We hope that everyone had a fantastic month ringing in the new year! This month we focused on organization and starting the new year out on the right foot. We had a lot of great ideas for creating more space in your home as well as highlighting the trending colors of 2016 and fantastic new ways to decorate. We are always excited for you to try out our featured DIY projects for your home and for the holidays; we hope you share the result with us so we can see!

Guest Features
We always love finding awesome new bloggers and sharing their projects with you. (Want to be featured? Link up at the party and/or submit your project here.)
Our first guest feature is from Heidi at My Sweet Cottage. She and her husband live in a cottage from the 1920’s. It was remodeled in the 1950’s, and they are updating it room by room. The first room they took on was the Gorgeous 1920’s Cottage Master Bathroom Addition. It is definitely magazine worthy, they did incredible work, and we are so excited to see more! This is a great feature to see if you are thinking of remodeling a bathroom.
We have so much fun stuff planned for Valentine’s Day so be watching the site for the fun posts to go live! If you have a blog or Instagram, you can link up at the party, and if not, share your pictures on Facebook (you can message us, and we’ll add it to our Fan Features album). Have a wonderful month!
