I’ll check out the how to –

  10. ..aaaaaand I am now stalking Kevin and Amanda to find out where they got that pots and pan organizer.

    Anything to get JEGs to put away the pyrex dishes when he is done.

  13. I definitely have a “when I live in the country” list. I kinda DO live in the country, but not country enough for a pumpkin patch…yet.

  14. I am totally planting sunflowers next year even though I live in the city. I think I have just enough sun for them to grow, and I hear they’re hard to kill. Just what I need!

You must:

  • positively DIE over the Jessica’s kitchen at Jessica Leigh (especially that swoon-worthy sink).
What do you think?

  1. Those curtain rods are brilliant! I have been trying to wrap my brain around what to use on the pergola and this is perfect. Also loving that camera strap. Glad you loved the cart! I keep thinking about new ways to use it!

  2. Dang I wish I had the creativity as all the people! That ceiling looks awesome.

You must:

  • try these cheesy soft pretzels from Erin at Domestic Adventure. Ohmygoodnesstheyaresogoodyouwilldie. Then you will continue eating them until you have doubled your caloric intake for the day and you feel sick. But, it’s worth it. Divine.
  • squeal out loud when you find out that someone at Craft Passion has detailed how to make YARN out of T-SHIRTS!? Wha? I will be trying to crochet something with yarn I make out of t-shirts. (And, don’t tell Ryan, but I may be using the t-shirt that I wish he would get rid of but won’t. You know, the one he wore in three consecutive high school yearbook photos. The one that I thought had finally gone missing until he mysteriously found it buried in a box in the basement. I jest, I jest. I will not destroy the t-shirt. Without permission.)
  • fawn over Emily Kate’s stair makeover at ThirtyEight20. Which she did herself (like everything else). I love them so much that I saved the picture and told Ryan we just must have stairs like these in our next home.
That is all for today. Let me know what you think of the “you-musts.” I may do this type of a post more often. 
Please and thank you.

  1. I have been so out of the blog world this week and am just seeing this now. OMG!! Thank you for including our bedroom. I feel so flattered to be included in such company. I totally <3 you, Kim!!

  2. Thanks so much for mentioning my laundry room! I love this idea! I had not have a had a chance to try Erin’s pretzels yet, but they have been bookmarked. I love the headboard and those stairs are amazing. Finding mew blogs is the best!

  3. I was astounded by Jenny’s laundry room! I love it, it’s so fun!

    I “lost” a shirt when we moved that Mister loved. It was baby chick yellow, short sleeved, v-necked, and A SWEATER! I swear to dog it was a girl’s shirt… ick. He wore it when we went for a house tour with a realtor and I totally felt her judging the fruity sweater! yikes. Best thing I’ve ever done.

  5. Ooo–I love links to new blogs, especially when they’re blogs that not everyone in Blogland already reads. 🙂 Thanks!!

    If you have a chance to stop by, I’m hosting a Giveaway from The Tattered Flower today. 🙂

  6. I LOVE the laundry closet in Brick City Love’s Master Bedroom. It is like organizational heaven for me!

  7. Aw Kim, thanks for mentioning my stairs! I am just breathing a sigh of relief that they are done. Glad someone else likes them as much as I do!!!!

  8. I like what anonymous spam said. LOL.

    No seriously I love this list ! That laundry room was incredible and the bedroom and staircase were fabulous upgrades, thanks so much for sharing… keep em coming.

    xoxo

  11. Cheesy soft pretzels….OMG. They may be my downfall.
    I’ve seen lots of people using t-shirt ‘yarn’ in the last year, I haven’t tried it yet. I’d love to hear how you like it 🙂

  13. Thanks a-LOT now I have to make pillowcases… eat waaay too many pretzels and re-do my laundry room (again)… ha ha! Thanks girl for the “must dooos”.
