Well, after weeks of trying to convince myself otherwise, I have come to the conclusion that I just don’t have the time to leave comments on every link shared. I have always done that, but the last few weeks have been a struggle. I don’t want to give the party up all together and in order to keep it going, I have to drop that standard I set for myself. I just want you all to know that am looking at each project and gleaning inspiration from all of your posts.
So, for a favorite… I featured a few projects earlier this week, so in addition to those, these two links really stood out to me. They happen to be by the same person. The Lamp Tramp. She made two of the most detailed and beautiful slipcovers I think I have ever seen.
She finished these white linen slipcovers with tiny ruffles and dainty ties that give these chairs a flirty look, without looking too fussy.
It took her 20 hours to make this slipcover! Look at all of those ruffles and the ballet slipper ties on the arms. This makes my slipcovers look like I stuck a potato sack over a chair.
I’m going to have to try sewing a slipcover in this style…if I have enough patience.
Maybe the Lamp Tramp has some to spare? Wonderful work, girl. Well done.
Can’t wait to see what furniture finds and makeovers you have to share this week!
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, 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 am so in awe of people who can sew these amazing slipcovers!
The slipcovers are gorgeous…but so are yours! If I were to make one it would have to be a flour sack thrown over a chair since my sewing skills are limited.

I have a furniture project in the works for weeks now. Still not finished. I really hope I can link up to it next Friday, so please don't cancel the party…..
I love those slipcovers too, but I don't think I could get away with them, too girly for my guy.

So much detail in the slipcovers – very pretty. I understand how hard it must be to try and visit everyone who links up to your wonderful party. I think we all know you do your best and that is enough! Thanks. Oh – I hope my clock counts as furniture. If it does not feel free to delete the link. 🙂
Thanks for hosting once again Miss Mustard! Have a lovely weekend!
My goodness, I'm so flattered by your tribute to my slips. I'm still laughing at your "potato sack" line. Your slipcovers are quite beautiful as well. And just so ya'll don't think I'm perfect…I'll post and link my little French chair redo/upholstery that looks terrible. An upholster I am NOT! Ha Ha!
Thanks so much for hosting! I love that chair!

I am sure they were a lot of work. They are very well done! So pretty.
Thanks for hosting!
I always find inspiration here! I linked up today for the first time…my project was inspired by your wonderful ideas. Hope you like! Thanks for sharing so many wonderful, beautiful and creative ideas and thoughts!
Hi — I've often checked on your blog and have just signed up to follow you. I invite you to do the same. I do have a question — you had mentioned that you have a paint sprayer — I am looking for one to spray shutters on the house, doors, banisters — perhaps even walls. Are you pleased with yours, and if so, would you tell me what type you use? I sure appreciate your input!
(And if you have already posted about it, please accept my apologies — I've looked throughout your blog but have been unable to locate it.)
