Today we are heading off on our family vacation to Arizona and Colorado. I am giddy with anticipation. It has been a sprinted marathon to get through this summer, but tomorrow we cross the finish line and it’s all about time with the boys, hiking, taking in the scenery and unplugging for a while. I’ve been working on some posts, so things will run as usual here on the blog, but I won’t be checking e-mail or responding to comments very often. I’ll pop in here and there, so I’m not welcomed home by 2500 e-mails in my inbox. If you have something important to ask, I would suggest waiting until September to send me an e-mail!
I do have a guest picker lined up for FFF next week, so be ready to link up…same blog, same time.
Here are my favorites from last week…
Anyone who knows me even a little bit could pick this dresser by Julia of 551 East Furniture Design out of a lineup as one that would win my affection. It’s blue and white, chippy, heavily distressed…everything mustard-seed-ish. MMS Milk Paint wasn’t used for this piece, but the color is strikingly similar to our new Artissimo. This piece is beautiful, Julia.
I thought this upcycled job by Julie of Less than Perfect Life of Bliss is so cute and clever. It was an average antique trunk, but they gave it a lot of TLC to transform it into a corner bookshelf. The pinstripe lining puts it over the top for me!
I think this brush-stroke-y (yes that’s a technical term) ombre dresser by Meagan of Estuary Designs is so striking! Wow! And the styling is perfection as well.
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!

Lovin’ the blue furniture features, especially the first on by Julia! Thank you for hosting, Marian. 😮
I SO wanted to use Artissimo Marion, but I had already bought the Coastal Blue the day before when your post on it came out. I was seriously torn. Next time. 🙂 But thank you for the feature!! I thought of you when I was working on it, so I’m so glad you like it. 🙂
Oh my goodness! That’s totally okay. I pick pieces to feature because of the piece, not the brand if paint used. 🙂 That piece would fit right in at my house!
Welcome, in advance, to the desert! I hope you bring your sunscreen. Its going to be 110 in Phoenix for the next several days!
I just love all of the favorites this week! Every one of them is unique and lovely. The pinstripe trunk is so clever, the chippy dresser perfectly primitive, and the ombre paint technique is styled so well with the vogue and gold. Gotta love them all! Can’t wait to go thru this weeks submission. Thanks for the inspiration!
Thank you for hosting, Marian. Lovely features!!!
Gorgeous pieces!! Love ALL 3! Fabulous work ladies!
WOW! A THOUSAND Thank you’s Marion for the feature! I’m “tickled pink” that you like her! I will be using “Brush-stroke-y” from now on. I honestly wasn’t sure how to describe that part of it. Sending you a big virtual hug! Congrats to Julia and Julie! Loving your designs as well!
Wow! wow! wow! Your 3 picks are my top 3 picks too!
Fresh perfection 🙂

It was really nice reading your post. You have shared some really nice stuff here. I really liked the blue furniture.
