Furniture Feature Friday Link Party & Giveaway

Welcome to my third Furniture Feature Friday link party and giveaway! Make sure you check out the post below to enter my Frog Tape giveaway! It’s a great product and this is a chance to get some for free. I have such a special giveaway for the winner of the link party this week. I came across Leslie’s blog, The Seasoned Homemaker, a few weeks ago and just fell in love with her work. She makes the most adorable vintage inspired aprons, in addition to other hand crafted items, and sells them in her Etsy store. I’m planning to buy one of these to wear when I’m painting at our shop. So much cuter than the vinyl cat apron I currently wear. Leslie has graciously offered up one of her embroidered birds for the winner of today’s Furniture Feature Friday link party. Look at this gorgeous collection she put together!

My Favorites & the Winner!

I had such a wonderful time looking at all of your furniture makeovers. You are some talented women! And I hate some of you (ahem, Maryanne) for your great dumpster diving luck. It was so hard to pick my favorites. There were a lot of good ones, but these are the ones I picked out… Amy from A Little Busy’s Stock Chandelier RedoIs a chandelier a piece of furniture? Sure, why not. And who really cares with how great this one turned out. Absolutely lovely, Amy. Make sure you check out Amy’s blog. Her kitchen redo is amazing! Decor Made Simple’s Ratan Coffee Table This coffee table looked like something off the set of the Golden Girls. I would not have thought it could look this timeless. Well done. Get Your Martha On’s Distressed White DresserThis is a pretty straight forward makeover, but she distressed this piece the perfect amount

Furniture Feature Friday – First Link Party!

Welcome to my very first Furniture Feature Friday link party! I cannot wait to see all of the wonderful and creative furniture makeovers you have to share with me, other participants, and readers who just want to be inspired! And here’s some great inspiration for you… My girl, Donna, over at Funky Junk Interiors is a talented lady and she proved it with this coffee table makeover. Here’s the before. Nice table, but just wait… Whoa…What happened? Click on the pictures to get all of the details from the woman herself about how to replicate this look in your own home. I love the tile top! And you never need a stack of coasters on your coffee table again. Doesn’t it look great in this room? I love how the color of the tile picks up the color of the stone fireplace. And that finish is just gorgeous. Slightly distressed,

Furniture Feature Friday – Oh, The Wonderful Things That White Can Do!

Welcome to my second Furniture Feature Friday! Remember I’ll have my very first linky party next week, so get your posts ready! For this week I found a wonderful makeover to inspire you. We all have seen those gargantuan 1970’s china cabinets in thrift stores and on Craig’s List for next to nothing. I am pretty brave with the furniture I buy to redo, but I’ve never had the guts to take on one of those. They are huge, heavy, often times have weird hardware and dated details. I now see that I was a fool. Do you see what I mean? The Enchantresses Three saw the potential in this old china cabinet that was purchased off Craig’s List for a song and, boy, did that vision pay off! This is what it looked like before… Yikes…That molding is really something else. I know I would’ve walking by without a

Welcome to the very first Furniture Feature Friday!

Welcome to the very first Furniture Feature Friday at Mustard Seed Creations! This is going to be a weekly event featuring my favorite furniture makeovers from your blogs. In a couple of weeks we’ll add a link party, so everyone can share their makeovers. I can’t wait! I get giddy over furniture makeovers! I have such a treat for you today. If you have not visited Blue Creek Home, you must. I found this gorgeous headboard makeover and had to feature it. It is simply yummy. So, here’s the before picture. Not bad at all, but look at the after… Wow! Isn’t that gorgeous? It’s a subtle makeover, but with a dramatic and beautiful result. Rhonda reupholstered the insert and beefed up the moulding on the top. I believe a good makeover includes knowing what to leave alone. The finish was beautiful and worked with the room, so why change

Announcement – Furniture Feature Fridays!

I love before & after pictures, especially of furniture. I have what you might call “lost dog syndrome” for furniture. I’ve been known to make my husband turn the car around, so I can pick up a piece of furniture that’s been discarded on the side of the road. Furniture (most of it) deserves better than that! I must save it and find it a new home. One thing I have loved about blogging is seeing all of the before & after pictures of furniture. I want to celebrate that by hosting Furniture Feature Fridays. At first, I am just going to feature my favorite furniture makeover that I see out in blog land (or you can e-mail me if you’d like to be featured.) After a few weeks, I will start to have a link part along with the feature…with giveaways, of course! Sound fun? Start working on some
