furniture feature friday | favorites & link party

Furniture Feature Friday
Boy, another great furniture week!  Sometimes I feel like I can’t think of a fresh way to express the creativity and great style that I see linked up each week and maybe, after a few hundred (really) of these link parties, I simply can’t.  I’ll just say that I’m always impressed and inspired.  I’ll thank you for that and leave it there.
I actually just picked up a few new dressers to work on.  Over the next few weeks, I will be introducing the remaining five colors in the European MMSMP line and needed some “subjects.” Mwa-ha-ha.  I needed a little break from painting furniture after the push before The Chapel Market, but I’m feeling the itch now.  Kirste and I will probably start working on them next week.
Anyway, enough chit-chat.  Onto the favorites and the party…
This little medical-cabinet-turned-side-table ads such a cute vintage quirk to this space by Jill of Sew a Fine Seam.  I think unconventional decorating choices like this are what really set a space apart.  (The lamp and chair slips are pretty fabulous, too!)

I know that refinishing and/or painting furniture can entirely change the look, but I am still amazed how this table that looked dated and tired now looks like a beautiful antique.  Laurel from The North End Loft painted the base and refinished the top, giving it a warm patina that will look beautiful for years.

Lastly, Olivia from The Wannabe Cowgirl turned an old microwave stand into a very cool laundry cart.  I think this was such a clever way to repurpose an item that would be overlooked by most people.  Well done!

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. Thanks so much for featuring my ‘side table’ Marian! I love it and am so glad it ended up where it is. It was a bit of an accident but a very happy one!
