Seize the Weekend Vol. 3

Seize the Weekend is a weekly feature on NoPlaceLykeHome. I have scoured the internet looking for 5 crafts/recipes/projects that are easy to tackle in a weekend. My hope is inspire you (and myself) to roll up our sleeves and get creative.

1.) Make art out of your favorite quote or sentimental song lyrics using an old painting. I found this from one of the most great-idea-filled blogs, A Beautiful Mess. For a tutorial on how to make your own, click here.


2.) Bake special cupcakes for someone you love (or for me). I think these coconut ones look especially enticing. Recipe via Martha Stewart found here.


3.) Get organized. Sorry to be a buzz kill, but your entire weekend can't be filled with glittered manicures and banana pancakes. Use these 10 tips from professional organizers to get your space under control. Originally posted on apartmenttherapy.com.


4.) Make this delicious looking spicy lemon chicken wrap for lunch. Originally found on Pinterest via thelondoner.me, recipe located here.


 5.) Step outside of your makeup comfort zone. Don a classic cat eye for date night or an evening out with friends. Our old friend, Lauren Conrad, shows you how - in a video found here.

If you try anything listed above this weekend email me a photo at brhea.koneman@gmail.com. I hope that your weekend is simply fabulous!
