You girls slayed it last week.  My mind was spinning at all of the amazing furniture pieces linked up.  Really…some of you put me to shame.  It’s always an honor to feature some fellow furniture-lovers in this weekly party.  Truly.  Now that I’ve gushed all over you, here are some stand-outs from last week… This card catalog makeover by Maple and Magnolia is WOW.  WOW, because I’m totally jealous and want one.  And WOW, because this took an insane amount of tedious work.  Abbie from Five Days Five Ways designed this beautiful nursery for her daughter Della.  This white chair with red piping is super chic against the aqua walls. Della’s a blessed girl.  (I grew up in army housing with white walls.  Does that explain anything?)   Andrea from Sweet Vintage Decor painted and upholstered this antique bench in a grain sack.  This is my kind of furniture makeover!  Andrea certainly knows

I spent the day moving into my third floor room at Lucketts, so I am basically useless now.  My legs are like noodles and my brain definitely overheated today.  Despite my sorry state, I perked up looking through your furniture links from last week.  Lots of great stuff there!  Here are some of my favorites… Alison from The Modern Cottage Company created a playful, yet stylish kid space.  I love the mismatched beds and bedding and the boyish color scheme.  Being a mom of two boys myself, this caught my eye.  So cute! Sarah from Sarah and Drew B linked up her blue-legged dining table, which I loved, but it was the cupboard in the back and non-matching farm chairs that caught my eye.  The mix of natural wood and paint on that shelf is gorgeous and I love how it’s styled.  And lastly, Julie from Less Than Perfect Life

I know I say it often, but it really was tough to pick some favorites this week!  There were some amazing dressers, slipcovers, chairs…lots of good stuff.  I hope you took some time to browse around.  Here are some I thought were stand-outs… Allison and Kyle from Two Thirty-Five Designs gave this sleepy chair and graphic, bold makeover.  It’s totally not what I would do, but I absolutely love it!  This chair is hot like wow.  One of my favorite “linker-uppers” at FFF is Adri from Dream Book Designs.  I am convinced that she and her handy hubby can take on any project and make it look amazing.  Painting a zillion drawers of a card catalog file?  Kid stuff.  Turning a drafting table base into a dining room table?  Piece of cake.  They’re amazing.  Maybe a little sickening, but amazing.  Rosemary from Villabarnes transformed this French chair with her own mixture of gesso.  This

My last few days have been spent at the swimming pool, science center and just hanging out at my parent’s house.  I hardly know what to do with myself.  I’ve been wearing my painting clothes, just so I feel at home!  I’m having a great time, but I definitely wouldn’t miss our weekly gathering.  Here are my favorites from last week…(I actually had time to sit and look through a lot of the posts this week.  It was luxurious!) Jedbel from The Pear Tree Cottage transformed an outdated brick fireplace into this sleek mantle and surround (and she shares a full tutorial on how to do it!)  I love the pictures of her home and her casual style.  Katie from Wild Wood Creek used one of my favorite colors (aubusson from Annie Sloan) to give this chunky Craig’s List dresser a gorgeous and dramatic new look.  Love it! And lastly,

Oh my.  I found some amazing inspiration in the party last week. You girls (and occasional guy) are so good!  I’m loving all of the chalk paint, Frenchiness and fabulous finds.  Thanks so much to everyone for participating in this party and turning it into the hot place to be for furniture lovers.  I hope this week will be just as inspiring. Here are some of my favorites from last week… Shannon of AKA Designs made a really cute, rustic headboard for only $36!  It provides a great focal point on a budget.  I also love the “love” banner.  So sweet.  Ritajoy of Harbour Breeze transformed her kitchen for less than $200!  I am about to paint my kitchen in a soft blue, so her choices really caught my eye.  You did an amazing job on a shoestring, girl. Good for you! The last piece that caught my fancy was

We had a wicked storm roll in this evening and it made me think of all of the places in the country that have been devastated by tornadoes and flooding. I hope this post finds you and your family well. Here are my favorites from Furniture Feature Friday two weeks ago.  Karryann from Gracefully Vintage reupholstered this tired and stuffy sofa and now it’s chic and oh so yummy.  I love it, Karryann! As a second ode to upholstery, I wanted to highlight this sweet French bench by Lori from Wool and Flax.  The curvy legs are lovely and the textured fabric is fab.  The last person I want to feature is Rachel from Gilly Grey.  While I was getting busy for Lucketts, she was getting ready for the grand opening of Laissez Faire in Baltimore. (Maryland?)  I know you worked so hard and your space looks fabulous!  I feel such
