furniture feature friday | favorites & link party

Furniture Feature Friday
 Good evening, all!  I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to make my picks tonight, but I squeak them in.  Kriste and I have had a full day of upholstery, sewing, painting and then she and her husband hung out with us for dinner.  We were all laughing and the boys were highly entertained and entertaining in turn.  It’s been a good, full day.  So, here are my picks from last week…
This burled campaign dresser by Christina of Phoenix Restoration is stunning.  She totally did this piece justice by giving it a fresh look, but highlighting the original features that make this piece shine.  Well done.

Cami from Tidbits found this table in her grandfather’s junk yard.  I can understand someone not seeing the potential in it, but the faded paint, rusty hardware, X legs and even the warped top endeared it to me.

Lastly, Colleen from 58 Water Street transformed this table with paint on the base and a washed technique on the top.  She stripped of the shiny orange finish and now it has a more timeless look.

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 for hosting! Since this is a furniture link party, I figured this trick an old timer carpenter taught me to repair furniture might be helpful to folks linking up here too. Thanks again! Liz http://www.HometoCottage.com (formerly DecorateWithaLittleBit.com)

  2. Marian, I fee like an idiot, but I linked up twice (same post), but the first one is a broken link and I cannot figure out how to delete it. I can only see that little trash can icon on the one that has the correct link. Please forgive me, and if you can, delete the first one? The broken link is #24. If not, no biggie… I just hate looking like a moron who links up the same project twice.

  3. Marian – Thank you so much for the feature!!! Your compliments mean the world. Thank you for hosting this party each week, it’s great to meet so many creative artists!!
    Blessings!!

  4. Good Morning Marian!! Wow what a great surprise to start my day to see I was feature in your Blog! This is a dream come true and it means the world to me.
    Thank you so much for featuring me, for hosting this awesome party every week and for giving us the opportunity to be a part of your Blog.
    You are such an inspiration!

Lucketts Spring Market Wish List 2026

I’ve reached that tipping point in my life where I feel like I probably have enough stuff.  No doubt, I passed that point years ago, but hunting for antiques and just the right piece for my house is still so much fun!  I have noticed I walk out of more
