furniture feature friday | favorites & link party

Furniture Feature Friday
Hi MMS readers! Kathleen here from Between blue and yellow. So happy to be helping Marian pick favorites this week while she is in Toronto.

So here we are with my first favorite.  This beautiful piece from Q is for Quandie, is painted a classic black but I love how she left a few details natural wood.  That little mirror on the back just adds to it’s character.

My next favorite is this beautifully, feminine piece Anita painted for her daughter at Far above Rubies.   I just adore the color and the hints of gold in the distressing.

And then there is this genius solution, from The Heathered Nest, for disguising those strange bump outs in her daughters room.  These beautiful shelves that her Pop built make this room even more outstanding than it already was.

Great work ladies!

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. Thank you so much for picking my Black Magic dresser as a fave Kathleen. It’s painted in MMS milk paint in Typewriter I might add ;-), a color that is fantastic to work with. As always I am among good company with all of the beautiful pieces that were submitted!

  2. Finally I have something to link up, a French parquet table a friend has just completed. I am also working on something quite different which I am excited about. I just wish your paint was in the stores in NZ so I could try it out. We finally have Chalk Paint here but I think your colour range is really lovely.

  3. Can anyone tell me the best way to get a chippy paint look do you use oil on your finger and place on furniture a brush or a cloth I’m just not having the best luck with this technique. ..please help thanks Laura

antique portrait in the kitchen

Remember the portrait I found at the Lucketts Spring Market earlier this year?  The one I saw a couple of years ago at the fall market, thought about, wished I had bought it, and then came face to face with it again?  The woman in the blue dress with the

The weather has turned hot again, which is expected since we’re halfway through July and in the thick of summer.  Hot, humid weather means I skip my morning walk, don’t stay on top of the weeds in the garden beds quite as well, and generally stay inside except in the
