Be Bold Challenge {Link Party Favorites}

Happy Monday, y'all! Looks like we're in for one more round of winter weather here in DC today, so I'm hunkering down over here and watching the snow fall from my desk...and hoping that we'll start seeing some warmer temperatures sooner rather than later!

Over the weekend, I had the pleasure of going through all of the amazing, BOLD projects y'all linked up last week for the Be Bold Challenge. Man, y'all KILLED it! I'm so impressed with each one of your projects, and it was tough narrowing it down to just ten of my favorites. Each host is picking their own features, so make sure to head to their blogs to see if your project was one of their picks! (Links at the bottom.)

Thanks so much for being a part of this challenge with me (and the ten other awesome bloggers who hosted) - I'm hoping this is just the beginning of taking more chances with projects and being willing to try something new. I had a blast, and I hope y'all were inspired to take on some more bold projects yourselves.

Without further adieu, here are my favorite projects from the Be Bold Challenge!

1 | Turning an old couch into an outdoor sofa from My Soulful Home

2 | Vintage travel themed nursery from Cherished Bliss

3 | Evolution of a hallway from Retro Ranch Reno

4 | Big Bang Theory inspired navy door from Desert Domicile

5 | White cross closet makeover from Cuckoo 4 Design

6 | Spotted Louis style chairs (without reupholstering anything!) from Dimples and Tangles

7 | DIY raindrop nursery wall from His and Hers

8 | DIY abstract canvas art from Home Coming

The day has arrived!  The day when we all get to share our bold DIY projects and marvel at our awesomeness! I can't wait to see what everyone has accomplished. I am prepared to be seriously inspired here, y'all. Bring on the BOLD!



But first up let me share what my amazing co-hosts and I have been up to. We have all been busy these past few weeks as well whipping up some boldness of our own. Just check out these gorgeous projects:

And now it's your turn to link up your own beautifully bold DIY projects. Remember, the challenge was to do a DIY project that is a bit of a risk. Perhaps using a new power tool you’ve been afraid of, trying a color you usually avoid, doing something you’ve never seen anyone else do, or just trying something you’re not entirely sure will work. Every project you link will be seen on all eleven blogs hosting the party. Yep, that's 10 blogs!

Also, we've got a new Pinterest board for you to follow: Beautifully Bold DIYs. It's going to be full of awesome bold projects including lots of our favorites from the link party.

The rules are simple:

• Please link up only your best, most risky Bold DIY projects. The ones that scared you a little. Please do not link up giveaways, etsy shops, or any other links that are totally not bold DIY projects.
• Please link to your specific post, not your homepage.
• Please include a link back to the party somewhere in your post.
• By entering a link, you are giving us permission to feature an image on our blogs. Proper credit and links will always be given.

Also, I want to give a BIG thanks to Carrie from Lovely Etc. for putting this whole thing together. That girl deserves an olympic medal, y'all! She's done such a fabulous job!
