Be Inspired Features and Link Party #3

Welcome back for feature and party day! I am having so much fun checking out all the wonderful projects linked up.

Here are a few of the inspired ideas that caught my eye this week...

I am loving the big bold color that Lily Field Furniture used on this gorgeous dresser! And check out the gold hardware too.


Vintage Restyled shared this dresser transformation that looks like it came right out of Restoration Hardware!


Cyndi from Blue Star Antiques is a former math teacher with a love of all things with numbers. Just check out how she used vintage yard sticks on this chest!



Bonnie from Revolutionaries made this amazing sheet music desk as a Christmas gift for a friend. Imagine finding this under your tree!




If you've been to an Elizabeth & Co. tag sale, you know how we girls love old doors! Just look how At Home With K incorporated doors in a wonderful mudroom renovation.


Denise from Pink Postcard shared her very first upholstery project that started out as a $15 thrift store find. Now it's a real shabby chic beauty!



Jamie from DIY Home Sweet Home has a wonderful tutorial for keepsake quilts. Don't they look soft and cozy?



Sherry from Pondered Primed Perfected introduced us to her mother Gladys who creates cute and functional tote bags from animal feed bags. Now that is recycling at it's best!


And finally, I just love these stuffed paper hearts from Michele at The Scrap Shoppe! What a sweet Valentine's Day project!

Now let's share some inspiration!

Another Greige Buffet

We're calling it greige - a color blending gray and beige. No I did not make that up. It's in the dictionary. And it's a pretty fabulous color!


A few months ago I shared another curvy buffet. You might remember that I painted it with the "mystery paint" in my garage. We never did figure out how it got there. It was a Behr custom color match with no name, just a formula on the lid. It matched absolutely nothing in our home. And I'm positive that I did not buy this paint. Sometimes furniture mysteriously finds it's way to my garage, so who knows! Regardless of it's origin, you know I never let a good can of paint go to waste. And I thought the mystery paint was perfect on this big beautiful buffet.


So when I found this sweet leggy buffet, I knew exactly what color I was going to use.


And again. I was just thrilled with the result.

I think greige is a very sophisticated color, perfect for a piece with such classic lines.


I kept the original hardware, just updated the color.


I loved all the details on this piece.

I actually finished this one a while ago, just never got around to posting it. Seeing the pictures again makes my heart beat a little faster. If I had a spot for it, this one would have been a keeper.


And funny thing, I really did have one item in my house that matched the mystery paint perfectly. It's a ruffled sweater that I bought at JCrew a long time ago that I wear over and over again. It looks so cute with a white tshirt, jeans and ballet flats. Do you have favorite combinations that just feel good to wear? Well this greige sweater is a favorite and now every time I wear it, I think about the mystery paint. It's a funny little thing, but it makes me smile!


And it's now week #2 of our Be Inspired Link Party. A huge thank you to everyone who has come by to linked up such wonderful and inspired projects! You are the best!
