I'm having issues with Blogger! GRRR. All my followers disappeared! I'm not sure what went wrong, I'm trying to find a solution, but there is no help from Blogger whatsoever. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, please help.
I saw so many awesome projects on every ones link parties this week. It was tough to pick my favorite three! I'm really attracted to bright colors this week. These three projects do not fall short on beautiful color. Here they are, my Friday Favorites...HAPPY FRIDAY!
Nicole @ Home For Hire gave this little table a bright, sunny makeover! How cute! And, how adorable are those paper flowers on it. I'm loving this yellow color. Beautiful job Nicole. Head over to HOME FOR HIRE and check out this table.



I knew I had to feature this the moment I saw it. I'm in LOVE with this table. Oh, my goodness just look at that color! You have to head over to Lauren's blog WEST FURNITURE REVIVAL and check out this table transformation. She did a beautiful job!


Finally, Lorie @ VINTAGE COUNTRY GIRL gave these thrift store candle sticks the sweetest makeover! How cute are these?! I know what I'll be looking for next time I'm at the thrift store. Loving this project.

I hope you enjoyed my Friday Favorites this week and will go visit these ladies and their beautiful blog projects.

HAPPY FRIDAY!

Coffee Bags

Look what my husband brought home for me yesterday! Used Coffee Bags. He just knows what makes me HAPPY! I cannot wait to use these babies. We are doing an entire makeover of our dining room table, chairs and bench seat later in August. *yes, we've planned it that far ahead because this is going to require some work and days off! I can't wait to show you how I'm going to incorporate these.


There are even unroasted coffee beans in them still....HMMMM, I wonder if I could roast my own at home? Hahaha.
I can't wait to do this project. To be continued...

My Superherio


Yep, I put an "i" in superheroes. Why? That's what my kids call superheroes...SUPERHERIOES(just like cheerios) I love it. Here is my youngest Easton wearing a Batman mask and cape thanks to his blanket. This is what he looks like at some point every single day.


Both of my boys LOVE any superhero right now. They have a few masks that keep getting lost in toy boxes or under the bed. That makes for a sad superhero. What to do? Well, I must be rubbing off on my husband, because one day he came up with this cute superhero mask rack to hang in their room. Do you know how proud I am of my husband?! Here is what he came up with ...He sanded down an old sign we had hanging up that just didn't match our decor anymore, spray painted it then added some old eye hooks! How creative is he!?





It works awesome and we never have missing superherio masks anymore!

Happy 25Th Birthday to my Brother

I just had to do a quick post to say Happy 25Th Birthday to the best Brother! We love you Snookie...YES, my Sisters and I call our Brother Snookie(his real name is Derek). He's been Snookie long before the show Jersey Shore existed, so NO, we did not get it from that show. Hope you had a wonderful day. All our LOVE! Your German Chocolate Cake Balls will be in the mail soon.

Inspired By Sand and the Sea


Now that we are well into sharing Summer decor all over blog land, here is my Summer Mantle...Finally! I was very much inspired this year to decorate in blues, whites, and natural grey tones. For the blues, I used my THRIFTED SEAHORSE & my MADE OVER MIRROR!
For the whites I used my FREE FRAMES inspired by a Pottery Barn catalog & THE SALT DOUGH STARFISH. A few things I've had on hand for a long time are the Shells and the letter "J" for our last name. As for the grey, the driftwood will be in a post to come and the rocks, well it's helpful to have two boys that think rocks are a good thing to bring to mommy as a gift! I love my boys.
So there you have it! I'll be sharing some other ways that I decorate for Summer, but till then I hope you can find some inspiration in nature that will help you decorate your home.
I am so excited that the official start to Summer is almost here!
