We spent the day driving down to Alabama for the Chapel Market. It was amazing, but we were able to fit everything in a 4 x 8 open trailer, a minivan and a little overflow in Kriste’s Civic. I’m pretty impressed with ourselves that we made it work! And prayers carried our van with 202,000+ miles on it, towing a loaded trailer, here safely. So, tomorrow is set up day and I’ll also be hanging out with some friends. I’m hoping to have time to do some decorative painting for Layla (and tour her house) and spend some good time with Shawnna. She’s become one of my dearest friends and I wish we lived next door to each other.
Anyway, tonight’s about furniture, so let’s get to it. Since I am busy with Chapel Market this weekend, I’ve asked Jessica from Dear Emmeline to pick favorites for me and she obliged. Here’s what she picked…
When I saw this old door turned mantle by Anita of Far Above Rubies I was blown away. It is gorgeous! The low profile is the perfect solution for having a mantle in a small space. It’s also gorgeously styled for fall in red tones with a pop of bright blue.
How cute is this entertainment center turned armoire by Allison of The Golden Sycamore. Covering the unsightly media openings with planks, adding a clothing bar, and some pretty paint gave this piece a whole new look. We’ve been on the hunt for a wardrobe for our daughter’s room but I think I need to broaden my search to include media cabinets!
Bre of brepurposed turned an old spindle headboard into a quilt rack. The pretty coral paint and lacy burlap ribbon look lovely together. The nail heads add the perfect finishing touch.
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!
Thanks for another Furniture Feature Friday!
I hope you enjoy your stay in my home-state of Alabama- I’m going to try to make it to the show.

“a wardrobe for our daughter’s room”
Did I miss something? I thought you had two boys!
Kate, sorry! This was posted while I was on the road before it was finished! I had a guest picker, Jessica from Dear Emmeline. I’ve linked to her and introduced her now! 🙂
I am with Kate…I did not know you had a daughter…or are expecting one. I went back and read it twice to make sure I had not missed something…:)
Thanks for another party and for the feature! Made my night 🙂 Thanks Marian!
I am lost on the “daughter” comment also. I wondered if maybe someone else was picking for you, but no….so confused!
“We’ve been on the hunt for a wardrobe for our daughter’s room but I think I need to broaden my search to include media cabinets!” WHAAAAT?! Marian, is this a not-so-subtle way of telling your readers you’re expecting, and it’s a girl this time after two boys?! If so, nicely done and congratulations!
LOL! Yes, there was a guest picker, Jessica from Dear Emmeline, and the post went up while I was on the road, before I had written a proper introduction! 🙂
Just have two boys….not pregnant.
Oh, wow, thanks so much for the feature Jessica and Marian!!
After not being able to leave comments on many WP blogs due to Akismet blocking me as spammer, it feels good being able to comment once again. Thanks so much for another great Furniture Feature Friday! Awesome features, Jessica!
Thanks for hosting another great party:)
Thanks so much, Marian! Love your features by those talented ladies!
……..so funny about the daughter mix-up……but thank you for putting up the party at such a busy time. Have a great time at the Chapel Market.

I always love it when I can link up to your party Marian, thanks so much! And I love the features you picked Jessica!
LOL. Now that is what we call mix up mayhem! 😉 Thanks for allowing me to take over your blog for FFF. Have a wonderful time at Chapel Market!
Marian, I’ll be wishing and praying for you this weekend and if I weren’t at the tail end of a vacation in England,I would be there to encourage you personally. It all looks wonderful,so just relax and enjoy every minute of it!!
Love the furniture feature Friday!
I have a problem I wonder if you could help me with. I painted a dresser gray with yellow trim and yellow drawers then waxed with clear wax. After staring at it for a week now, I have realized that I really should have trimmed the indented edge of the drawers in gray. How do I remove the wax in the small indented area so I can paint it. Will I have to sand it? ( hoping not).
Thanks,
Debra
See you tomorrow!
Thank you for hosting the link up, Marian. Such lovely features! Hope your weekend ends up being a huge success and you get to relax when you return.
