A-Z Series: O is For

Dana from Make Them Wonder is gracing us with her presence on the blog today, and I couldn't be happier to have her here.  Dana is one of my go-to ladies for design inspiration.  Just check out her latest project in her kitchen, and you'll see what I'm talking about.  Amazing right?? She also keeps us in the loop on great budget-friendly DIY projects, and her Random Acts of Kindness series will motivate you to get out there and perform your own random acts of kindness yourself. I could keep going, but we should get to her post already.

I'm not gonna lie...when Carly asked me to be a part of her 'great idea of a series' and handed me the letter "o" I wasn't exactly quick to accept. I mulled on this letter for days...wondering if I could pull it off! Funny that I call my blog Make Them Wonder and here I am doing the wondering. Ironic, right?

Come to find out, there are loads of fun things that begin with the letter 'O' like owls, of course.

This fun little trend is a great way to bring a conversation piece into your home. Whooo wouldn't like that? (yeah, that was bad, sorry!)

Any of you share my love for Opals? Notice the trendy mint green color of this little beauty. I seem to remember a recent post by a certain blogger mentioning this as her color crush. Wonder who that was?!!

Crate & Barrel has some great "O" products. How about their Oslo Table and their Olin Rug? Not bad, huh?

Let's go Off the beaten path a little bit and think Outside the box. Decor and fashion are great, but what would life be without Oreos?

Fun little Valentine's idea...take an Oreo Cakester, cut it with a heart cookie cutter then roll the edges in red and pink sprinkles!

Okay Carly, my last "O" favorite is in honor of you...

Oh, the Places You'll Go! by Dr. Seuss

Here's a fun idea I found on Pinterest:

Have each teacher secretly sign "Oh, the Places You'll Go" from Pre-K to High School at the end of each year and give it to your child at graduation.

Oh, that was so much fun! Thank you, Carly for asking me to share today. I hope you guys will take a minute to visit me, I love making new friends! -Dana

A mint green necklace and Oh, the Places You'll Go?! Dana, you know me too well.  As a future teacher, I would LOVE to sign a student's book for them to receive at graduation. So thoughtful. Oh, and I really don't know what life would be like without Oreos, and I don't want to find out.

I also love OPI and Old Navy, which by the way has really stepped up its game.  Nothing like gorgeous pieces with even more gorgeous price tags.
