Make it Pretty Monday – Week 61

by 46 Comments

Hello World!  We have rogue kittens.  Their antics are so much fun to watch.  They have been practicing climbing the baby gate, and sometimes they have been successful upon reaching the other side.  Often times, they end up not quite making it.  It won’t be long before we have three little kittens running throughout the house.  Oh goodness.  They will be 5 weeks old tomorrow.  It was so hard to get a good picture of them.  But, here they are…cuteness if I do say so. 

Welcome to Week 61 of:
Make it Pretty Monday
My Favorite
Pretty Karen has put together a lovely vignette using gorgeous old books surrounded by paperweights and a lovely decanter.  To see more, head on over to

Shopping Queen
Pretty Laura picked up the pinch bowls while out thrifting.  Don’t they just shout, “Summer”?  Yellow and white are such fresh, happy colors.  Scoot on over to 
Cookie Crumbs and Sawdust to take a closer look.

Furniture Transformation Queen
Pretty Deborah transformed this piece into the beauty you see here.  Love the lines, curves and the depth of this one.  Sighing and swooning.  Deborah and her dresser can be found at

    Hi Kathryn, thank you so much for the feature! I do hope you try this, I can tell you, I was very disappointed that it was totally scarfed up, I was hoping for leftovers! I adore seeing your pretty kitties every week, how cute to watch them try to climb that gate! Thanks for the wonderful party,
    Jenna

    Those kittens are just precious! As I sit here at my computer, typing away, I have a precious little fur ball curled up in my lap. I just know those little babies will find good homes (or may be you are planning to keep them?). Thanks so much for hosting, Kathryn!
