Favorite Furniture of 2011 – Link Party

Well, I’m a week and a day late in doing this post, but I’m a little out of sorts with Christmas and family visits and projects and all of that, but I’m really excited about this post, so I figured it was better late than never.  This is a party where you can link up all of your favorite furniture makeovers and finds of 2011.  It’s OK if you’ve shared them at FFF before, but only share your very best post(s).  OK?  I can’t wait to see them…

This link party is for furniture ONLY and will be open through Friday, January 6 at midnight PST.  Enjoy!

  1. Hi Marian, we all understand the craziness of the holiday season, most of us could never keep up with your pace, I guess I should speak for myself and say I couldn’t keep your pace. I’m grateful that you took the time to host at all. Thank You for hosting and have a wonderful New Year.

  2. Thanks for the link party. I accidentally uploaded the same post twice and tried to delete it, but can’t. Could you please delete the first one as the thumb nail isn’t great. So sorry. Happy New Year!

  3. Hi Marian; You have been a great inspiration this year and I want to thank you for your clear tutorials, your matter of fact presentations, your creative examples, your honesty and for being real. Thanks for hosting at such a very busy compressed time of year.

  4. I always enjoy the projects you bring us each week! So looking forward to all the inspiration you will continue to give in 2012

    Thank you for the great party!!

  5. Thanks Marian for hosting. It seems I never did link up my masterbedroom makeover using Annie’s paint. Glad I am now. Happy New year to you and your family!

  6. Thank you for all you’ve inspired me with this year!! Phew it’s been a year! Also, thank you for all your hard work, in allowing us to join you in this weekly party…{who needs FFF during the holidays?? lol}

    Happy New Year!!

  7. Dear Miss Mustard Seed,

    I did indeed link up my painted porch #207 (the rug is painted directly on the porch which, in fact, the porch received a total paint job too … as much if not more work than a painted piece of furniture, right?).

    However, if you deem it beyond the parameters of furniture, then I completely understand if you remove said post.

    Sincerely,

    Miss it all started with paint

I hope and pray you have a wonderful new year- I’ll be excited to see all the happenings going on in your world. 🙂 One of the highlights of 2011 for me was finding your site and being inspired by all you do!

  11. I love this idea! I am reposting one of my first posts I ever linked to your party, well any party for that matter. Your parties are always full of inspiration! Thanks for hosting.

    I’m clicking the “Like” link and it reloads the page and my “vote” isn’t showing. What am I doing wrong?

    Do I need to be a subscriber? Duh!
