Hello, ladies! It’s time for my favorite post of the week…Furniture Feature Friday! This is where I feature a favorite furniture find from blog land and where you can link up to show off your furniture makeovers, thrifty finds, curbside saves, arrangements, or treasured pieces.
Before I get to the feature, I have a confession to make (and I’m generally not this wordy, so I apologize in advance.) I got caught up in the numbers of this blog party and encouraged people to post anything and everything household related. I thought the more the merrier and felt that furniture only posts might be too restrictive. Someone (ahem, you know who you are) rightly pointed out that this party was about featuring furniture and she enjoyed that it didn’t include crafts and other projects. I appreciate that she pointed that out, because she’s right. So, even if only 2 of us are out in our garage refinishing furniture the week before Christmas, this party is and shall evermore be about furniture. If you want to participate, but you don’t paint several pieces of furniture a week (like I generally do), then share your favorite piece of furniture, a great thrift store find, a unique arrangement in your home, or even a piece of furniture that’s on your wish list. Since Christmas is a week away, you could share how you rearranged your furniture to make room for your tree or how you dressed your furniture up for the holidays! Anything furniture related is game. There are so many other wonderful parties where you can share your crafty creations (and I participate in those as well), but this will be the party to come to show off your furniture and get some inspiration. Blah, blah…on to the feature.
The Feature
I’m sure all of you know Rhoda from Southern Hospitality. Hers is one of the very first blogs I found and followed. I love her graceful, sophisticated and homey style. A few days ago, she posted a couple of her favorite pieces of furniture. I thought they were gorgeous and wanted to share them with you, in case you missed them.
The Party:
Here are the rules to participate:
1.) Your post has to be about furniture. You can share makeovers, thrifty finds, favorite furniture pieces, great arrangements, or pieces on your wish list. In case you missed my suggestion above, you can share how you rearranged your furniture to make room for you Christmas tree or how you decorated your furniture for Christmas!
2.) Post a permalink, not the link to your blog.
3.) The link party closes Saturday (I’m extending it for a day) at midnight PST and I will choose my favorite and write a full feature about their blog (sorry, no giveaway this week!)
Okay- this may be a riduculous question but can I post about a not so great piece that got covered by a great cocoa bean tablecloth???
Oooh, that pie crust table is quite yummy!
Happy week before Christmas!

Nice Tables…
You honestly amaze me with how knowledgeable you are in regards to terms in furniture. Pie crust table! I've never heard of the term but it's perfect!
And yes, Rhoda has incredible style! Her entire home has so many interesting pieces!
Thanks for hosting again!

I've been wanting to participate in this for some now. When the dust has settled from the holidays, this furniture lover is going to get busy! I will be back….
Thank you for hosting us 🙂
Holiday hugs, Erika
Thanks SO much for leaving it for furniture. I am working on a gift that I can't post yet, unless the wrong person sees it, but I promise will be back many times in 2010. Love your blog!
~~Merry Christmas~~
Hooray! I applaud you for so eloquently and respectfully defending your decision to keep things strictly furniture. I truly appreciate this link party, thanks for hosting. 🙂 LOVE the inspiration and ideas it provides….
Thank you for hosting! I love seeing everyones unique style & sharing my own! I'm so excited every week to look at this blog!
I can't wait to see what everyone posts!
THank you for the furniture feature! I truly appreciate it & am honored to be here. Those 2 are really favorites of mine & I love them both. The 2nd one wasn't a great deal, but one of those things that I just had to have. And since I'll keep it forever, it will pay for itself many times over. And you know that new pieces of furniture are junk compared to the old ones. merry Christmas!!
Today is my first furniture feature friday here at mustard seed creations and my first ever post on my blog. 🙂
Marian you are one sweet and talented lady and I wanted to thank you for leaving your comment on my new blog 🙂
