Hello World! Welcome Friends! Well, after 1000 years, I’m changing up the Make it Pretty Monday party. I’ve been thinking about changing things up on the party for quite some time. So, I decided today that last night’s Sunday Showcase was going to be the last one. And, I’m shortening the Feature List. There have been times when there have been up to 14 features for Make it Pretty in addition to the top 4 fan favorites from The Showcase. From now on, we will have an abbreviated feature list. I hope you enjoy the new streamlined party.
Later this week, I plan on showing you the new hardware in the kitchen. If you follow me on Instagram, I gave a sneak peek on my stories. Check it out quick before the stories go away. Today was a crazy day, so you can hear about the mayhem in my stories. Also, I would love it if you would follow me on Instagram if you currently don’t. This mama’s trying to grow her Social Media following and my Instagram is lagging behind my Facebook and Pinterest. So, if you could help me out, I would appreciate it. I’m trying to get to that elusive 1000 followers organically. Oh, and on my stories, I posted a poll about the Powder Room Project that I would love to hear your thoughts on. So, go check it out and vote, sweet lovelies!
Annnnnd, if you missed Chloe’s Hangout Den, please pop on over and have a look. Chloe styled her Hangout Den and wants to know what you think. She’s super proud of her first styling gig and as a proud mama, I think she did a great job. So, pop on over and give her some comment love, pretty please.
In the meantime, it’s your time to Shine! So, showoff your pretty!!
Welcome to Week 262 of:
Well, we all know that I love a white kitchen and I love gold hardware! So, this kitchen update from Chaos with Coffee really caught my eye. Mama, those are some pretty pulls.
You know, I have days where I wished I would have stayed the course when my Grandmother was trying to teach me to crochet. This is one of those days. These washcloths from Winding Road Crochet are practically perfect in every way!!
Even though I have already see a couple of Fall Tours out in Blogland, and I’m contemplating making a Fall wreath, I’m still wanting Summer to last just a little while longer. One Thousand Oaks shared a pretty Summer tour that has me thinking of making a quick beach trip before school starts.
I have seriously been thinking about getting one of these Parisian Coffee Tables. I was happy that Farmhouse 40 ordered one. And, just look at it! How gorgeous! This may help me make my decision.
Okay, when I saw this, I thought, “Surely there’s a way I can incorporate this in Chloe’s new room design.” So sweet and pretty. To get the tutorial, stop by Lindsay’s Sweet World!

Thanks for hosting Kathryn. Have a wonderful week!
Always lovely to see you, Pam!
Thank you for the party, Kathryn!
Big Texas Hugs,

Happy to see you, Susan!
I sure understand the need to pare back a bit on the features. When I first started blogging I did a Motivated Monday link party. It was a ton of work. Just reading the posts and responding to everyone. I don’t know how you do it all.
I did follow you on Instagram. I’m sure that is just one more thing for you to stay on top of, but I’d love it if you would consider following me back. I feel like we are both into the design more than recipes or fashion, not that I don’t love that too. 😀 Anyway, thank you again for hosting. Hope this week is a bit calmer for you.
Thanks so much, Pam for stopping by the party and for following me on Instagram. I’ve followed you back!! Have a great week!
