Free party planning printables, a folding chair makeover, and a diy lamp shade chandelier you can’t miss!

Party on! A Pair of Peas is taking party planning to the next level with these fun — and functional — party planning printables. There are three different worksheets to help you keep on track and make sure you don’t miss any of the important details. Best of all, they’re free!

Makeover success! Erin of Design for Mankind transformed her plain folding chairs into unique and colorful seating options for her guests — by giving them a makeover with spray paint and fabric.

Upcycle goodness! An old lamp shade was given new life as a DIY scrap chandelier thanks to the craftiness of Dottie of Dottie Angel. We think an eclectic chandelier like this one would be a welcome addition in a little girl’s nursery!

Inspired Ideas for a Stylish Life with Baby: 6/4/2012

June 4, 2012

A brilliant idea for hiding your router, a one-of-a-kind lighting fixture, a play tent DIY, a free printable for your gallery wall and an inspiring idea to add a touch of WOW to your furniture.

Necessary electronics can be an eye sore in a decorated room. Take routers, for instance. To get the best signal, it was to be placed in a central location—which means the blinking box almost always ends up predominantly displayed somewhere in your home. Anamu had the same problem—until her partner in crime had the idea of disguising the router with a vintage book. Genius!

This unique wall lamp, Klimoppe (approx. $140), certainly caught our attention this week! Available from Studio Snowpuppe on Etsy, the set brings everything you need to install with the moth lampshade and cord in the color of your choosing. It’s definitely a statement piece and the craftsmanship looks stunning.

Lier of ikat bag shared her DIY of a hallway tent for her girls, using tension rods! It’s great for small spaces, easy to set up and take down, and stores practically anywhere. Sounds like a win-win to us.

Gallery walls are all the rage in the decorating world, especially when it comes to nursery decorating. Here’s a free printable LOVE poster—available in blue, green and pink— from Crisp Family to add to your gallery wall. It’s bee-utiful!

We love unexpected details! This gray dresser by New Traditionalists, featuring dresser drawer sides painted in a vibrant red, is a great source of inspiration for your next DIY dresser project (found via Little Green Notebook).

Shana, of Belva June, created this amazing ‘Little Man’ birthday party collection for her son’s second birthday and I LOVE IT! I had been hoping that someone would do a mustache themed birthday and Shana just blew my mind. I don’t think she missed a single detail.
