Furniture Feature Friday – Link Party & Say Hello to…

Due to a string of circumstances, my guest picker wasn’t able to pick favorites tonight, but she has wonderful taste, so I can’t wait to see what she picks next time she’s available.  So, tonight, I thought I would share a preview of one of our new MMS Milk Paint Colors.  Say “hello” to Artissimo…
I’ll introduce the color in a full post next week, but couldn’t resist sharing this amazing piece done by Abbe Doll of All Dolled Up.  Isn’t the color so rich and beautiful?  I hope you love it as much as I do.

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. That is an awesome color of blue! Just beautiful.

    How do you get to be a guest picker? I would LOVE to do that. I love this party. I always get lots of traffic from your site and I am very grateful! I’d love to be able to return the favor.

  2. Pretty color! Marion, you just have to give up this FFF link or be faithful about it! Just sayin.” You don’t seem to understand that people submit their furniture in hopes of being recognized and highlighted!

    1. No, I understand that, because link parties were so key in helping my blog grow when I first started. That’s why I haven’t given it up. Most of the time I have features, but this summer has been rough!!

      1. I think that was a little (or a lot!) harsh. You have a million things going on in your world and I think it’s wonderful that you still host a link party each week, features or not. We get the chance to look at each others pieces if we like them and even though I know mine will never make the features list, I love joining in. Thanks Marion x

      2. Very gracious response. Understand it is simply flattering and true that people submit items for you to “approve”. They will get over it if they stick around long enough to see how busy you are…many still believe the grass is greener….greener it may be but Lord it is also thicker and needs much more attention!

        Keep up the great work! See you at “Haven”! Can’t wait!

  3. Have you picked a winner for the Decor Steals giveaway or did i miss the winners. thank you and thank you for doing the giveaway’s.

  4. Thanks for hosting these wonderful inspiration parties! Note to self….order some MMS colors ASAP! They are gorgeous.

    I’m enjoying my MMS finishing and antiquing wax. No smell and such a nice finish too!

  5. Thank you so much for hosting the link party! We love distressed furniture and got our kitchen buffet table from a distressor – not a real word but who cares? One who distresses 🙂

  6. If its not too much trouble can you delete my link #152, my thumbnail did not load and I’d like to re-link. Sorry for the extra work :/
    Thank you!

  7. LOVE Artissimo! I was thinking how beautiful a piece would be in a darker blue!!!

  8. That’s a beautiful color, Marian!
    Too bad I don’t have anything blue in my house. 🙁

    When are you rolling out your new copper colored milk paint?

  9. I love your new color (wil be great in my future master bedroom). Beyond that, today I have to thank you for #1 by Suzan. I’m laughing so hard tears are running down my leg! Her color is beautiful too, but will never be duplicated. ROFLOL!!! Thanks, Marian and Suzan!!!

  10. Thanks for the party-I believe I have a dresser very similar to one you have painted! Oak leaves/acorn drawer pulls. I painted it with Paris grey-just something I had one hand. Blessings~Lynda

  11. That’s just the blue I’ve been looking for. I have this perfect piece that needs this paint. I hope one of your online retailers will have it soon!
