Oh yeah…game on!
You all know how much I love Young House Love. This love is only surpassed by my love of Pinterest. For those of you who haven’t checked out either…YOU MUST DO SO NOW! Click above and have your home design world shift forever.
When those two things came together today in the Pinterest Challenge, well…it was like the clouds parted and heaven sang. I loved the idea of a Pinterest Challenge until I realized it meant I had to make something. Like with my own two hands. Oh dear.

While I like the idea of making things, I prefer the idea of other people making things for me. But Sherry and her compatriots have me inspired. I will make something from my ‘Fun DIY’ Pinterest board this weekend if it kills me. And it might.
We know it won’t be the DIY mid-century desk oOr the awesome welded firepit.

I do think that I could handle the dry-erase board. Or the terrariums, which I really really love.
If we could find the Eames chair-legs for less than $100, Brett could totally pull off the DIY bench with the wood from the rockery project.
So will you join me? In this Pinterest Challenge? The idea is to post your creation on the YHL blog (and hopefully the MCML blog too!) by August 2nd. I am committing to the two projects above. I think they are an accessible entry point into this DIY-thang. If you aren't a Pinterest convert yet, please submit the DIY you are proudest of to share!
And if that weren't incentive enough, check out this snort-inducing video from Sherry of YHL and her compatriots in crime. Enjoy!
