Furniture Feature Friday – A Favorite & A Link Party

Ok.  Confession time.  I did not get to look at every single link last week and I didn’t leave comments for everyone.  I am still recovering from Lucketts and getting on the computer for a few hours to look and comment on all of the links was just not a priority this week.  I appreciate the time and energy you put into your posts and love that you share them here.  Just cut me a break this week.  🙂

I did manage to find a favorite, though.  I am a sucker for a French Settee and this one’s a beauty. 

Ann Marie from La Maison LaFortune flexed her upholstery muscles on this piece and transformed a fussy and formal settee into something current, flirty and sophisticated.  I love the white frame and fabric combination.

It is a lovely piece and you should be very proud of yourself, Ann Marie. 
Thanks so much for sharing it with us!
Here are the rules for this get together…
1.) Your post has to be about furniture.  Please, please, please…just furniture.  If you find your link has been deleted, it’s not because I’m mean, it’s because your post was not about furniture.  You can share makeovers, awesome finds, favorite pieces, furniture arrangements, or even pieces on your wish list!  Built-in furniture like kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities qualify as furniture.  
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(s) and feature their project on next week’s FFF.

Country Living Fair, here I come!

It is not lost on me how cool it is that I get to wake up each workday and decide what I want to do.  Some of that is dictated by deadlines and commitments to clients, but since 2008, I’ve been able to jump into working on my house, refinishing
