Furniture Feature Friday, Furniture Makeovers

Kriste and I spent our day traveling to Wisconsin! Trips like these are always so fun. Tiring, but fun. So much of my work is done behind the computer, in my house or in the studio and it’s nice to get outside of that bubble.

Anyway, I did have some time to pick favorites before heading out the door. There were a lot of “wow” pieces, but these are a few stand-outs.

The rustic stool by Jamie of anderson + grant is so clever and simple AND amazing. It’s definitely an example of the sum being great than the parts.

This rusty old library cart got a fresh look with a chippy coat of white paint that seems to suit it perfectly. I think Manda from Lost in the Found did a great job.

Kim from Painted Poppy Studio appropriately named this dresser the “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea” dresser. How cool is that octopus?!

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!

Thank you Marian for Furniture Favorites today. My furniture was a mix of paint and rearranging. Love the features (always).

The only drawback to the card catalog is that now Paul expects ALL finds to be insanely cheap (and possibly for me to be more organized.)

THANKS for sharing me!!

I’ve been following your blog for years. Every Friday I look forward to your Furniture Feature Link-up.
Can you tell me where I can find the rules for linking up?

Thanks in advance!
