Make it Pretty Monday – Week 58

by 42 Comments

Hello World!  Happy Monday!  We had such a great party last week that you made it hard yet again to pick the features.  However, I persevered…lol.  Are you ready to see the kittens?  They will be 2 weeks old on Tuesday.  Their eyes are open and they scooch around in their box.  The Dedicated Daughter is looking forward to the day they climb out of that box and run up the stairs to play.  She will be in complete bliss when that happens. 

I know, it’s hard not to fall in love.  Sweet little things.  
M’kay, let’s party.  Welcome to Week 58 of:
Make it Pretty Monday
My Favorite
Pretty Judy knows how to dress up the 4th of July in style.  It’s the layers that get me every time.  To see more of Judy’s 4th, dash on over to French Laundry.

Craft Queen

Pretty Lina painted her outdoor pillows with Annie Sloan Chalk paint in Antibes Green and Pure White as well as breaking out a couple of stencils.  Simply perfect.  Scoot on over to 
Fancy Frugal Life to see more.

Shopping Queen

Pretty Emily bought these vintage babies and brightened them up with a pretty Sun Yellow color.  She also scored some vintage nesting bowls as well.  Head on over to the 
Front Forty Farm to see her haul.

Tablescape Queen

Pretty Dawna has set the table to welcome her 4th of July guests.  I know the holiday has passed, but I love Patriotic decor.  The napkins are fantastic!  Dawna and her tablescape can be found at Stitches from the Tub.

Home Decor Queen
 Pretty Karen…Usually the Home Decor spotlights the interior of the home, but Karen’s new exterior paint and added architectural elements kept me coming back to take a look again.  The outside is the first thing people see when they come to our homes and this is just another wonderful reminder to feather our nests on the outside as well.  Beautiful job Karen!!  Scoot on over to A Stylish Interior to see the all of the details and a cute kitty!

Purple Hues and Me.

Pretty Debbi shared her lovely garden full of hollyhocks with us.  You must go see this pretty garden full of blooms.  But, be careful, you might get bit by the gardening bug.  Walk on over to
