Beadboard Backsplash
Back in August, The Nester used beadboard and hot glue to temporarily cover the backsplash in her kitchen:
At the time I thought the idea was brilliant. Like the Nester, we are renting our current home. And although mauve was super awesome in the early 90's, I am not really loving it now:
I didn't plan to do anything with it, because we were only going to rent short term, but the plan is now to add another year to our lease. I don't know that I want to look at that tile for 17 more months.
Yesterday I stumbled across this picture from The Crafter's File Box:
She was inspired by The Nester and used hot glue to cover her tile with beadboard wall paper. So I think I might give it a shot. What do you think? Hot glue anyone? Any other suggestions?

Spiral Clock
How fun would this clock I saw on Shak In Style be in a game room:
The clock turns and the ball moves along with the time. When it hits 12:00 the ball drops through the whole and rolls back to 1. You can even pick different designs, colors, and have the ball drop through the hole at a time other than 12:00.
So in my imaginary game room I could have the ball drop through at 7:00 when it is time to stop playing and get ready for bed.
You can find out more about this super cool clock at The Spiral Clock.

Nail House Numbers
I always fall in love with clever house numbers. And not the painted ones on the sidewalk. Those are fine, but I love ideas like this one I saw over at Paper n Stitch:

Very inexpensive and all you need is a semi steady hand with a hammer and some patience to make sure you get all the nails to a similar height. I have one of those two qualities, so we will see how it goes.

Step Stool Bookshelves
I love these shelves from BHG made from step stools:
Ikea has pretty inexpensive stools that look pretty similar to those that you could use for the project. I saw this over at Room Remix and it immediately remind me of a miniature version of these shelves made from stacked tables:
