Hello World! Welcome Friends! Here we are smack dab in the middle of Summer. It’s getting hotter here in Houston, but I love it! We have had a busy weekend and from the looks of it, this week is lining up to be just as busy. I’ve been busy painting the laundry room, but it is not quite finished. If all goes well, I hope to have it finished in the next couple of days and can show it to you later this week. So, what are your plans for the week? Do you have major projects you are working on, or are you planning on working on your tan? Whatever your plans, I wish you a lovely week. Grab your favorite beverage, sit back and enjoy the inspiration that is following!
Welcome to Week 218 of:
My Favorite
I love this Patriotic Front Porch from A Day of Small Things! Pop on over to check out all of the pretty details.
Craft Queen
Dazzle While Frazzled has a super easy craft for you. This super cute, Outdoor Movie Blanket. (And, of course, Super Cute Kids!) Dash on over to get the scoop.
Shopping Queen
The Interior Frugalista found these cute cross back chairs in a local thrift store and a friend gave her the pedestal table. As usual, she has transformed them beautifully!
Furniture Transformation Queen
What a great Ombre effect all in cool blues! Pay a visit to to get the tutorial.
Sewing Queen
We love Officer Judy Hopos from one of our favorite movies! Zip on over to Lalka Crochetka to pick up the details on this cutie pie!
Culinary Delight Queen
How amazing does this look? You gotta stop by Melissa Kaylene to pick up the recipe for Pork Tenderloin Crostinis with Raspberry Puree & Herbed Ricotta. You won’t regret it!
Dessert Queen
Just in time for the 4th of July are these Patriotic Strawberries from Lindsay’s Sweet World! Scooch on over to get all of the details to make your own to wow your guests or to bless your hostess.
Tablescape Queen
I on purpose didn’t choose a wide shot of this beautiful tablescape from North Country Nest. Not only is the tablescape perfection, but the outdoor setting is divine! Did I pique your interest? Now, you can’t resist a visit.
DIY Queen
I guess you can tell I loved all of the furniture projects that were linked up last week. Who can blame me? Look at this gorgeous buffet that The Wood Spa transformed! Be sure to drop in for a visit to check out the before.
Home Decor Queen
Brooklyn Berry Designs took us along on a tour of a beautiful model home! I love this wall treatment and the kitchen is gorgeous! I think my car has a homing device on it to automatically seek out model homes in my area. It is one of my all time favorite pastimes.
