FURNITURE FEATURE FRIDAY – Favorites & Link Party

Good evening all!  I was a little bit under the weather today, so I spent a lot of the day lounging in bed with the computer on my lap.  I don’t have many days like that, but my husband all but insisted.  I did sneak out for a quick photoshoot and showered and put on some makeup for a Skype interview with Jeanne Oliver.  Of course, I had pajama pants on.  The nice thing about Skype is you only need to be presentable from the waist up!  So, I had some good time to look through your entries today and the blues stole my heart.  Here are my favorites…

 I think this smokey blue dresser by Reeves of The Weathered Door is so pretty.  Of course, you know I love wood tops and the paint job is so simple, but there’s something interesting at the same time.  It has almost a glow about it.  It’s lovely.

 

I think this is one of those pieces that is a love it or hate it kind of piece, but I love it!  The distressing and contrast of paint colors is so bold and striking.  I think this dresser by Embracing Change is really fun and would be perfect in a little boy’s room.  Any new dent or ding will just add to the piece!

 

 I am just smitten with this piece.  Allison of Fab Rehab found this amazing antique dresser at a THRIFT STORE painted in this beautiful blue.  She just distressed it further to bring out the white coat of paint underneath and added glass knobs.  It is perfection.  A wonderful find and a wonderful makeover!

Here are the rules for our furniture 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.) This party will close Friday at midnight PST and I will choose my favorite(s) and feature their piece(s) on next week’s FFF. Enjoy the party!

  1. Dear Marian – I am so excited to share my very first piece of MMS Milk Painted furniture at the party tonight. Love, love, LOVE this paint! Thank you so much for hosting the party. I hope you’re feeling better real soon. Blessings, Patti

  2. Hi Marion!

  3. Good idea to take some time to (sort of anyway) rest. Thanks for hosting, whenever I paint a piece of furniture I love joining in. Reading your earlier post today on your WHY was helpful to me for focusing on my own why. Thank you Marian.

  4. I really love the denim blue of that dresser. Very grungy and you’re right, perfect for a boy’s room (can’t believe I’m going to have one of those in my home in a few years!).
    Hope you wake up feeling better 🙂

  5. Thank you for the party, Marian!
    I posted a complete roundup of my studio today.
    With chairs, sink cabinet, upsicled dresser and revamped table and shelves.
    The whole room done from scratch!;)
    Love and hugs…

  6. Please forgive and delete our first link attempt, #97. Sorry about that. We are being dragged, kicking and screaming, onto the internet, and we are really bad at it.
