Furniture Feature Friday – Favorites & a Link Party
I usually feature individual pieces of furniture each week, but out of all of the amazing entries from last week’s party, it was two rooms that blew me away. Here they are… Erin from erin’s art and gardens transformed her childhood dining set (and entire dining room) with paint and original art. I love the soft shades of white […]

And I love the grass green color. …a tool caddy. Again, I love the color of the chippy, worn paint. […]
my own little corner of the world

Quote the Walls Giveaway!
It’s pretty rare for me to host two giveaways in one week (I try to stick at around two a month), but a spontaneous decision earlier this week has brought us here. I don’t think I’m going to hear any complaints, though! Today I have the pleasure of introducing you to Quote the Walls, a […]
