Furniture Feature Friday – Favorites & a Link Party

Thanks so much to everyone who has asked about our safety.  We are in the middle of all of the flooded areas and our schools were closed today, but we’re not seeing anything that bad in our immediate area.  It was much worse in the spring…and we had about 8″ of standing water in our basement that time.  Please keep the families in the Susquehanna Valley in your prayers.  They are the ones who have been hit hard. 

Closed schools definitely threw a kink in my day.  We ended up hiring a babysitter, so we could head out to deliver some new pieces to my space at Lucketts.  I actually ran into a reader there, which is always fun.  She hiked all the way up to the third floor just to see my space.  So sweet! 

One last thing, if you notice some strange things happening with my website or you get an e-mail kicked back, it’s OK.  It’s under control and all a part of booting my website off the domain I will be using for my WordPress blog.  Just be patient for a couple of weeks while we’re making some technical changes. 
OK, enough gab.  Here are my favorites from last week. 

Mandi from Vintage Revivals is super talented and she just drives that point home with her most recent chair makeover.  I love how bold she is with patterns and colors.  Maybe I’m just a big weenie.
 

Lily Field Furniture posted this lovely mustard yellow dresser.  It just looks happy and I love the black hardware against it.  Very classy.   This blog only has 13 followers, so show her (him?) some love. 
 
Lastly, Lisa from My Not-So-Shabby Life tackled this ornate secretary and I love how it turned out.  It was totally worth all of the effort!  Can I have that brick wall, please?
 
 

Link up ladies…and gentleman.  We’re an equal opportunity link party, here. 

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 Saturday at midnight PST and I will choose my favorite(s) and feature their piece(s) on next week’s FFF.

  2. Wow- I am so honored! Thanks so much for the feature- you were my first time linking anywhere but where better to start than with the guru herself! (btw- I am a she!)

  3. Happy to hear you are safe. So devastating and unexpected. We lost internet and have standing water in our basement but I feel so fortunate compared to areas only minutes away! Definitely keeping them in my prayers.

  4. Hi! I wanted to link up to the party, but the thumbnail downloading instructions were very confusing. Even my computer experts here at home didn't know how I was to resize my photo. Do you think you could explain in more detail? Thanks!

  5. Hope you all are working stuff out down there in PA. My cousin lives in Mehoopany, and posted a pic on Facebook yesterday of a house (not a trailer either, it was some kind of 2- or 3-story old farmhouse) floating down the river by his house. My sister lives in Lock Haven and showed me a bunch of pics of nasty stuff happening down there, so keep safe!

  6. I know I'm late to this link party, but hey i have zero follower so i will be lucky if i will 13 followers :)so i just uploaded my furnitre 🙂 please check out my blog

  7. I actually thought of you yesterday and was wondering how you were faring! I'm right outside Hershey and we did have 3-4" in our basement, a leaky roof and my van flooded of all things! Gah! But we are incredibly lucky compared to some of my family and friends. This is unreal.

  8. About Alice & Jay–love their shop -like the Mermaid Lamp and the Subway Art labled Pink –and ruffled curtains -great shop—Gale
