Hello World! Time for Make it Pretty Monday – Week 179! School is out and Summer has officially started here at our house! I believe it will be time for a dip in the pool after I finish writing this post. So, let’s get this party started!
Welcome to Week 179 of:
My Favorite
I love this porch at the Lake House from Ramblings of a Southern Girl. Stop by to hear pretty Rhonda tell a couple of stories that will make you smile. I could spend some serious time rocking away on her lovely porch.
Craft Queen
Clover House has a great tutorial for this super cute patriotic rag wreath; just in time to help us (including me) spruce up our front doors for the 4th of July!
Shopping Queen
Our Home Away from Home picked up her outdoor furniture last year for 50% off and this year has hit up Hobby Lobby for some aqua accents. Everything looks so great and the furniture has held up nicely! I’m still loving her rope lamp!
Furniture Transformation Queen
I love, love, love this charcoal gray and mahogany sideboard! Perfection. To check out the before, run on over to Lilly’s Home Designs.
Sewing Queen
Oh. My. Word. This is so precious! To pick up the tutorial for the Elephant Crochet Hat, zip on over to Jenny and Teddy.
Culinary Delight Queen
We love Onion Rings, but don’t eat them very often. Now, we have a recipe! I don’t know if I should thank The Lazy Gastronome or not! LOL. Stop by to pick up the recipe.
Dessert Queen
A Day of Small Things shared her Shortcake recipe. This looks so refreshing. Perfect for a hot summer day!
Tablescape Queen
I love this outdoor Patriotic table from My Kentucky Living. Simple and elegant.
DIY Queen
Loving this Rustic American Flag Pallet from Pink Fortitude! Drop in for a visit and the tutorial.
Home Decor Queen
Jarrah Jungle shared a great post filled with Craft Room Inspiration!
