Welcome to my Furniture Feature Friday link party, feature and giveaway! I know I blow the horn of my sponsor every week, but how can I not? This week will not break that trend. For those of you who haven’t met her, I’d like to introduce you to Caroline from Caroline Joy Home. I often get compliments for my sewing and slipcovers, but I am really just pretending to be someone like Caroline. This girl must sew like the wind blows and I bet she’s burned out a few machines along the way. She makes the most adorable, frilly aprons, like this one…
She sold out of these gorgeous tea towels that she made with an iron on transfer….
And I love her embellished cardigan sweaters that are for sale in her Etsy Store. Very classic and chic.
Clothing isn’t all this girl “dresses.” Caroline gave these bushel baskets a liner and ruffled skirt to be used as a stylish storage solution.
She is also the ultimate recycler. She uses every little teeny tiny scrap of fabric and makes it into something creative, beautiful, and functional. These are “card cozies” that she made just in time for the holidays. 
The winner of this week’s Furniture Feature Friday gets this oh so girly “Scarlet Apron” made out of a popular Waverly print on cotton. As an unprecedented move, I have declared a winner before the link party even opens. It’s me. Just kidding, but I may have to buy one for myself (and I’ll take the waistline pictured as well!)
Make sure you visit Caroline’s blog and Etsy Store for great inspiration and one-of-a-kind hand made things you can buy for special ladies on your Christmas list. Thank you so much, Caroline, for sharing your talent with us and being so generous with this giveaway. 
And here’s the result. I love the colors and finishes she chose for this piece.
It passes the most important test of all – will the cats use it? They obviously like their new home and it looks so much better than those rope and carpet monstrosities from a pet store.
Gorgeous job, Kristi! This is a very special piece.
So, what do you have to share with us this week? Here are the rules…
1.) Your post has to be about furniture or home furnishings (this includes accessories.) You can share makeovers, thrifty finds, favorite furniture pieces, or great arrangements.
2.) Post a permalink, not the link to your blog.
3.) The link party closes Friday at midnight PST and I will choose my favorite to win Caroline’s Scarlet Apron.
4.) It’s not required, but please grab a button and link back to spread the word.
One last note…Deb from Proper Prim paid me a wonderful compliment today and listed me as one of her blog friends. She does some unique and creative transformations, so you should check out her blog! Thanks, Deb. It’s nice to know I have a friend in Ontario.

What a great new use for that little secretary!
Thanks so much for featuring my "new" pet station! I might add, it's not only for my two spoiled cats, but also for my precious lab/border collie, Boo. The cats definitely get more use out of it than Boo does, since there wasn't quite enough room on it for a dog bed too.
What a great idea for a pet station! So creative. I love the apron too.
Thats wonderfully creative!
And that apron, I too would love to win WITH the waistline!
Its beautiful!
Love, LOVE that frilly apron! So cute!
Great idea for the pet station too!

Oh my gosh — you are soooo sweet. Thank you for the very kind words. I'm AMAZED at your talent and your eye.
that little cat desk is hilarious. If I had cats I would so do this. The giveaway is awesome too, love that little apron (far too beautiful to mess up by actually using it).
Thanks for hosting this party and letting me join.
Love, Marianne
Ooooh…pretty!!! The cat secretary is quite nifty too!
: )

Oh My Goodness….what a creative idea for the desk. The things we do for our pets! Love the apron.
Have a wonderful day.
Such a wonderful idea…thanks for sharing!!!
Living it up at Lakewood,

How do we make Caroline's absolutely darling aprons into the next fashion trend? So cute over jeans! Too cute to be kept hidden in the kitchen!
The pet station is such a clever idea. Some people have all the creativity!
Lots of pretties! And the pet station is so great. Love using old pieces in new and unique ways…
OMG, love the pet station! And the apron is awesome! Wish I had a good project to join the fun!
I'm also in Ontario and I am a follower who reads and enjoys your blog everyday!
I love the aprons, toooooooo cute. Your new pet station is just wonderufl. What a great idea. Hugs, Marty

Thanks for your comment about my piano! I cannot believe that I'm not a follower of yours (well I am now!) I LOVE your blog and I see your name floating all over blogland but I wasn't a follower! Boy do I have some catching up to do here!
You've high lighted the sweetess things! Bravo on the pet station.

I'm kinda freaking out cause i have a changing table i used for my baby that looks just like the secretary and is now not being used… it's stuffed in a closet… oh my word what a great transformation! LOVE IT,
and thank you for the link to the darling apron…. oh my it's so cute!!!
xo,

Everything is just so charming! My faves are the sweet tea towels. I have a strange weakness when it comes to tea towels. Of course this Ozarks farm chick has many strange quirks. Guess that would make me as unique as your clever pet station.
Have the best weekend filled with blessings and time to enjoy them. God Bless!!!
I thought I would have something to show this week but I had too much fun with my family and did not get my project done. I thought I would stop in and thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment. I have never known another dog by the name of Ladybug and was surprised that that you have had one by the same unusual name. On your question of her birthday. No real celebration. Just blogging that she had turned one. Expecting some real grown up changes soon! Obedience would be good!
I really like the baskets with the dressed up ruffle. You are so sweet to share with all us blog girls.
I really like those sweaters! Very J Crew.
I love that pet station, it is so amazing and adorable.
Oh my Goodness! I am so happy I stumbled upon this amazing blog site! Oh I just am in heaven. I am a fool for repurposing -repainting and the re do. LOVE this and will be back…often!!
xxoo
