Furniture Feature Friday

Furniture Feature Friday – Link Party & Favorites

Today we are heading off on our family vacation to Arizona and Colorado.  I am giddy with anticipation.  It has been a sprinted marathon to get through this summer, but tomorrow we cross the finish line and it’s all about time with the boys, hiking, taking in the scenery and unplugging for a while.  I’ve been working on some posts, so things will run as usual here on the blog, but I won’t be checking e-mail or responding to comments very often.  I’ll pop in here and there, so I’m not welcomed home by 2500 e-mails in my inbox.  If you have something important to ask, I would suggest waiting until September to send me an e-mail! I do have a guest picker lined up for FFF next week, so be ready to link up…same blog, same time. Here are my favorites from last week… Anyone who knows me even

Furniture Feature Friday – Favorites & a Link Party

August is a crazy month for me.  I kicked it off with Haven, now I’m in North Carolina for the Becoming Conference and then we’re off to Arizona and Colorado.  FFF will still be happening, but you’ll have to hang in there with me if I miss it or can’t pick favorites one week.  I was able to fit some browsing in tonight, though, so here are my favorites… This piece by Pam from Simple Details looks so glam with a fresh coat of glossy black.  She’s a better woman than I for letting this go to a client!  It looks beautiful just where it is. I just featured a piece by Oliver & Rust  in a non-FFF post a few weeks ago and I try to pick different people to feature, but this was just too good not to share!  Look at the styling on that shelving.  Meg is a

Furniture Feature Friday – Jessica’s Favorites & Link Party

Tonight I am hanging out with Shaunna (and a bunch of other cool girls) at Haven. so I’ve asked Jessica of Dear Emmeline to pick some favorites for me.  Here they are… Every week I am so amazed by the creativity and style of all the pieces linked up.  This week is no exception!  Furniture painting really is an art form as evidenced by the three features this week. Oh my!  This navy, white, and gold credenza by Kelly at A Swell Place To Dwell has my heart a fluttering!  So clean, crisp, and styling.  Perfectly regal and evoking maritime nostalgia.  Don’t you just feel like you’re looking at a captain on a long ago military ship?  Minus all the yucky aspects of military and sailing life of course! All things boy room have been catching my eye while I’m working on the plans for my son’s room redo.  Kristy from

Furniture Feature Friday – Link Party & Laura’s Picks

  The house was a flurry of activity today with lights and a skylight tube being installed in the bathroom and lots of cleaning and getting ready for a big photo shoot tomorrow.  I can’t wait to share everything we’ve been up to, but tonight it’s about furniture, so let’s get to it.  I had Laura from the Ironstone Nest as a guest picker today. She’s one of my MMS Milk Paint retailers who I talked about HERE.  If you remember, I was very inspired by her shop makeover and the beautiful, encouraging sign about furniture painting.  If you were inspired by it, too, and would like to have one in your shop, workshop, bathroom (just seeing if you’re paying attention), or wherever…you can have one custom made HERE. Oh, and you can also buy the new MMS Milk Paint colors, include Artissimo, online from her HERE.  Check out our

Furniture Feature Friday – Link Party & Say Hello to…

Due to a string of circumstances, my guest picker wasn’t able to pick favorites tonight, but she has wonderful taste, so I can’t wait to see what she picks next time she’s available.  So, tonight, I thought I would share a preview of one of our new MMS Milk Paint Colors.  Say “hello” to Artissimo… I’ll introduce the color in a full post next week, but couldn’t resist sharing this amazing piece done by Abbe Doll of All Dolled Up.  Isn’t the color so rich and beautiful?  I hope you love it as much as I do. Here are the rules for our furniture 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

Furniture Feature Friday – Favorites & a Link Party

Between the pool, ice cream cones, catching fireflies, washing dirty feet and tucking in two tired boys, I almost didn’t make it to FFF tonight!  But, I managed to steal away a few minutes before 10:00 to pick out my favorites from two weeks ago.  The blues have it tonight… I think this painted hutch by Lilacs and Longhorns looks so pretty.   It adds just the right amount of pop against the neutral walls.  Very lovely piece. I love this Anthropologie-inspired typography dresser by Southern Revivals.  And it’s painted in one of my very favorite colors – Shutter Gray… I bet you can guess what caught my eye in this room by Dimples and Tangles…the curtains!  I also love the peacock blue used on this dresser.  You should see the before and after of this space and how just painting one piece of furniture made a big statement.
