Tonight’s Furniture Feature Friday is going to be a just a little different. Instead of highlighting my favorite furniture projects from a couple of weeks ago, I am going to share the three “honorable mentions” from the Copy Me Challenge.
The top five will be announced on Sunday and the grand winner on Monday. The link up at the bottom of the post will be our usual furniture party, though.
First of all, it was such a challenge to pick my “Copy Me” favorites. There were so many curvy dressers, Frenchy chairs, beautiful vignettes, and creative takes on the sheet music wreath in the over 200 links. I really enjoyed seeing my work through your eyes. It was a true pleasure.
The first honorable mention goes to Yanet from Three Sun Kissed Boys. This entry was just funny and I love the spirit of it. Full disclosure: Yanet sent me an e-mail in response to my post about my house being a casualty of my business and proclaimed that she was just like me…messy dining room, clothes hanging up to dry, etc. I dared her to enter it into the challenge and she did. She did a great job of it, so I had to give her a nod.
It was so clever the way she presented it!
You have a great sense of humor, Yanet. Thanks for sharing it with us.
The next mention goes to Michael from Inspired by Charm. He’s made some copies of my signs, including the Apiary sign with the bee graphic. Can you tell which one is his and which one is mine?
It’s seriously hard to tell! Mine is the first and his is the second. Wonderful job, Michael!
And, last but not least is Amy from Storm Cloud Nine.
She loved my star burst mirror (above) and decided to make one of her own. This may seem like a simple task, but my version was made out of antique sewing spindles, so all I had to do was assemble them. Amy had to make something that looked like the sewing spindles and she did an amazing job of it!
Those are just a small sampling of the amazing entries I had to choose from. Click here to visit all of the links and come back on Sunday when I unveil the top five.
If you’re curious to see the honorable mentions, top five and winner on the Funky Junk Interiors side of the contest, she is following the same time table I am.
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 (the link to the post), 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.

I think I consider a filing cabinet to be furniture – but if you don't think so, feel free to delete it! 🙂
Watching your copy me challenge has been so much fun! You ought to make this an annual party!
Have a Wonderful Day!
I really enjoyed the challenge. I wish I could have copied you too as well. Donna's It just so happened I had everything to work with..so it was just putting it together the way I thought she would. Thanks for hosting the linky party…
I'm not linking up to your challenge party but I have to tell you that this has been so much fun to follow! I am speechless at the amount of determination and creativity that everyone has! That's because you're a great inspiration ~ 🙂

It's been such fun to see all the great projects! Nicely done everyone!
hi Marian -I've linked the french chair I did (with your blog help) to your friday party. When i showed my husband your nice comment you left me on my blog, he said "wow that's like getting praise from the Queen!" You are the Queen of furniture revival. I thank you for the inspiration!
Have a good weekend
cheers Fiona
Hi Marian, I loved the copy me challenge. If you have it next year I'm in. Today I am nervously and excitedly joining your furniture linky party.Thanks so much for hosting.
i just love yanet! her personality is warm, funny, and wonderful!
Thanks for the link up party. I can't wait to have a look around 🙂
I agree with Sherrie, this should be an annual thing! I'll copy your tidy side then. 🙂
Thank you for the honorable mention.
The top mentioned are all wonderful. Great jobs.
I had a post linked to your meme but after reading the rules, I have things other than my one piece of furniture in my post…so, I'll not link it.
Will try to do one on furniture alone for a future linkup.

Hi Marian! Everyone did such a great job on your challenge — I know you must have had a tough time choosing!
Thanks for hosting this week's link-up. I submitted another "virtual furniture plan" for our courtyard (things are going to have to stay pretty virtual for me — or very small scale — until the remodel is farther along!

Hi Marian, Your honorable mentions were so spot-on. I looked at a lot, but not all of the challengers — what great work everyone did, I'm sure I couldn't decide. How rewarding that you are so inspiring :). Blessings, Kim
Wow! Just wow! your contestants really knocked theirs out of the park this time.
Still loving it here.

So glad to see Michael from Old Charm's "Apiary" sign in this honorable mentions post, because I actually HAVE THAT EXACT SIGN he made in my home RIGHT NOW! I loved it so much I got up extra early the morning he opened his Etsy shop and snatched it up (and his aqua Eiffel Tower sign).
Its such a great sign, and I ADORE the fuzzy bee. My dream is to one day have a micro farm (complete with miniature animals!) and to tend some hives of my own. Bees are just so awesome and its just so sad we are losing so many of them!
Best,
Kimberly
