My Favorite Projects: August 2011

It's that time again!  A new month has started, so it's time for another look back at some of the best projects I came across last month.

First, a look at what we accomplished around the DIY Newlyweds household in August:

I commemorated a vacation with this map matte photo frame

I sewed a sea print pillow from a vintage tea towel

And then I made giraffe print placemat pillows

I also did a little switcheroo with my dining room table

Now that you've seen what I was up to, here's a look at some of the great projects I came across online:

Two Twenty One made a beautiful wine cork candle holder

Salvage Savvy created this cool DIY mosaic art

Crafty Butt made these cool grapevine patio lights for just $1

General Splendour did an amazing job with her outdoor shed makeover

As always, if you came across a great project or want to show off one of yours, please link it up in the comments section! And if you've been featured this month, feel free to grab a button to display on your site:

And since we're recapping last month, I wanted to thank one of my August sponsors: 3M.  Make sure you check out the awesome Couples Speak contest they're hosting! (Click over to my site if you're viewing this in a blog reader and can't see the funny video below.)
