Yep, they are my top 10 favorite crafts, parties, recipes, free files, and DIY tutorials from Tip Me Tuesday!  I hope you’re inspired to make something fabulous this week as well.

These are just the 10 tutorials that I had time to highlight right now, you’ll see many more featured on Tip Junkie, Tip Me Tuesday newsletter, AND promoted through my social media sites like Facebook, G+, Instagram, and Twitter. {yep, I love to hook a creative girl up. HA!}

508.  Bathroom Remodel ~ A dark bathroom was updated into a bright and airy room with a “spa-like” feel.  Dark cabinets, mirrors and tiles give this bathroom a masculine feel while a pintucked curtain, ruffled pillow and frilly touches give it a feminine touch.  It’s the perfect balance for a master bathroom.
