My brain is totally fried tonight! I did the photo shoot today and it was intense. I know that sounds silly, but we had only a few hours to style and shoot seven rooms, which is a lot when every shot needs to be meticulously examined for a rogue accessory, a lamp cord dangling in view or the reflection of my boots in the glass of a cabinet. It was a little stressful, but so fun as well. Kriste came with me and she was worth her weight in gold. She was money, as they say. Heather, the home owner was such a delight and so relaxed about us messing her house up as we worked from room to room dropping eucalyptus seeds and Japanese maple “helicopters” all about. It was a good day, but the bed is calling my name. Before I hit the hay, here are my favorites from last week…
As you know, I haven’t met a French caned chair that I don’t like. This one from Anita of Cedar Hill Farmhouse is so pretty after she fixed the seat, gave it a fresh coat of paint and made a pretty cushion and pillow to match. She shares a full tutorial on how she achieved the finish product.
Arlene from For the Love of it is such a clever girl! She took a huge 7 ft tall hutch and turned it into a dresser and a separate cabinet by making a few adjustments. A coat of paint on the pieces and the knobs finished off the transformation. She said those pieces sold almost instantly!
Kelly from Kenilworth finished this pretty little table with a dry-brushing technique that adds so much depth to this simple piece. It looks perfect under that gilt mirror with the dried hydrangeas on top.
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!

Why can’t I see the furniture that was submitted?
I only see comments!
Well, I changed browers and I am able to see the link party in Firefox, but not in Internet Explorer. Not sure why I can’t see in IE?
Obviously can’t spell either – LOL! Browsers NOT Browers
Thank you Marian for featuring my armoire transformation. Love your blog and style!!! I was one of your early readers before you got to be so well known.
