{eye} try : everyday container vase

with so much fabulous stuff out there in the blog world, it's so easy for me to get intimidated or revert to pure stalker status. but i remember reading somewhere that "originality is overrated!" which totally inspires me to dig up all those saved jpgs and tutorials to try concocting my own versions, no matter how awkward or weird it may turn out.

this DIY project from design sponge caught my eye a couple months back and got me looking for my own everyday containers to use as vases. here's a sugarbowl from the thrift store that seems to fit the bill quite nicely...

ps - goal #36: find a vintage globe with an interesting history. (interesting history optional or can be made up, depending on how cool the globe looks).

  1. from one fellow stalker to another, I'm totally with ya...saving loads of jpegs and vowing to one day copy them. I'm on the hunt for a teapot in order to turn that into a vase (as seen on design sponge)

    YES. I totally know what you mean. I even feel a little sick or 'off' if I've consumed too many beautiful ideas without making anything myself! When I feel blah about blogging, it probably means I haven't made anything in a while. It makes a difference, and I really like how you're incorporating this into a series!

    Great job; I had to do a double-take to figure out which pic was inspiration and which was your own execution!

    (Thanks for the blog visit and comment, too! I love hearing from new readers.)
