Furniture Feature Friday – Favorites & A Link Party

I’m sorry about my linky flub last week.  My bad.  Anyway, I’ve got it sorted out for this week. 

I got a lot of great inspiration from your posts last week and I’m looking forward to what you have to share this week.  Here are some standouts for me from last Friday:

Stacy from Red Door Home found these amazing chairs at an antique shop.  Aren’t they super cool?  I don’t even mind the orange.  Love these, Stacy.  What a great find!

Sarah from Diddle Dumpling turned an old desk into an awesome kitchen island.  Clever girl!  I love the paint color and finish and, of course, the glass knobs. 
Suesan from Frou-fru-gal made this incredible ancestral map settee that was a true labor of love.  This is so creative, resourceful and really unique.  Wonderful job, Suesan!  I tip my hat to your skill and patience!
Thanks to all who linked up and I look forward to the party tonight.  I have a great giveaway tomorrow, so make sure you come back!
Here are the rules for this 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.) The link party closes Friday at midnight PST and I will choose my favorite(s) and feature their piece on next week’s FFF.

  1. Pretty fabulous pieces! Those chairs – oh my, how COOL! And that kitchen island is so creative. I can't even imagine what went into that settee – wow!

    Thanks for hosting.

  2. Thank you, Miss Mustard Seed for featuring my settee. I'm so happy people are enjoying it as much as we are. It's currently in my bedroom and I will probably use the colors from it as inspiration for our room redo.

    Thanks for hosting such a great party. You are the Best!

  3. I watched your whole series on slip covering furniture. I used some of your tips when I created my ottoman (#98 on the link-ups). Thanks for inspiring me to take a chance on making it.

  4. I love these parties. I always get so much inspiration. I have a few pieces I'll start sharing next time. My photographer (teenage daughter) has been too busy to take "after" pictures. Thank you for hosting.

  5. I'm so happy I finally got in to your link party…thanks for hosting…also, wanted to let you know that I'm hosting a giveaway over on my blog….take a peek and pass the word along if you'd like…
    happy weekend, Mariaelena

Lucketts Fall Market 2026 Preview & Details

Bringing a few paintings to potentially sell at the Lucketts Spring Market was a test to see how my art would do there.  Of course, after years of being a vendor at Lucketts, both at the markets and in the store, I had a good grasp of what would do

Beekman Arms Inn | Rhinebeck, NY

Mom and I left Thursday morning to drive a little over five hours to Rhinebeck, NY, for the Country Living Fair.  Our plan was to meander our way up, stopping at antique malls along the way.  That plan didn’t materialize because I didn’t have much time before the trip to
